I have not looked at every trusted dealers catalogues, but most of the watches I´ve seen are 3-4-500 dollars. And in the add they write thing like: "movement plate and rotor which are made according to the genuine movement, the best looking AP Calibre 3126 Movement Clone at the moment." or "New Slim Asian Chronograph movement running seconds at 6 position, 1:1 same thickness as genuine movement (IWC Calibre 79350). Much more reliable than the previous A7750 modified movement. But still they break down fast. The TDs description of the watch is as it is good quality. Shouldn´t we trust the trusted dealer, trust that the quality is good when said so in the add? Isn´t that why they are trusted? Not everybody have the time to study and read like they are running for a bachelors degree in watches, but just want to find a dealer to trust, to buy a watch or two that they like, without the somewhat high risk of watch-collapse after a short while.
Trusted dealer does not = 100% perfect rep with all working parts and warranty.
Trusted dealer = they won’t rip you off. There are many sites out there that say Shit like AAA+ Swiss made replicas $1000 or whatever. You pay that and end up getting a DHgate special that costs $50. Trusted dealers will also help you out if/when it gets seized by customs. Most of them will do another shipment. Non trusted ones will not give a single F if it gets seized.
Trusted dealers also come on the forums and gives us updates on what is coming in the future. What all they are working on. Hell, some reps made it to market before gens!
Trusted dealers do not always mean the watch will work exactly like the gen version. They will break. You will sometimes end up with a dead watch. You can also end up with a watch that runs perfectly for years.
You can go but your quartz tissots or whatever. For me and a lot of us... we just like working on them. Modding then. Fixing them if broken. Breaking more stuff while trying to fix them and then fixing the new broken stuff.
For me, this isn’t a status thing. I could care less what people think about the watch I’m wearing or what all I have. I wear my watches because I either really like them or have worked on them in some way that gives me a bigger attachment to them aside from having a brand name watch that is considered luxury.
I’m not poor but I’m far from what I would consider being rich. I don’t drive a Honda Civic or a Kia whatever but I’d be more than happy to do while wearing what would be a $200k watch.
Trusted dealers are just that. You will get what you pay for. If you do end up with a dead watch, they will give you the option to send it back to get fixed or replaced but it’s rarely worth it when a watch repair on the forums would fix it fairly cheap and you won’t have to wait a year to get the watch back.
I would also recommend staying away from any 7750 movements. The only chrono reps I have ever owned have been the manual wind ST-19 ones. Those always have run without any issues for me. It sucks that you have to hand wind them but I kinda like that. You have to interact with the watch to get it running. It turns in a bit of a ritual imo.
Just stay away from A7750s and any SA3135 clones and you’re fine.
