  1. Mr Bond it's time to buy a GEN!

    in The Omega Area

    Posted · Edited by JBond

    Hi everybody!

    Finally it's probably my time to buy a GEN! I have for project to buy a gen (in 1month...) but I'm really not sure about the model I really want...

    I have a SMP replica Bond model. That watch was one of my dream. I love the PO 45MM with rubber strap but I don't know what is better between the PO and the new SMP.

    I know, choose a watch is a very personal thing but I would like your opinions!

    so:

  5. Lies About Replica Watches

    Damn, that list is out-of-date. I'd guess it's pre-Big Bang and definitely pre-SOSF

    Sorry, I don't know nothing about Breitling that true!

    Why did you post this ?? These "lies" while mostly true, are definitely outdated like pug said... as for your comment.. "what is sosf?" .. i had to laugh

    Why I post ? In my opinion that info was good for everybody and not outdated for all replica watches. You had to laugh my friend? Please do it because I'm a newbie and I don't know everything about replica... but YOU, YOU are the MASTER and you know the true about replica! Many thanks to you master jedi you change my way and make it better.

    Not really long time,but it was written by 'Allergydoc' a year ago,and is a sticky on most of these forums,was copied by this dude in question.....

    I never said "I wrote this article". I found the article on the web and I post the link! Common guys!

    My question is: Why are you so agressive with me? I touch what? YES that true we buying replica and replica aren't good as true watches, but that the game. But I don't understand why people are so agressive. The only thing I know is about Omega watches and poor things for other brands that true. So I'm SORRY to touch people. This "lies" aren't right? If you have knowledge to say that, please explain why that "lies" are false! That more interesting for everybody!

    Thanks!

  8. Lies About Replica Watches

    10 lies about replica watches

    Lie #1: The best replica watches are made in Switzerland, followed closely by Italy.

    -- This is the biggest lie of all. All replica watches are made somewhere in Asia, mostly China. Saying that replicas are made in Switzerland or Italy is a lie intended to extract more money from the ignorant.

    Lie #2: Replica watches are graded according to quality. C (or whatever) is the lowest and AAA+++ (or whatever) is the highest.

    -- Who decides what is "C" and what is "A"? The "International Replica Watch Governing Board"? Pure nonsense designed, again, to get more of your dollars.

    Lie #3: The movements in "Swiss made" replicas are identical to the genuine watch movements. 27 jewel movements are the best.

    -- (See Lie #1 for "Swiss made".) Far from the truth. Very few replica watch movements come from anywhere but China and any watchman can immediately tell it's not genuine. There are no 27 jewels movements in replica watches; only 25, 21, or 17.

    Lie #4: The best replicas are 99% true to the genuine and will even fool an Authorized Dealer (AD).

    -- Not true. While some may be close (picking a number is impossible) to the genuine, all replicas are flawed. Do you really think you can spend $200 or less and get a watch that's 99% identical to a $4,000-20,000 watch? As for fooling ADs, maybe. Common clerks are easily fooled, but seasoned ADs, upon close inspection, will know it's a replica.

    Lie #5: The gold on "Swiss grade" replicas is much higher than on other replicas. The crown, bezel, and mid links are solid gold and the full-gold replicas are 5-wrapped (or 6-wrapped, or whatever).

    -- While a few models have been shown to have solid gold mid links (Rolex replicas), the rest of the watch is gold plated or double or triple wrapped gold. ("Search" for threads on how this is done.)

    Lie #6: The best Rolex replicas are made with 904L grade steel.

    -- Big fat lie. Good replicas are made with 316L quality steel. Rolex is the only company that uses 904L steel and it costs 3 times as much as 316L (one reason why they are so expensive). Replicas are not made with 440 steel, either.

    Lie #7: Buying a replica watch is risky, but not if you use sellers from "Replica Review" sites.

    -- What most people don't know is the "review" sites are owned and operated by the people who run the sites they recommend--it's very incestuous. These "review" sites are clever and it's easy to get taken in by their lies.

    Lie #8: You can tell you're getting a good watch after a thorough examination of the web site.

    -- Please. If you think everything displayed on the web is true, you deserve to be fleeced. Scam sites lie about everything, from the quality of their goods to their pledge to make sure every customer is happy. Many even post pictures of genuine watches, (Look for pictures where the watch hands are set at "10:10." Pictures of genuine watches seen in advertisements are always set to "10:10.") but send you junk.

    Lie #9: Picking a good seller will always result in getting a good watch, one I won't have trouble with.

    -- We wish. Quality control in replica watch factories is hit-and-miss, but mostly shoddy. One batch may be great while the next produces watches that are DOA. (Remember, making replica watches is illegal, even in China. Replica watch "factories" are usually small operations that can be easily moved or hidden from prying authorities.) What is true, though, is a good dealer will want to protect his/her reputation and will fix whatever is wrong.

    Lie #10: Paying by COD is the best way to get the cheapest price. Plus, I can examine my watch before paying the courier to make sure I get what I paid for.

    -- A really dumb thing to do and a huge red flag that you're dealing with a true scammer. They want cash because they know you'll scream foul to your credit card company the moment you see the junk you just paid $1,000 for.

    One final point. Remember, replica watches are counterfeit goods. While it is not illegal to purchase or possess replica watches in most countries, it is illegal to sell them. Keep this in mind when using PayPal or communicating with credit card companies.

    Does the Sale of Replica Watches Sponsor Terrorism

    There is prevailing rumor floating around the Internet about replica watches. Somehow the replica watch industry has been linked with world-wide terrorist organizations. Being involved in the replica watch industry now for over 5 years this would be news to me. To my knowledge there is no more of an identifiable link between replica watches and terrorism than there is between Iraq and weapons of mass destruction. Both ideas are constructed "facts" by a regime hungry for support of their policies.

    Replica, or "Fake", watches have been with us since the technological revolution in Asia in the late 1970s. Given access to industrial equipment and seeing the weakness in their governments to enforce trademarks of foreign nations (or their ability to look the other way) many entrepreneurs have sprung up to feed a need. Replica watch makers have produced literally millions of fake Rolexes, Panerais, Omegas, and dozens of other top-named watch brands.

    Working on "off-shifts" in factories that would normally produce legitimate goods during the day these replica watch makers produce counterfeit goods of varying quality. Looking to sell cheap $20 souvenirs to curious vacationers? Watches can be produced with low quality (and low price) materials to meet this price point. Selling to the burgeoning "Swiss Replica" market in the United States and Europe? Then the materials and manufacturing methods go up a notch because of the higher margins.

    The people are motivated solely by replica watch industry

  21. Is it Om"ee"ga or Om"ay"ga? Bond says Omeega

    Actually there are 4 Official languages in Switzerland: German, French, Italian, Romansh. So you can't say that any way of pronouncing the word Omega is more correct than another. You just pronounce it in your native language

    like you were pronouncing the greek letter Ω, that's it.

    More people in Switzerland speak French than other languages and Omega brand come from the French's part of the country.
