koppite Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 Hello, I am new to this whole scene and was wondering if I could get some advice. I'm in love with the Alain Silberstein Krono Bauhaus and really want to pick up a replica. I've never ordered a replica before, though. A coupe questions. 1. Any recommendations for sites to order from? 2. How hard is it to tell it is a fake? I don't care at all but I'd like something at least close to the original. 3. Do the mechanisms work well for keeping time, do they crap out easily? Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kronos twin Posted July 31, 2009 Report Share Posted July 31, 2009 I think the Krono Bauhaus is fairly similar to the original. I own one and it's a solid build. Like the original, be careful how you treat the enamel on the sides. You don't want to chip it. My first movement died on me, but I got a replacement from my dealer. Fairly painless. it works fine now, and I've had it over a year. 1. any of the collectors here should have the same watch. Doesn't matter. It depends on who you like and who you trust. 2. I think I just answered that. 3. They are accurate, and the functions seem to work. To be honest, I still don't know or care about the smiley face function so I can't speak to it.

Oh man thanks so much. Just wondering, how long does shipping usually take for these types of watches? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
