Thanks for sharing your exp. But as you say, quality control in reps is inconsistent so... do you really get what you paid for? Instead of $500 wouldn't a rep cost you in average $1000, assuming a 50% defect rate? You seem to be happy of your rep acquisitions : can you recommend dealers? tag

I kind of feel the same. Reps is an illusion : the illusion that you can get luxury watches for a fraction of their price. Luxury is perfection and glamour. But what you get is far from being perfect and glamorous... I wanted to believe that it is very hard to distinguish between a good rep & a gen. After reading some serious reports here, it seems still not to hard to spot the fake. And serious rep owners often report 50% of failures. In some sense, it's like buying a second hand gen : I wouldn't like it either, unless it is almost new. I think rep producers should replace the mechanical movement by a quartz and focus on the case & design. Reps would look better, be cheaper and more reliable. It make sense to have a mechanical movement in a gen but not in a rep. If you know rep dealers selling quartz yatchmaster or PO please let me know... So now the question is : is it worth buying reps to choose the gen you really like? Or is it enough visiting several chops to try different gens before buying? Still hesitating between getting 1 gen or a bunch of reps, which will fail sooner or later and which I'll never consider as jewels...

Tanfoglio, It's not only the number but the quality... Some close ups are really good and I can see papers, etc. Are these all reps ! Please tell me who's your provider ! Tag

Hi all, I'm thinking of ordering 2 or 3 reps but I'm worrying about customs. Can one guess from looking at the box or the sender's mark that it is a watch? Also I have been said that controls in Europe are much tighter than in the US. On top of it if a parcel comes from abroad it is more likely to be checked. Recently I received a gift from Asia which passed through the customs. Does anybody have some experience to share? Is it safe to order from Europe? Thanks...

Looks like you guys don't have the answer either. I'm not new to RWG but had to recreate my account in the new site - anyway I've done some research already. Just check out http://www.replicacenter.com and you'll have a completely different view point. And in a sense they are right : one cannot expect a really high quality replica at 200$. If anybody is able to help, that is to explain the difference between Replica Center and RWG, thanks in advance.

Hi there, On different sites one can find Rolex replicas sorted by quality level (grades). Grade One replicas are supposed to be very similar to real Rolexes but quite expensive too (800-1000$). Check out the portal Replica Center (http://www.replicacenter.com) which rates replicas web sites. Here there is no idea of grading or quality. Everything is much more secret. Why is that, are sites like http://www.goreplicas.com just scams, selling Rolexes at 1000$ that we can find somewhere else at 200? AND how about other brands? Where can I find reliable, accurate, near perfect IWC, JLC, Omega or Panerai replicas? Is the market to small to allow different quality (and price) levels? Do we have to do with lower quality replicas or can you advice some web sites where I can find high quality replicas? Thanks in advance
