Hi, I'm new here and new to the replica world. Where can I find the replica of this watch?

This is the link:

TAG Heuer Grand Carrera Calibre 17RS CAV511B.FC6225

I really want it to be exactly the same as the original (if possible) and that no one could notice the difference even the experts unless they do a deep thorough inspection.

I also need the strap to be exactly as shown in the picture. well basically everything to be the same from A to Z.

Could anyone guide me to the best dealer for this watch please?

First of all, the only way you are going to get a watch that is EXACTLY like the gen is to purchase the gen. No rep is going to be EXACT. Now if you want a Tag that is EXTREMELY similar and seemingly identical then you are in luck. IMHO Tag replicas (the more costlier models) are normally outstanding reps right-out-the-box. I own several tag reps and I love them! The best thing about the tag reps is there's nothing that you have to do to them to make them more gen like (other than getting AR if you are so inclined to do so) once you get them.

Replicamake has the watch that you want but it is NOT cheap:

http://www.replicamake.com/product_info.php?cPath=131_266&products_id=1292

As you can see, it is an outstanding rep and EXTREMELY close to its gen counterpart.

I did not go to replicamade.com as it sells very good but not GREAT reps (IMO).

Anti- reflection. It is a coating that is applied to the crystal that reduces reflection on the dial making it easier for you to view the time. Most highend timepieces (except Rolex) uses AR. The Tag that I gave you the link to has AR on it - just like its gen counterpart.

I am not an expert and only recently joined RWI, but I had a similar question about the availability of Swiss movements since I figured that only a Swiss movement would prove reliable. I read tons and tons of posts on RWI and ran many searches. After reading posts from the many experienced people on this site, I changed my mind. To summarize what I found out: even if a company is saying the rep has a swiss movement, 99% chance it is not, it will be an Asian-made clone. You will just pay more. But, not to worry as there are a number of well-made and reliable asian-made automatics to choose from according to the experts on this site. You do, however, need to do your homework.

Ya I agree with ugoderosa, all Asian automatic movement have the mark of Swiss Made even if they were made in China. Considering the price of the reps, it is not likely that you have a swiss movement in it.

As far as i'm aware there isn't an available swiss equivalent of this movement. This is because the Asian 7750 natively has the seconds running at 9'. To make the seconds dial/disc work at 3' a series of gears have been added to transfer the seconds to 3' from 9'.

From what I understand, the Cal 17 movement in the gen is based off a ETA2890 with a piggy back chrono complication added so I don't think ETA/Swatch or anyone sells a movement that could be put in them to give the same result.
