The Top 10 Lies about Replica Watches
- Thread starter AllergyDoc
- Start date
There are at least 2 sites advertising their reps to be Swiss made. Their websites are very misleading, and very well done.
Just to point out, you are correct a helluva lot of sites are inaccurate, but that is a bit of a blanket statement, there is at least one TD on here who lists some watches as Swiss (but NOT Swiss MADE) and they do indeed have the original Swiss Movement.
I agree one has to do ones due diligince, but my point is not everyone is a scammer
That is why we buy from the TD's here I also buy from others, BUT ONLY if the TD's can't get a particular brand or model.

Nope. I dont think so. Years ago we discovered that we were getting clone ETA movements that were advertised as Swiss ETA. Theres a whole thread about it somewhere. Bottom line, none of the advertised swiss eta movements were swiss (and this included trusted dealers here). Because the rep forums and following was so much smaller back then it was easy for them to get one over on us. I for one have ALWAYS said that we were never getting anything that was actually swiss.
I find it very hard to believe that any rep manufacture would use actual swiss movements.

I apologise, I worded that badly, they are advertised as "Swiss" however, although I haven't had one apart I do agree they may well be fitted with a decent replica of the Swiss Ronda movement, therefore the 1/10th seconds and all subdials etc etc all functions as per the gen watch
I have had my 2 F1 swisses for a good while now, wear them a fair bit and they are working flawlessly
.Muchas gracias por la gran información, para un novato en el que todo es un mar de dudas, ¿cuál será el más vendido? ¿Será exactamente lo que me aseguras? ¿Qué puedo mirar para intentar no fallar en el control de calidad como novato? Tantas y tantas preguntas que uno no sabe por dónde empezar si en algún paso puedes creer lo que me estás asegurando sin serlo.
Como dije, muchas gracias por pensar en nosotros.

I keep tapping on the "OldeCrow's iink" and nothing happens...
Would you forward the link to me you referred to (the "Replicas aren't made on assembly lines" link!
Thanks,

This post debunking common myths about replica watches and helping to navigate the often deceptive world of replica sales. Your effort to clear up these misconceptions is greatly appreciated.
Nice post
Let's be honest - even on swiss made gens, a ton of the parts are from china, and even some of the parts are assembled outside of switzerland; I think there is only a certain % of work that has to be done in switzerland to have it called swiss made
