  1. No, the Asian 7750: http://pure-time.com/product/pam243-m-noob-maker-11-ultimate-edition-on-rubber-strap-v2-a7750/

    Or the first 4x here: http://pure-time.com/category/blancpain/

    Or this hublot: http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=34_70&product_id=1092

    You have to compare them with the original and make up some knowledge on movements and finally take the responsibility to choose what you want by your own.

    Cheers.

    You must be a watch master:-)you know everything around watch.
  2. Hi guys,

    Finally I got today this piece: http://pure-time.com/product/submariner-116610-lv-green-ceramic-v5-11-noob-best-edition-a2836/

    Iam not sure if I should be satisfied or not.

    The cyclop is to high. Could anybody here give me an advice who could sell me original mineral front glass including original cyclop?

    I dont have experiences with replicas.

    My question is: does exist any replica which looks really like original?

    I choosed a simple model from rolex but also this model doesnt look like original despite its simple.

  3. Hello again guys,

    I spent some time watching hublot replicas.

    I have next couple of questions.

    There are diferences in materials. For example: 

    Bezel: Black brushed ceramic bezel (not plated steel)

    What is better ceramic one or plated steel?

    Case: Full rose gold ceramic case (not plated gold but full ceramic in rose gold color)

    ceramic case or plated gold?

     

    Thank you.

    Wish you a nice weekend.

  4. Hehe and where is the catch I thing you can arrange a meeting with Marketa or other girls like she is:-) is nothing complicated.

    Iam lookig for hublot king unico magic gold. But I think this is a new collection so it will be replicated maybe some years later:-)

    Thank you all for your posts!

  5. Oh thank you very much. I am from the czech republic. Its a small country in the middle of Europe:-)

    I have to say now that Iam lost in all the types af movements.

    Some watch has: asian 2824 clone 25J, asian 8850, asian 8850 valjoux?

    I think I can choose the watch according the type od movement, in case there are big wuality differences between them.

    I would like to know if they mean by asian 8850 and asian 8850 is the same or is different movement type?

    Thank you very much for important imformations.

  6. At this video it doesnt look bad...but of course there is quartz system so the hands are moving "electrically" but case and strap look good you think I wouldnt get watch like this?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6Qx_c00cBg

    And here this is Seagull..do you believa it is asian seagull or are they lying? http://www.purehorloge.com/hublot/hublot-big-bang-skeleton-tourbillon-ss-ceramic-bezel-on-black-rubber-strap-sku2750.html

  7. WOW!! You are asking about a books worth of questions right off the bat.

     

    First off, both of those sites you linked to are scam sites. You will pay those people big dollars and get a 50 USD junk street vendor quality watch, if you get a watch at all. If you want a replica, take mine and most everyone here's advice, buy from a trusted dealer on this or the other reputable Replica sites, RWI, RepGeek, or RWG.bz. If you want to donate your money, I can send you my PayPal address and you can send it to me. I'll put you on my Christmas card list and at least you will get a nice card every Christmas!!

     

    My advice to you sir, is before you buy any replicas, you need to do a lot of reading and research. There are lots of discussions here that will answer your questions. Here is my take on buying replicas and movements. The simpler the watch and movement the better chance it will be reliable. that is not a 100% guarantee, because these are replicas, and most of the movements are replica movements, which means that they are copies of ETA Swiss movements, they are not ETA Swiss movements. So if you buy say a Hublot replica with a copy of the ETA 2824 or 2836 movement it should be OK, As you go further up the line of complications, the more likely they are going to be troublesome. So the next in line would be a chronograph model which uses the A7750 movement. If you buy a chronograph with the seconds dial/hand at the 9 o'clock position, commonly referred to sec@9 , that is the normal position for the 7750 seconds hand, it should be OK as well. You will not get and ETA 7750 movement in any rep watch today. No matter what those scam sites tell you. ETA 7750 movements are hard to get and the price is more that 300 USD for a movement, so the rep manufacturers are not going to put a 300 USD movement in a 500 USD watch! So the next step up the line are chronographs with the seconds hand in a different position. These would be the Rolex Daytonas with the seconds at 6 (Sec@6) and the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak Offshore (AP ROO) models with the seconds at 12 (sec@12) . These are what we commonly refer to as "time bomb" movements because they have a history of problems. Some people say that they have had several watches with these movements with no problems, but personally, I have 5 AP ROO's, and three of them have been trouble free, and the other two have been nightmares. So, personally, until you get a little more experience with replica watches, and get to know people who can repair your watch if it breaks, I would stay away from these movements. Stick to the simple non chronograph movements or the watches that have the A7750 movement but the seconds hand is in the correct position (Sec@9)

    AFA tourbillion movements, I have no experience, never owned one, and I don't know of a single rep repair person who will work on these movements. I believe that Seagull makes a pretty reliable Tourbillion movement, but I don't think it is used in  rep watches unless it's the really high end  ones that are around 1k. Another problem with these, most of these watches sell for a couple of hundred thousand dollars, so are you able to pull one of those off. all it takes is one of your buddies to see your watch, Google Hublot Tourbillion, and partner, your busted!!! So unless you are driving a Ferrari or equivalent, or just flew in on your private jet, I would stay away from watches like the tourbillion.

  8. Both of those sites are scam sites. There is no such thing as a Swiss replica, or an Austrian tourbilion movement.

     

    If you actually got something even resembling what was in the pictures, I'd be shocked. Regardless, it would be made in China and with a Chinese movement.

     

    Go to one of the trusted dealers listed here and try to find what you are looking for.

    Thank you,

    but where can I find trusted dealers here where I could buy any Hublot watch? Iam new here sorry for asking:-)

    Thank you, 

    I appreciate such a long answer. I think I udnderstand most of what you typed.

    But can you explain to me what does the first sentence mean "You are asking about a books worth of questions right off the bat." an whats also mean this:so are you able to pull one of those off. all it takes is one of your buddies to see your watch, Google Hublot Tourbillion, and partner, your busted.

    Thank you very much.

     

    And please, I ordered last week Ingersoll black skeleton model bison - this is also a kind of [censored] watch or is it a real company?:-)

  10. Hi and welcome. I have 2 of these and they are running fine for well over 1 Year by strictly following the rules. There are several about when to set the date, where to stop the chrono if it is used, non-winding etc. They are more sensible than other reps, meaning if You ding against something it´s not shockproof. While the urge is there to get a chrono as the first watch it´s better to stay clear unless it´s quartz, best bet would be to get a non-complicated watch with an Asian ETA first.

     

    Before You buy the A7750 in my opinion You need: other watches to wear; the contacts of a reliable watchsmith able to service it, few do, read in detail about how to handle the movement. Don´t use the chrono is easily said and only use it when the watch is on good power-reserve (which means wearing it for 2-3 days as it shouldn´t be winded) but once You get it "You need to try it out just once or twice or....." You get the idea.

    good idea

    Thank you for the wealth of knowledge and the willingness to share it! Greatly appreciated!

    .....

    I have a few with A7750 movements as well as three with ETA 7750's. I have two AP ROO's that have been serviced by Domi with  the jewel mod. I wind those every time I start wearing them if they have been in the watch box for a few days and are completely run down. Also my Tudor BB which is genuine, and another Tudor with and  ETA 7750  and a DW pre Daytona with an ETA 7753.  I do wind then more slowly and carefully than I would an ETA 2824.

    An important rule to remember is when setting the date, best to have the hour between 3 and 9, I usually set the hands to 6:30, set the date, then set the time. This is also and absolute rule with an ETA 2893-2 GMT movement as well as the 7750, both a 7750 and the ETA 7750

    Hi Group,

    I read a report on rep movements from the perspective of a watchsmith. I'm interested in a Tag Carrera 43mm chrono with this movement. His comments on this movement are below. I was looking for input from those that have watches with this movement. I realize $300 isn't a ton of money, but I was hoping the watch would function normally for 3 years at least. Are my expectation unreal?

    Thanks!

    Jon D.

    "7750's with chrono function, seconds @ 9.

    I get quite a few questions about these and heres my view on them. They are a decent movement, even more so for the money they cost. The issue with them is they are also the dirtiest and incorrectly oiled of all the reps I see. I dont really know why this is but they are never done well. Sometimes I am amazed they have even run at all before they arrive on my bench. My honest opinion is if you are buying one of these you really should factor into the price the cost of having it serviced or buy it with a view that it might only last a few months and you will need to buy a new one or have it serviced then. I know theres exceptions to the rule and some people have bough asian 7750's that have run out of the box for years, but then someone has to win the lottery! In honesty there probably is a fair few that last quite a while but its all down to luck I can assure you. The movement as is from the factory is poor at best. One other issue to mention is hands, on quite a regular basis I have to do something with these. In an ideal world I would just fit new ones but unfortunately I dont have a supply of rep hands on tap so have to make do with what I have. Very occasionally the hands cant be sourced and the only option is a new one although this is rare. The main issue being the center seconds. The hammer slams down onto then heart pretty hard when you reset these and if the hand isn't fitted tight to the pinion the possibility of it slipping is high. This is often what has happens if your hand isn't resetting to zero anymore. Even once serviced I recommend using the chrono sparingly if at all, used as a watch to tell the time alone it should be a fairly good time keeper."
