First off, hello everyone. I'm wondering if people on this forum are aware of the myth of replica watch origin.
It's very unfortunate that this myth is still being told.
I ran a very successful replica watch business on-line for 9+ years. It was the longest standing replica site on the internet.
I purchased thousands of replicas from many sources, mainly directly from China.
When watches are sold as being "Swiss" or even "Japanese", the only parts really made/assembled in those countries are the movements. Everything else (case, bracelet, etc.) is manufactured in China! That's not to say there aren't excellent copies available from China, quite the contrary, actually.
I own several replicas in my own collection (go figure?) and have all examples. While the Swiss movement watches cost me twice as much as Japanese movement watches, they are no more accurate or long lasting. As to these qualities, I have owned many replicas over 9 years that still give me excellent service.
There are many beautiful replica watches available and the quality is better now than ever before but it amazes and infuriates me when I read ads that refer to watches being made in Japan, much less Switzerland! Let's keep it honest, shall we?
If this information is well know here, I apologize for appearing to be a "know it all", but, it's never-the-less very important for anyone considering ownership of a replica watch to know. :wink:
