robpatte Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Okay folks, I'm in the market for one of these bad boys. Had a bit of misfortune with a M2M sale recently, but I loved the look and the size on my wrist. So I'm gonna go straight to a replica dealer. I've heard lots of good things about PureTime, PerfectClone and Kuvarsit. All are more or less the same price, although some offer water resistance, some offer a Swiss movement, some a leather strap, some rubber etc. TOO MANY CHOICES!!! What's the verdict on these replicas? I'm interested in any experiences, good or bad. Which replicas are closest to gen, and any I should stay clear of? What should I look for if I do go down the M2M sale route again? Thanks R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 The only really gen-like BR is the BR 03-88 that has Toro. 1) it comes with the box and documents and 2nd strap and tools to remove the strap 2) it has the real gen movement (an ETA analog-quartz) 3) it has the correct lume color (which is aqua, not green) Only 1 flaw: the 4 little screws on the dial that on the gen are black and on this are SS. But they can be fixed easily. Only 1 problem: damn expensive... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GenTLe Posted August 29, 2014 Report Share Posted August 29, 2014 Back to topic: all dealers get the watches from the same factories, so not really a difference... Choose your dealer and ask him to source the watch. For a watch like that I'd go with Sead (Supermirrors, no site, working only by mail and/or PM) or with Trevor (Trevor watches). PS: don't believe in "swiss" movements. That's just marketing, unless very few companies (like Noob) or movements (like Sellita) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
