Big Bang on 16cm wrist:

Nice, how do you find the strap. I'm not sure whether to go strap or bracelet

 

The strap was waaaay too long for my wrists so I had to chop it up to make it fit. Also, the plastic inserts at the end were weak. But the leather quality and feel was OK, for a rep.

 

Here's a 15300 on my 6" wrist:

 

Priceangels has a section with replica sunglasses.

 

Supermirrors has also listed a bunch of them.

Yes, WatchIV is a sister company to PA which they created after getting too much heat from selling replicas. Most of the brands are now listed on WatchIV instead.

It seems like they keep getting pressure from some brands; most of their Omegas have been removed. I updated the list to reflect this (down from 85 models to 16). 

most of the really cheap ones dont have working subdials.  Ebay and other sties that sell these tell you this up front in the description somewhere.  PA dose not seem to mention it at all.  They are decoration.  Thats fine but they should be up front about it.

It's true that their descriptions leave a lot to be desired. Remember that PA is not a dedicated watch seller, they sell thousands of items, from e-cigarettes to iPhone clones. I would recommend that you pretty much ignore their description and just go by their images.

However, if they are using images not depicting the replica that's pretty bad. I would avoid any item where the images don't appear to be taken in their own studio.

Also, some times they seem to switch out models for some upgraded or similar version. I once ordered a Timewalker replica, and while the watch I received was the same model I ordered, it wasn't exactly the same as the one in the images (the date wheel was different).

WatchIV has a bunch of them. None is very accurate, but might be usable for a test-drive considering the price (about $50).

…and now Price Angels has a New Years sale on all watches, 12% off with coupon code WATCH12OFF.

WatchIV has a New Years sale until Dec 31st. 15% off everything with coupon code YEnd15OFF.

There's a 24h Black Friday sale with 8% off the entire site going on now. 

 

Use coupon code: Friday8Off

Priceangels does have a working Black Friday coupon: Friday8Off

 

It gives 8% off on everything, including their reps.

WatchIV just posted a cheapie version of the black TwinFly.

 

Looks good for $41

 

I finished another update of the list and the total number of watches is now over 2000!   

Priceangels hasn't added anything new for several months, but WatchIV has taken up the slack and added over 200 new models during the past weeks.

Most are ultra-cheap reps in the $50 range, but some look pretty neat, and there are several recent models (like the new black/blue Rolex GMT).

To make it easier to keep up with the new releases I have added a page with newly added products.

As a result of all the new items, the list of unidentified watches has been growing. So if you recognize something listed there, please let me know and I'll move it over to the correct brand.

 

 

A sampling of some of the more interesting new models: Omega Planet Ocean Skyfall, Rolex GMT Master II 2013, Panerai Regatta & TAG Heuer SpaceX

 

 

People hated the keyless works even 100 years ago.
 
Check out "The Keyless Mechanism - A Practical Treatise on its Design and Repair" where the author complains about how a lot of keyless mechanisms suck. 

The movement is a PTS Resources L0802Z.
 

That's a neat looking movement. The watch itself is pretty OK, but those jewels on the back of the rotor look weird.

 

Here's another seller who has both gold and steel versions for $39: http://www.ebay.com/itm/300908222062

 

I highly recommend Amateur Watchmaking, it's the best book about this subject I have found so far.

I just updated the list again, and for the first time in several months they actually added a new rep:
 

 
 
It's a Panerai Ferrari Scuderia, and for $77 it's pretty hot looking imho. 

Are priceangels okay to order from?

 

They are OK to order from. I've ordered plenty from them, not just watches.

 

Note that shipping, while free, is rather slow (usually 2-3 weeks). So if you need faster delivery you should opt for the extra EMS shipping option.

Priceangels seems to have reverted back to their old prices, like they were before the December price increase.   

I'm not sure if it's a temporary thing or not, so I'll wait a while until I update the prices in my list. You can use it to check the price reductions in the meantime. They are pretty substantial; the popular PA PAM for example, which was over $100 is now down to $72!

I was wondering if someone could helpme, im trying to see the hidden items, and im loged in, but i can't see them, it's there any trick?

If you're logged in to your account at PA and can't access the hidden items you'll have to mail Priceangels and ask them to "fix" it for you.

Note that you can still buy hidden items by adding them to the cart via the link from the list.

You really have 2 choices either get a Manual wind version and have a watch maker freeze the 6 which could be expensive and hard to do or go quartz

Doesn't all the quartz version also suffer from ticking seconds at the subdial at 6?

(I have a quartz Moonie myself and I'm interested in freezing the ticking seconds.)

New site doesn't accept paypal. That's a pain...

 

Yes, that's why I'm still linking to Priceangels even if the watch is available at WatchIV as well. So you'll only be linked to WatchIV if PA no longer have the watch in question.

The thing that is bothering me now is the thick "Omega" text.

 

Indeed. This is a much worse tell than the happy feet imho. It's very noticeable, especially on the "O" and "E".

 

Here's a comparison pic with the gen:

 

How do you know all of these things?

 

There's a representative from Priceangels over at the RWI board who has been posting some info.
