Rolex acquisition

[li55ven]

Hello people,

I am new in this forum and recently bought a replica Rolex
Here is the watch:
http://vip-watches.eu/catalog/item/2270/rolex-oyster-perpetual-submariner-50th-anniversary-edition-2270#.UHh-mbe9Kc0

Why is it cheaper than Japan movements although it has ETA movement?
I am completely lost.

Please help

Thanks

It looks to have the wrong size markers on the dial.

Is it possible to know where the watch has been made?
Are swiss ETA watches like the one i bought made in switzerland?

Thanks!

Its not a trusted dealer buddy, it's a scam site :gotgoat:

To summarise, there are a lot of scam sites out there. Reading up on this forum will keep you right. Buy from trusted dealers from here and dont believe half of the bull*&^ out there on websites that claim to have swiss made watches etc. Not saying your watch wont show up but its safer to buy from trusted dealers.

Bud, this watch was not made in Switzerland. It was probably made in an apartment in China, by a girl who was doing her homework.

Buy from these guys after reading this.

Enjoy!

By the way, for the price of the watch you ordered, chances are very low its mouvement ever been exposed to swiss air...

Hopefully, you'll get an asian eta movement for the $164. BTW, there is no such thing as a japanese movement in reps.

Usually by Japanese movement they means the 21j which was made based on the miyota.
They just want to makes it sound nicer than saying ' china movement'

Not to put too fine a point on it, but I got a Miyota quartz movement in one of my reps.

But we should not expect a Japanese mechanical movement to be inside any rep, as you point out. Sites that declare such things are spam sites to be avoided, IMHO.

It's amazing how people come across this site AFTER they've bought a rep from a random site. I think people get into it once they know they've committed to something. I once bought reps from iOffer and was severely burned.

That being said, this forum is a great place for resources. You've bought a Rolex from a random site, so all we can hope is that you end up getting what you've paid for. My thoughts are, just because a rep site isn't one of the TD's here, it does not necessarily translate to the site being a scam site; though many are in fact scam sites. It could just be a website that isn't proven and that carries a lot of risks. Would I get involved in one of them, hell no.

Try to read the stickies on this section, flame free section, and the section of the brand that you're interested in. It will give you a general layout of how the rep business works, and how one should go about buying, taking care of, modding, or selling a rep(s).

Good luck!
