Hey guys, I just got QC pics for my watch and being new to IWC, I wanted your help on whether the dial seems good,

perfect clone is pretty good, had no problems with them. They are very quick with emails and keep you updated

That's not bad at all.

Cool. I went with the 3717 in the end on a bracelet. Yeh I was thinking of getting the standard mods, like the lume, eta date wheel, maybe even a swiss moement and anything anyone else suggests. How much do these mods cost including parts and labour?

Ademarco, I mostly wear Cartier and so I thought I might give something else a try. I'll see how a relatively cheap (upto 350 usd) IWC goes and if I like it, I might opt for an expensive version as you suggest.

Could you provide me a link with the one you are suggesting.

Hi guys, Wanted your advice on which of these I should get. I have never bought an asian movement before so wanted to know how reliable and well replicated is the 3717 chrono: http://www.1-pc8838.com/iw02007-pilot-chrono-3717-ssle-black-asia-7750-chronos-28800bph-p-3065.html. If not, I'll go with the mark xvi, a swiss movement. http://www.1-pc8838.com/iw00110-mark-ssle-a2892-p-11755.html. Ive read that the dial writing is not great on this one though. thanks for the input

Cool

Is that a good replication of the original? Hmm so many choices. I already know what I want after this purchase, an AP ROO diver v3 when it comes out.

I'm actually thinking of getting the sea dweller (smaller than the sd deep sea ) because I have fairly skinny wrists. I just didn't know that they come without a ceramic bezel. I'm not looking to do any mods so I might just get the one I posted in the above link. Thanks for the education

My bad. Don't know a lot on SD, but they look nice.

Hmm I wish that one in the link I posted had a ceramic bezel. I would have got it. Do you know if they will b making better versions? Could you send me the link where it is reviewed here, can't seen to find it.

Is this seadweller any good http://www.1-pc8838.com/0rlsd00078-classic-dweller-p-11801.html it has swiss eta2836-2 movement. I can't find a review of it on here. What are the flaws with this one. Thanks

cool, its just that on puretime it says shipment is estimated to start at 31st march.

Has anyone ordered one yet, or infact received one? I'm looking to get one too.

Hello, I am looking for a swiss calibre de cartier watch, can someone point me to a TD that has one? I can only find this site: http://www.rwg.cc/links/goto/49-silix-aka-jay-and-angela/ But this one doesn't seem right. How can a swiss movement be only $258? it has to be an asian movement for that price. cheers

Thanks guys

So I recently bought a Royal Oak swiss auto with display caseback and I would say this is 85-90% of the original at 2-5% of the original price. The watch does look and feel like a genuine when compared to my genuine Cartier Tank and Tag Heur Careera. Its quite big for my skinny wrists, but hopefully I will grow into it. Here are some pics, let me know what you guys think:

yeh, the watches look overpriced too.

Thanks for the info. By the way, does anyone have info on the quality of AP 18kt gold plated reps? Whenever I've inquired about it, when buying one, I've been told to stay away from them. I was just wondering what were your experiences on owning one.

Hello, I am new to collecting rep's and have ordered my first AP royal oak, its a simple steel auto watch with Swiss eta ETA2824-2 movement. Anyway, my question is... how long do replicas (Swiss ones) keep "good" time for? and after how long will it require servicing? cheers
