Hi, anyone knows how to choose proper strap for Chopard GTXL? I want to exchange the rubber strap and keep the original Chopard deployment clasp. How do I choose the strap, that fits the lugs and the deployment as well? Should be gator. Thanks for any suggestion.

Forget it guys, I have misspelled the word Gran (Grand) and therefore search was not very successful. But with proper spelling I have found enough reviews. Thanks. Anyway, anyone posting his own experience with this watch is greatly welcome.

Hi, anyone having Chopard Grand Turismo XL like these from Ruby? http://www.nicereplica.com/pro_detail.php?ProId=185 Is there any review of these watches? They are on "Best bargain under 150USD" list on second place, which suggests they should be good value for the money, but how about reliability of this movement? Fakemaster says, he is using this movement most and that he considers it the most reliable, does anyone have different opinion? Thank you!

This is going to be just another noob question: When I came here first, I wanted to search for a good place to buy Omega PO replica. After reading many many posts, I am on the edge - I fell in love with Rolex SDDS. I searched the forum and found out, that there is several places where to buy realy quality Rolex reps - WM9, EuroTimez, Precious Time, BK and maybe others I havent discovered yet. And now it is getting a li'l bit complicated: WM9 does not have the SDDS (altough he is preordering SD in I would say perfect quality), Eurotimez has probably some QC issues, although he claims he is workin on it, Precious Time has probably great quality, but also very high price. I am a bit confused. So, the noob question is: is there an ultimate place where to get perfect SDDS for very reasonable price and with unmatched QC? These noob questions will probably never stop appearing...

I hope Chris is going to comment on this, cauze I read his open letter where he was promising exact opposite - perfect QC. Where is the truth?

I've done some research and Ivicta pro diver seems to be a bit poor quality - at least there is enough evidence on different forums, that their customer care is nonexistent and when you run in trouble, they will let you down (actualy, some customers claim they sent watches for warranty repair, and not only got their watches back in the same broken state, but also damaged by poor servicing - scratches and cracked glass and so on...)

Thanks for very encouraging comment... Sorry for extremely noob question, but what is WM9V2 a where can I find it. I have found SeaDweller and it looks wonderful, I almost wet my underpants, but no one, and I mean NO ONE would ever belive I have bought real Rolex... And, to be honest, I intend to lie about UPO genuinity, at least for a while...

Thakn you automatico for your comment. Appreciate it. BTW, When I was looking at Orient watches here in Czech Republic, they dont seem to sell CEM75001M, which is a BEAUTY!!! (it is almost like Omega PO). I might as well consider them, but, on the other hand, no one will think I am wearing Omegas then, and with Omega reps, I might fool at least someone... Behold:

Thanks By-Tor for your comment. I also appreciate your guides you have written about omega replicas and how to get the best. Thank you. BTW, this is my point - I rarely put my watches under stress (when I go to the gym, I take them off, i dont swim with watches and I dont work with bush hammer either ), first thing I would do is ensure proper inspection by my watchsmith friend, proper oiling and seal siliconing, so I guess as far as they keep good time, there is not much risk involved for me. And I know it will never be genuine Omega, so maybe someone on the street will believe I wear a gen (hardly, ,if I buy gen, everyone will think they are reps), but I will always know it is a rep, so it is a bit spoiler, but I like the beauty of these watches, regardless if the beauty is fake or genuine. I like DaVincis paintings, I cant afford them, does that mean, I cannot put a copy of it on the wall? But this topic was about quality and if the quality of UPO with Swiss ETA is good enough to last few years, then I'm in...

I can see... I wish I could afford colection of gens (on the other hand, I already own a little colection, one Moeris Titanium watches and one Swatch chrono - both junk ). One advantage for me is that my best friend is very good watchsmith and though he is discouraging me from reps, I think I will give it a try - and my watchsmith is also curious to see some better quality replicas - most people bring him 30USD crap like breitling bentley replicas with quartz movement...

Wohoa Beautiful colection and very nice watches of both of you guys!

I have checked several automatic watches from Citizen and Orient in the 200GBP range and i must say that only Orient offers realy nice watches, but with mineral glass. I cant say just by looking at the pictures, but it seems to me, that the quality of craftmanship of UPO rep will be on par with these watches. Your opinion?

Excuse my noob question, but in what way will they be superior?

Area Sales Manager for major operational leasing company. Nice job, you get to know many interesting people from different economic sectors - everyone uses cars... Though a bit hard job nowadays, due to crisis in automotive sector and we have many automotive clients (for example one big car maker)...

Hello everyone, has someone compared quality replica (for example Omega UPO) to ordinary brand watches, like Seiko, Citizen, Orient or others in similar price range? How would they perform? Qualitywise, is it better to buy Orient for 200GBP, or is it better to buy Omega UPO for 200GBP? (sorry if this was already discussed here, but I cannot think of the right keywords to do the search...)

I still dont understand why you should love Czech Republic, and how is it connected to the fact, that you somehow got a hold of my girlfriends portrait...

Thanks for the tip, Andy, I might give it a try... :-)

Thanks Andy, never been to Karlovy Vary, but I can imagine what it was like at Grand Pupp, one of the most luxurious hotels in CR...

@ dluddy @ Wayward Thank you for the welcome!

My girlfriend (we are still not married) can have expensive life - she makes more money than I make... But I am an emancipated guy...

I am glad to hear that you love Czech Republic and for a while I was tempted to ask, what do you love about Czech Republic in particular? But forget it, every place in this world has some good and bad sides and I am probably a bit biased, cauze I have to live here (of course I could move somewhere else - I actually spent almost two years in the US and gotta say I like that country a lot...). Regarding the chess and photography: currently (and for all working fathers not surprisingly), my time is consumed by work, parenthood and then when there is some spare time, I spend it at the gym, so my chess and photography suffers from lack of time... Thanks for the welcome!

Hi, my name is Frantisek (Frank, Francesco, Francois - as you wish :-) and I am from Czech Republic. I work for leasing company, have one daughter (and three step daughters) and I like bodybuilding, photography, chess, Red Dwarf and Ali G series. I am more than impressed by the enormous amount of informations I can find here. I would like to buy some nice piece of replica, as I cannot afford to buy the real thing (with my girlfriend we are about to buy a house and that is a hell lot of money). Till now I was following the rule "what I cannot afford I do not need", but to hell with this, why should I bother with twinging conscience? I am going to buy some decent looking replicas and I will dream of some genuine Omega in future. Thanks to all of you, who spent the time writing all these useful infos and guides here...
