Hello everyone, this is Steve and I'm back. This time we bring you a comprehensive comparison of women's models. Although male friends are the majority of this forum members, there must be a certain number of female friends. We can't only focus on the comparison of male models, take care of you female friends and bring more comparisons of female models would be necessary. This is not only convenient for beauties to choose, but also allows guys to have more references and selections when choosing watches for their wife or female friends. Well, the customary opening remarks should be over, let's get into the topic and started. Front Dial View Natural Light View View Under Light For the overall appearance, YF is doing very well. The gold-plated color of the case is well controlled, and the color difference is already very small, but there is a slight difference in the center of the dial. The spiral pattern of GEN is a silvery texture which is more clear and three-dimensional, while YF feels a little obvious, their spiral pattern lacks three-dimensionality and the color is white. Bezel Side View The front width and side width of the bezel are basically same as GEN. If you have to pick out a thorn, it is that the gap between the bezel and the case of YF is slightly larger, no need to care about this too much as it might related with watch batches. Crystal Side View Same as GEN, the crystal edge of YF is chamfered obvious, the slight disadvantage is that the crystal transparency of YF is little worse through the side-by-side comparison of the real watches. Markers View There is no problem with the shape and size of Roman stick, the edges and sharp corners are chamferred sufficiently. However, except for ''I'', the letter spacing inside of YF stick are not well controlled, they are slightly oversized. Spiral Pattern View in Central Zone As mentioned in the beginning, the spiral pattern of YF lacks three-dimensional, from this detailed comparison picture, we can easily find the main cause is that the surface of spiral pattern is too smooth which makes it not obvious enough visually. Mimeograph Font View The difference in mimeograph is obvious. GEN is more regular and three-dimensional overall. In such a high-definition view, YF is a bit sloppy, but this is not a big problem. The main reason is that the swiss made font at 6 o’clock is obviously smaller than GEN. Hands and Middle Axis View Compared with GEN, the leaking part of YF middle axis is handled rougher. The welding marks are obvious, this is also a routine operation. After all, except for several popular models of top factories with delicate handling, most factories have same operations like YF in this part. Diamond Close-up View Whether you look at it from a distance or close-up, the difference in the brightness of the diamond is still very obvious. After all, YF is made of zircon, and GEN use real diamond, no need to care too much of this part. YF mainly has two problems, one is that the cylinder carrying the diamond is too short, and the other is that the height of the internal diamond inlaid bit low. Calendar Window View No need to worry too much about the slight difference in window section width, at least YF had done the hierarchical processing of sections as GEN. YF is a bit stingy for the calendar font, The date 18th of GEN is just like a strong 18-year-old boy, the font is very thick, YF seems to be stunted and too thin. Crown Side View The shape of the crown is exactly the same as GEN, including the diamond-shaped polishing on the outer edge. However, the color of the sapphire is slightly darker. Case Side View We can see from the first two pictures that the crystal of YF has fish-eye bubble lines, which is also the reason that the crystal is not so transparent like GEN. For the overall shape of case side, there is no big problem. If you look closely, you can still find that the curvature of the lugs is a bit different. We can notice the lugs of YF is a bit fatter by combining the close-up pictures of the lugs. Mainly because the upper edge is a bit higher, and the section of the lower edge is narrower, then the lugs looks a little different from GEN. Caseback View The lettering on the edge of caseback is quite clear, but the precious metal scales and the dog head logo are a bit sloppy. No more comments about the specific differences, you friends could find it by checking the pictures. Strap Details View The Gen strap is a later addition， so I can't do a comparison, but the YF strap is very nice overall with deep embossed lettering and thicker sides. Movement View The similarity of the movement on the back is very high. After all, GEN uses the ETA2892 movement, and YF adopts the corresponding Asian 2892 movement. In addition, the lettering on the automatic rotor is also very clear and regular, but there are some letters missing on the edge splint. On the whole, it's still a very good replica. Data Comparison View Note: All measurements are in a clamped state, and there may be tolerance due to slight deviations in the position of the caliper. Above are all the details of this comparison. In the last, I would like to say a few words. Although the YF Happy Diamond is not good enough in some details, the overall similarity with GEN is relatively high. For female models, We can’t ask too much for the details, not to mention that this model has only been made by YF all the time, so it is already very good that this model can have such a level. It is not excellent, but I think it is at least meet the standard. What do you think? Well, this is today’s post, thank you guys for watching, if there are any mistakes, please correct me. If there is anything else I overlooked, you can put it up, and I will try my best to do it complementary and comprehensive, welcome to comment and exchange. I will continue to bring you more detailed comparisons between replicas and GEN, which is for you guys to better choose your favorite replicas. (Note: Some photos deviate from the real object due to the angle of the light. The details are mainly written in text. The size of the comparison picture is relatively large. You can download it and enlarge it for comparison.) Thanks Steve. Website: https://www.theonewatches.io/ WhatsApp: + 86 17081934955  Email: Theonewatches.ru@gmail.com

Hi, I am new to this forum and I need a new movement for my Chopard Grand Turismo XL non crono. It has simple Asian 21J movement that fails to work properly and is beyond repair. Tried to service it but it simply stops after some time. Want to find decent replacement movement as the rest of the watch is pretty nicely done. Would clone ETA 2824 or 2836 fit? Or 2824-2 or 2836-2? Any other? And, where do you suggest I should get one? Any advice would be highly appriciated.

Chopard has released a new 42mm L.U.C. model - Time Traveler One, in three versions. I have to admit I like them all. I hope the makers rep the grey-blue one (first picture). Review

Hey! I just received my new Chopard Mille Miglia Gran Turismo XL 2008 Limited Edition. The first impression is very well. The weight is heavy (146g) and the size is big (44mm). I personally have a small wrist and have to decide if it looks foolish on my arm. So maybe I will sell it in a few days/weeks. But the watch itself looks great! The dials printing is sharp and clear, the rubber strap is soft and can be worn very well. Here are the first pics. The pictures are a bit dusty, but adequate for a first impression. If there are requests, I will take more and better pics next weekend. Kind regards from germany! DaMan

The mailman arrived this morning with the watch and a pen I get from Reg (Narikka). This is the first time I ordered a watch from Narikka and am pleasantly surprise by the service quality I received and the watch is pack in a Defenda Cardboard Postal Tubes. I've censored my address. Very clean and neat packaging. I like this more than the usual box packaging. Yes, I'm a very anal person. But these small details do make my day. The top have been stapled and secured. Defenda Tubes Took me quite a while to remove the staples and pop the tube. Once the cap removed, the watch and pen is wrapped in a bubble wrap and with a little effort pull out the entire content. Unwrapped the bubble wrap, reveal the Montblanc pen together with the Chopard in a suede blue pounch. Chopard MM GT XL Remove the item from the pouch reveal a securely taped watch. And I have to admit I suck at removing sticky tapes since young. Spend quite a long time trying to figure out where's the end of the tape. Traced and slowly remove the tape and revealed a watch inside a plastic bag. Remove the plastic bag and it reavealed another plastic bag! Just make me wondering how many plastic it gonna have? Finally removed the last plastic bag, and there the Chopard smiling at me. Isn't she beautiful? Accompanied with a bright yellow cleaning cloth nicely wrapped on the top strap! Unwrapped the cleaning cloth and the watch look so much better~ A far shot of the Chopard before I switch to my macro lens! Zoomed and focus on the watch face follow by the watch see through caseback back of the strap with a nicely engraved "Chopard" A nicely wrapped buckle (I'm not removing it at the moment.) The lower strap with the holes Some side shots of the watch head The crown of the Chopard! Macro Mode Now for the details and time to see some dust that is near impossible to see normally! And this is where it's going to be "dirty" Time to observe this beauty inside out! I've made a small video to show this beauty! <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/BiFQwFKaqe8" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Alright with these images, I think I shall put a beautiful full stop here! Thanks Reg from Narikka! These purchases from you are top notch and I really appreciate all the effort you put into this. You are easily the best dealer here in my opinion! Great! Look like I just found my preferred TD here! Thanks Buddy! Montblanc As for the rep Montblanc. I don't know much about Pen and this is my first time buying such luxury pen. Have been a pilot pen user since I learn how to write (maybe draw) So I just post some photos up and maybe you can help me or guide me how to shoot a pen or even appreciate a good pen! I will just throw the pen photos here Removing the cap The refill of the pen (Is the refill a rep as well? ) The star Some engraving Serial number?

Looking to buy a Chopard Millie miglia chrono, preferably with a white or grey face and stainless steel straps. Was looking at the chopard site and I really like the GT XL chrono or the GMT chrono. Does anybody know any good rep sites which have decent quality Chopards? Looking to build up my watch collection, I only have a couple watches so far and I really like the Chopards.. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
