Rep Tudor - WHY?

[muiramas]

SCG must be some new fangled Reddit lingo - I googled 'SCG Tudor' and it turns out its 'square crown guards'.

SCG are the current so called super clones, unless you are a true expert or have a gen handy for comparison (even then you need a magnifying glass and an expert eye) they are indistinguishable from the gen.

Link please? Thanks.

I have 2 genuine Tudor's - a Black Bay 58 Blue, and a Pelagos FXD. Both of them are simply superb. Way better than any AAAAAAAAAAA SCG bullshit.

Here's one for you - not everyone wants to wear a Chinese fake. Even those of us with Chinese fakes have real watches as well. Sometimes they are a gift to us, other times they are simply an indulgence and a pleasure.



We all inhabit the real world so I can only comment on that. However, in any world a fake watch is only ever a fake watch.

So the premise of your post seems to be why would anyone ever buy a real watch - that's a weird one.

Wow, we are way OFF-MESSAGE here and your leap to assuming that I am questioning buying a real watch is wildly inaccurate. For your information I have two gen Rolex and a gen Santos. My submariner is pristine and I have only worn it a few times. I want an "SCG bullshit" replica as it will not be questioned by any body who knows me as they all know I own the real deal. Nothing new about that, people have been wearing their fake jewels for centuries with the real stuff safe at home.

not really...

why oh why would you pay the same price for a TUDOR

in the SCG world you can get the Rolex for the same price. So please somebody WHY?

Let's have a look at these SCG reps then - link?

so what was the question again ?

I mean, can this even be possible? It sounds like we're entering the realms of pure fantasy.

I'm going to have to get my TD to drop everything else and go source me some SCGs pronto.

I'll let him know he's going to need a magnifying glass.

It's not fantasy, these super clones are fooling watch dealers, the top factories are even cloning the machines that make the watches.

A video by an expert at Watchfinder & Co. He explains, in some detail, why the latest super-clones are so good and describes their accuracy as off the scale.

but if they are the same price as gen (supposing they exist) why bother ?

Its a Noob GMT - it has a bucket load of flaws and a movement that would shit itself if you tried to change the time.

Wouldn't fool anyone who knew what they weren't looking at. Sorry.

Could you give an example of one of these “SCGs”? For example a link to where we can get one, or what factory produces them.

What? who said they were the same prive as a gen. They vary from about £325 for a datejust, about £375 for a Sub and about £450 for a daytona, box and papers are abour £30 on top. Geez, I though I was coming here to learn

I'd love to see that £450 Daytona that even dealers can't tell the difference....

Rep Tudor - WHY?

Here is something that is really puzzling me. If you are going to pay for an SCG super clone why oh why would you pay the same price for a TUDOR.

what rep tudor are you talking about ?

 

[muiramas]

Ahhhhh so the OP was asking why get a rep Tudor? Just in an odd way.

Err. because you like it?

 

[Papa Legba]

so what was the question again ?

My question was (slightly modified) Why pay £375 for a top grade Tudor clone when you can get a top grade Rolex clone for the same price?

That's like saying why pay for a top grade Rolex clone when you can get a top grade Patek clone for the same price.
