jfa657 Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 How many replica factories actually exist in mainland China and Tiawan? Do all of our beloved replicas come from two or three factories.? I am a fan of the stainless Rolex models and haven't seen much if any difference in the AirKings I have purchased from three of our favorite dealers.
ubiquitous Posted August 31, 2006 Report Posted August 31, 2006 Who knows. Hard to say. There may be several factories that exist, but aren't public knowledge for obvious reasons. The watches we purchase from our dealers may have all come form different factories of assembly, but the point of origin of individual parts and components may have been sourced from the same vendors...
Lollipop Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 A few (5-6) High end factories making watches for RWG and the mafia, and maybe another 100 factories making $10 Rolex Subs and DJs.
bkatbamna Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 No factories, just one little elf. That explains the same mistakes again and again
Watchmeister Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 To the best of my knowledge Lollipop is right. The high end PAM's seem to come out of two different factories,
coolfire Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 Well, the number of factories is beyond your WILDEST & WETTEST dreams my friend...
gran Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 the problem is not quantity ..but the quality...1 or 2 quality ones..maybe
guesswho Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 I know it maybe sounds a little odd but i'd really like to see photographs of some of the rep factories just to see how they are made.
guesswho Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 I'm sure the feds would too a ha good point
guesswho Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 im a n00b here tho, real world friend = lots and lots, which is far more important
gran Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 im a n00b here tho, real world friend = lots and lots, which is far more important sorry...n00b...welcome to rwg guesswho
shimside11 Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 My guess would be that the factories that make brands like Alpha and Apogaum, kids watches and novelty stuff, are into the rep game as well. There are alot of watches on ebay that look identical to our reps, but have a generic name on them. My favourite is the Alpha PO. As for the high-end stuff that we get, probably only a few have realized that there are freaks like us out there, and are rising to the challenge of meeting the demand. That's quite a risk to take - catering to pissy, demanding clients that are satisfied with nothing but the best. I admire their pursuit of this market, just the kind of client alot of people try to avoid
KB Posted September 1, 2006 Report Posted September 1, 2006 I used to know a guy who claimed all rep were the same Sounds like one factory to me Ken
