Superclone 1:1 Replica

[cyclosporine]

Hello everyone,

I own an authentic Day-Date presidential, but I prefer not to wear it in public and would like to get a superclone version of the watch. Can anyone recommend where I can find a superclone version in 18k gold? Thanks for your help

hard to find since it's not the most popular model.
Asking for a 1:1 superclone is always difficult, you can read about the watches in this forum, look at the trusted dealers and make your decision, because no one here will make a decision for you.

Star time supplies have solid gold cases, I think they can custom make gold cases too for specific models

Hello! I myself have not been here long and I am no expert, so take my advice with a grain of salt.
First, see if the watch you are looking for is pictured on any of the Trusted Dealer websites. As a general rule, the most expensive is usually the best replica. Before placing an order contact the dealer to see if it is available. The items on the website are watches that have been replicated but not necessarily currently manufactured. Also, "superclone" implies copied all the way down to the movement. If you're not going to show the movement to people then you don't really need a superclone. The gold plating on reps is usually not that great. I don't think you need to get a solid gold case either. If you're concerned about robbery, you wouldn't want a thief to get the benefit of a solid gold case, even if it was a rep. If you can find the watch you want, get it re-plated. I've read about other members doing this and really improves the look without the cost. Instead of a solid gold case I would look to invest in a genuine dial, hands and crystal. Go to the Trusted Dealer section under Watchmakers and Horologists, and look in the Supporting Vendors section, there are some watch modifiers to start with. Good luck!

Hi there and welcome to RWI!

Our members have already given you essential pointers to your question.

Let me just add the following info about the marketing speak in the rep scene:

It's advisable to better forget terms like "1:1 super clone" or "Super Replicas AAA+++++"! They are buzzwords acceptable for our TDs to use in their marketing, but within the scene, they are not always appreciated as they transport a certain false impression about replica watches.

In actual reality, these terms are all as close to the truth as a gold-sh*tting unicorn.

The only things remotely corresponding with reality are the following un-official categories (with respective sub categories, but about that you'll learn soon enough if you keep educating yourself about this subject, let's keep it simple for now):

— Shitters (e.g. "DHgate shitter", or on Reddit: "r/Chinatime Shitters")

Those are cheap, very low-grade replicas, prices are ranging anywhere from roughly $10 to $100. They usually have many flaws and tells (compared to the gen) and are of poor to lower medium build quality.

— High-end replicas (e.g."top tier reps", or on Reddit: "r/Reptime reps")

Those are the best available replicas, usually branded with the manufacturer's "factory name" like e.g. VSF, Noob, ZF, VRF etc. Those range from $100 to over $1000 (but on average they cost roughly anywhere between $250 to $600). Build quality ranges from upper medium to NWBIG (stands for "not worth buying in gen").

— Franken watches, plural: Frankens (term derived from "Frankenstein").

Those are replica-based custom builds with genuine parts, ranging from mid 100s to five figure. A Franken watch could already be, very strictly speaking, just a rep with a replaced gen crystal, gen bezel insert or gen dial etc., but usually the definition refers to rather very elaborate and expensive creations, sometimes even with more gen than rep parts in them.

— Genuine watches (the real and only thing that's truly a 1:1 watch, commonly referred to as "gen, plural: gens")

Self-explanatory and the only way to truly have a watch that is identical with the thing you know from the fancy watch ads in magazines or the manufacturer's web site, because every rep, even the best Franken, will never be absolutely 100% identical to the gen.

Furthermore, if you haven't done so already, please take some time to read the sticky threads in the new members area (in all subsections), as they contain lots of information for newcomers and, most importantly, our forum rules which you need to know, and of course ideally to follow, to get the best out of your experience on RWI!
