Just make sure you know the serial/clasp code etc markings that tell the Clean Factory against others.
Yes, I agree there are many TDs here that will serve you well. And I do understand some people do not mind paying more for the able to feel the watch moment before buying. lol

Not related to OP's inquiry but FYI: One of the croc strap vendor in RWI happens to be in ho chi minh (ziczac). I ordered from him once and had it delivered to my hotel.

Here's my way of bargaining: go to one vendor and ask 50% (for clothing 70%) off the offered price. If he's offended & shoo you away then it's too low, move on to the next vendor and ask 40% off.

Hi,
Did you go to that shop? Did you manage to see the movment? Any feedback to share with me? Thanks!

Hello everybody,

I am going to visit Vietnam next week and intend to purchase my first replica there. I conducted some research and found that there are some stores that sell clean factory Rolex watches. Furthermore, I want to go to a store and see the replicas. The store that I've found has a web page. I checked GMT series and submariners. There are some nice watches. They have detailed pictures of the watches. (not the movement)

Prices are starting from 650 USD for clean factory watches. (prices are in Vietnamese Dong in the web page) (Prices are more expensive but I prefer to pay more not to deal the shipping and customs)

I am not sure if you can understand the quality from the pictures, I would greatly appreciate it if any experienced member could advise me to choose from these models.

The watches I liked are

1 Pepsi

2 pepsi

Stick to TDs and do your research on RWI - everything you need is already here. That’s the best advice you are going to get. You won’t make a mistake with Clean facotry generally speaking though.

I have extensive experience living and working in Asia over 20 years. Generally I would offer them around 30% of the asking price which upsets them, after 3 rounds of haggling and justification you will end up between 50 and 60% of original asking price and you will be part of the family. Good luck

Yes. I am sure that is possible. Usual these shops they marked up really high to cover their rental costs and also the workers salaries too.

They are only for tourists, I have never seen a typical Vietnamese worker wearing a rep. You can’t stop the guy from having a bit of fun, but there is no telling what he will end up with. If you want the best you should always buy on here M2’s or from a TD.

There are a lot of Vietnamese dealers who import the same watches as we do from China. I know two dealers who export to Vietnam weekly.
