Guys.. These new additions are very nice reps. The Chopard is of course the long awaited piece. Maker got the movements in and has released it. =) As for the Cartier Pasha SeaTimer... it will be released in SS Bracelet (I upload 2 days back) and now also available in Rubber Bracelet. Last but not least.... IWC Cousteau Diver Chrono will be the long awaited one.... Enjoy the new reps coming up.. These are real gems... =) Andrew

Guys What I can say about this after inspecting the prototype when I met up with the Maker is that this is going to be the ultimate IWC replica that will WOW you guys away. The things which are currently been improved: 1. Rubber Strap (Earlier version was not sitting too nicely on the watch) 2. The Lume Markers will be improved but as Angus mentioned, maybe it will not be as good as genuine. 3. The Dial color is SPOT ON. Double AR is very strong like the genuine. 4. The Case Back with the wooden hull with Glass on top of it is spot on also. 5. Last thing.... 2 weeks.... Let's sit out and wait. =) Have a nice day, pals.. ANDREW

It is 100% Real Ceramic. Thanks! ANDREW

Dear ALL Genuines are expensive because of the following: Price of a Genuine Hublot Ceramic Big Bang is USD7700 after discount in Asia. See the breakdown below: Movement: Automatic Hublot Caliber 44 (Base La Joux - Perret - 28,800bph) - Approx. USD500-600 Cost of Materials: Ceramic & Solid SS, Sapphire Glass and Synthetic Resin - Approx. USD1000 **Mind you, the Ceramic is expensive** Cost of the Design Work done: USD1000 (Estimated amount per watch after division) Cost of advertisement: USD3500 (Approximate advertisement value per watch) PROFIT on each watch: USD1700 per watch Where does most of the money go? The MARKETING of course.. Models to model the watch, Magazine advertising, TZ ads...etc Ask yourself this simple question... without the advertisements all around, you think the Big Bang will be so popular.. This is what happen in Asia for ROLEX. Their ads are all over the place. ROLEX is the king brand in ASIA. It has become a status symbol here in Asia.. you have a Rolex.. wow! you must be somebody.. LOL.. Cheers nice weekend to all Andrew

Hi... This was never repped. Only the PAM024 was repped in SS Case. The PAM025 is supposed to be in TITANIUM if I dont remember wrongly. =P Andrew

Buy all of the watches? You must be kidding. The dealer must be lying to you... The Maker makes more than 1000 pieces of those watches. How can anyone eat up all of the stocks? Andrew

I think you take it too far.... The word "[censored] OFF" is deemed to me as a personal insult. I will not go to your level with the kind of offensive language I did not even say anything about the restriction of movements resulting in us using the ETA Clone 2892. Why is there assumptions made all along? ANDREW

Edge If you think we have high margins, you are wrong... We dont! Here's the maths... normally Maker wants us to make 1000 cases. We can only take 500. So prices are higher for the cases. We make alterations along the way to a standard which we deemed good. We changed the strap 3 times before it was deemed OK. We spent 6 months on that and loads of money. If I said we didnt earn anything, I am lying to you. We earned some profit but not the SKY HIGH profit you said to be. I think you have taken this too personally and I wish to cut off any more replies to this thread. I have stepped in to speak to allow all to listen but many came in not to speak but to hurt in words. Andrew

I think you have been real rude to translate in that way. As I said earlier, a Swiss ETA 2892 cost USD200-USD250. Andrew

EDGE... You have no idea about reps. In the replica industry... for Swiss ETA 2892 movements, you need to order in advance (6 months) and pay the full amount first and it will only be delivered 6 months later. There is NO GUARANTEE that you will get the movements. I am not going to argue with you over this because you dont know about the replica industry in the first place. If you want, I can bring you there and you can see for yourself. It's no kid's stuff By the way, an Swiss ETA 2892 movement cost more than USD200 and in the range of USD250 per piece. You should know that it isnt possible to sell with that movement since you are an expert right? Andrew

You think making reps in small quantities is cheap... I will be bold enough to ask you: Why dont you make a replica of the Bell and Ross for me? Then you tell me the investment you need to put in? Thanks! I think I have said enough. Andrew

Experts? Wait till you step in China to the entire replica industry, then you will know a watchsmith who works on watches alone will never be able to learn everything that exist int he world of watches (Genuines or replicas ). Even my watchsmith friend who has been a watchsmith his whole life dare not say he knows all about movements and all because in the watch industry in China, there are REALLY TOO MANY THINGS - Movements, Straps, Watches and everything is really outta of the world. If you know Quartz... there are 100 different versions of Quartz movements all over. Even I myself is learning everyday on different ones... Just a simple topic on Leather Straps... there are tons of knowledge you and I can never attain... The entire watch replica industry is not what you think to be, guys. I used to think like you guys but once I step into this Dark World of reps, there are more to be learned and that humbles me whenever I meet up with the Makers. Their knowledge can put all of us to shame. =) Andrew

USD2 for that movement? If you can get that for USD2, I gladly buy 100 pieces from you NOW because the movement does not cost USD2 at all. I still have 50 cases which need movements so if you really can get them at USD2, please sell them to me. I dont mean to offend anyone but that movement is not USD2 and definitely also a 28,800bph movement. It was checked 100% to be a worthy movement. In China, this is know as the ETA 2982 Clone and I think Josh and I have said that many times and even have stressed that we did not advertise as SWISS at all. We only put as ETA 2892 all along and there is definitely no intention to cheat anyone. Why cant anyone appreciate the efforts in coming with this Bell and Ross that took pains to make and we had to pool in money to get this done with all the risks involve? Why dont you put yourselves in our shoes and think about this... Maker insisted we take 500 cases to start off and that was one of the biggest risks we have to take... if it doesnt sell, we can sleep with the cases and straps... =P Take a step backwards and ponder, guys... I think I have said enough... I dont usually say so much Andrew

HI ALL I will be the first dealer to reply. First of all, there is certainly no cartel group as what you guys mention. The watches are not only limited to us at all. Like I mentioned, it has been freely distributed. I just came back from Malaysia and was speaking to big wholesalers there who just got hold of the Hublots and Breitlings.. so no one is having a monopoly. Second, the cost price of the new watches are high. Why.. you may ask? Reason: Cost of ETA movements went up in the replica industry. They are very scarce now and with ETA moving their factories out soon from China, there will be even more worrying concerns on rising costs of movements. The Maker has also sold the watches at a high cost price because of the details of work done on it. It is the Forum guys that gave Angus input on the replica watches and in the end, Maker took pains to change this and that (e.g Hublot and Chronomat Evo and SteelFish), so all the costs of changes and special detailing brough up the cost. I can swear to you thats the truth. Lastly... go read what I posted in the Dealer Review (TrustyWatchguy)... raising concerns of IP authorities and also the customs problems surfacing real badly all over the world... I think I have said enough... Please appreciate what has been done Andrew

Its definitely not a customer, Richard. You should know I always turn things around with my Service. It could be a disgruntled person... not a customer Andrew

Dear guys I have been getting nuiscance orders from this person who apparently is playing a joke on me and I will appreciate if you guys can sniff this person out. Admin, maybe you can track the IP and see if it matches to any nicknames that surfs here.

Fake address and all... Will appreciate all help rendered. Andrew

This EXP 2 is taken from the best Maker of the Rolex SUBs and I can assure you that the Date Mag is the best you can get. Come on guys, i changed to a better Maker for this Explorer 2 and gosh... people are making noise... Doesnt anyone appreciate this at all? Think about this... why not buy from idealwatches.com since they openly declare that theirs is the BEST.. Thanks! Andrew PS: By the way, you should ask him to shoot the entire bracelet. The Rolex Logo on the bracelet clasp is the BEST in the replica industry.

Hi ALL currently website having some script errors. Will be up in couple of hours' time. Apologies for the inconvenience caused. =) Andrew

Didnt take photos for a long time. =P I will get some nice pics (will shoot them myself) tomorrow.. =) Rest well, guys! andrew

Hi ALL... Till today, most PANERAI reps with Dates arent good. Once look and someone will scream off his or her head calling it a REP. This is going to change... There is a Maker who is going to change the Panerai rep industry with the long awaited Date Font and Cyclops. NO PICTURES YET.... Soon to follow when I meet up my buddy, Joshua. There will only be a few dealers with this great stuff, namely Joshua, me and Angus and King. =) Cheers Andrew

...

Hi All... Apologies for the wrong picture. As you know my business practice that I do not scam customers. All who purchase will indeed get the Swiss 7753. If not, 101% money back. Thanks! Have a nice weekend Andrew
