Lee Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I know there are made in places like China. But where do they get the originals to copy. Do they buy them and copy them or do it from pictures. Because these reps now a days are almost as good as the originals. Any info would be appericiated.

fitmic Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 I guess a dealer/factory buy the real thing and then replicates it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 In some more recent cases, they do work from a genuine, but in most, they work of photographs which is why some dials are wrong and cases don't take genuine parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Most use blurry pictures taken from ebay. They start out with a hockey puck and a vice. Then file down solid steel to the desired shape. Silicone and epoxy to assemble the finished parts and a little mop and glo for the perfect shine.
