Thanks to each of you, I am glad to have found this forum since there is so much trash out there. Your comment about a "mystery source" is what gave me doubts from the beginning. I have a lot to learn and look forward to researching this forum often.

I have now found old posts regarding bestswiss, your response while hostile was very helpful, so thank you.

I certainly agree it seems like their prices for what they call "Grade 1" and "Grade 2" appear inflated by a few hundred dollars, although the Grade 1 claims to be 904L stainless which I haven't seen used from other dealers. I requested and received many pics, including internal, of one of their so called "cloned" models, the new Deep Sea. These are the ones described as undetectable from a gen (and also a significant increase in price over a "Grade 1"). I am by no means an expert with Rolex, but the pics are convincing. I would be happy to e-mail these pics to anyone more knowledgeable who wishes to see them.

Hello all, I just joined and am new to the world of replicas/clones. I have been collecting watches a few years, and am intrigued with the quality of some of what I am seeing. I tried a few searches without luck, so forgive me if this has already been asked. I am aware of a forum favorite dealer (Andrew) but few others. A few days ago I came across www.bestswiss.com and have had many conversations with Tom, who has been very helpful and answers questios immediately. He offers 1:1 clones (primarily the 2011 Rolex models but also around 100 other models of various brands), which he says are indistinguishable on the inside and out and use all the same parts, including 904L stainless on all pieces, etc. However these clones are all $1,250, compared to around $800 for his "Grade 1 replicas". How would these clones compare to the Rolex offerings from Trusty Time?
