I’ve read so much info here so I hope I’m not going to get flamed for my first question. Am about to buy cartier panthere from one of the recommend dealers (probably trustime88) but the watch I want has inlaid diamonds. I’ve read some peoples experiences that they fall out. Should I steer clear of diamonds on a watch (I know that theyre not real) but I love diamonds on watches. i plan on wearing my watch to work (admin desk job) and going out. I look after my jewellery but I don’t want to be all super precious with my watch.

No offense intended, but if you’re going to worry about everything that could go wrong with a watch, then the replica hobby isn’t for you.
It can hold together for a year or 10 years, no one knows. After all they are super cheap copies of their gen counterparts.

Regarding inlaid “diamonds,” I wouldn’t worry significantly. Just show it a little care. Buy what you want, wear and enjoy it for as long as it lasts 😄 And if anything goes wrong, there are plenty of skilled people on the forum who can help you fix it.

Remember to read some reviews and familiarize yourself with what you can expect from the different TDs before making a purchase.
