Cartier Ballon bleu men 42mm

[bolboltn]

Hi everyone,

 

I'm new on the forum.

I'm BEN 29 years old from France.

 

I would like to buy a 1:1 Cartier ballon bleu rep of the W69016Z4 model.

 

 

I'm hesitating between 3 replicas:

 

Two from Angus (PureTime)

 

(sorry I can't post hyperlinks)

 

1) 388$ model

Ballon Bleu SS on Black Leather Strap ETA2824

 

2) 288$ model

Ballon Bleu SS on Brown Leather Strap ETA2824

 

What's the difference between the 2 watches considering they have same movement Swiss ETA-2824-2 and one has brown strap and the other black one? Why this is difference in price?

 

and one from Josh (Perfect Clones)

CARBA00088A

 

Which one has all the known flaws corrected like: colors of hands, non-connection between the numbers 8 and 9, The word Cartier on the number 7 has gaps, The word Cartier, Automatic and Swiss Made are a little thin, date fonts...

 

So i need your help.

 

Thanks for the advice.

 

PS: Of course, i'll buy a gen strap. I really need a like gen replica because i will not mod it and i will offer it to my father for his birthday.

 

Cheers.

Thank you Mike for your reply.

I will ask Angus about the difference.

But i'm wondering if josh and Angus have the same factory for this model?

if so, Josh is 30$ more expensive than PT.
