I really wish you were right, but as a matter of fact a wholesale price of asian watch somewhere outside of China must be in excess of $40. I can imagine what you can get for such a price from the web site you have mentioned. What you pay is what you get. BTW the watch I have purchased from hotreplica still works
Well, I see the price of PAM111 at silix-prime.com is $225 or $240 (against $150 on hotreplica.com)
I found only wholesale dealers who sell cheaper than hotreplica.com if you buy a dozen or more watches. If someone sell one or two models for $99 and all the others for more than $200, average price nears to $200 (I mean Chinese movements only)
Anyway I am not going to by more watches from anybody in the nearest future, even for $10
Cheers
BTW I see that $150 is quite normal price for non-ETA reps. Most of "sertified" dealers may have a few watches for $99, but the rest of their reps are priced in excess of $200
Hi. I bought from them last year a watch with ETA for $400. The delivery lasts for ages (more than 4 weeks!!!). Well, I could get the same watch with non ETA movement for about $140.
The guys seem to be honest
Hi phild.
Just for curiosity, what item you bought from hotreplica.com? (They have article # such as RUS1234)
I purchased in 2005 from them Patek Philippe Calatrava with ETA 2824-2 (rus8904) for about $400. It still works. I remember it took more than 4 weeks to get the watch. Russian post service must be not so perfect.
