concor2 Posted September 28, 2009 Report Share Posted September 28, 2009 I just found out about the replica market last week and have been reading ever since. This is an incredible forum by the way! I didn't know there was so much to know about watches! I looked at 2368 watches to be exact during the past days, every single one on timeshops.net in the 100-200 dollar market Anyway, after selecting about 10 watches I made my choice and fell in love with this Tag: TG6382 - Tag Heuer Carrera White Dial SS - JAPAN OS Chronograph MOVEMENT: JAPAN OS CHRONOGRAPH CASE DIAMETER: 40MM THICKNESS: 13mm DIAL COLOR: WHITE CASE MATERIAL: STAINLESS STEEL 316L BRACELET: STAINLESS STEEL 316L FRONT GLASS: MINERAL CRYSTAL OTHER: WATER RESISTANT They ask 108 dollar for it, but they have a deduct code which makes it go for 88. Being a total noob, I would like to ask a couple questions before I order, hoping someone who knows about watches could please take the time (pun intended) to answer some: - will it break in a week - how much 'off' will this japan os movement be, like 5 minutes a week or 5 a day - will all functions/dials work like they are supposed to - does this mineral crystal glass scratch quickly - could it really be water proof - is there perhaps a better shop to go to I understand I ask a lot, but I really don't know anything about replica's. Thanks in advance guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dudemeister Posted September 29, 2009 Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 - will it break in a week Not really, it will probably work for a fairly long time mainly because it's quartz instead of mechanical so there's less that can go wrong - how much 'off' will this japan os movement be, like 5 minutes a week or 5 a day A lot less than a mechanical watch. Probably less than a couple of seconds a day - will all functions/dials work like they are supposed to Depends on the movement, but most "japanese quartz" are based on a Myota S20, so the chronos should work. - does this mineral crystal glass scratch quickly Not really, it's not as resistant as Sapphire, but then again, it's not plastic either. - could it really be water proof doubtful - is there perhaps a better shop to go to Don't know.

concor2 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 Excellent Dudemeister. Thanks for the info! This all sounds pretty great to me! I mean, it's reliable, not that scratchy, the dials work, it's accurate, and well, probably not water proof. I'll take that last thing into account. As for the rest, sounds like a good quality watch that's looking great! Very interesting how far the repmarket is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
concor2 Posted September 29, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) Hey, thanks for the Myota S20 hint Dudemeister. I searched a bit more and fount the Myota movement overview: http://www.citizen.co.jp/miyota_mvt/download/ As the seller mentions the movement is OS or actually 0S, I looked up the 3 eyes clockworks and I think it is a 0S62 movement: http://www.citizen.co.jp/miyota_mvt/download/pdf/spec_0S62.pdf - Am I right? Great information there, very nice to see a manual. I didn´t understand what the hour hand did as I saw it never moving on youtube movies, nor how the tachymetre outer ring worked. So, thank you Dudemeister! You rule. Edited September 29, 2009 by concor2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
