tag Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Hi there, On different sites one can find Rolex replicas sorted by quality level (grades). Grade One replicas are supposed to be very similar to real Rolexes but quite expensive too (800-1000$). Check out the portal Replica Center (http://www.replicacenter.com) which rates replicas web sites. Here there is no idea of grading or quality. Everything is much more secret. Why is that, are sites like http://www.goreplicas.com just scams, selling Rolexes at 1000$ that we can find somewhere else at 200? AND how about other brands? Where can I find reliable, accurate, near perfect IWC, JLC, Omega or Panerai replicas? Is the market to small to allow different quality (and price) levels? Do we have to do with lower quality replicas or can you advice some web sites where I can find high quality replicas? Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 (edited) are sites like http://www.goreplicas.com just scams, selling Rolexes at 1000$ that we can find somewhere else at 200? In a word, yes. Except that we get MUCH better watches for $200 compared to the junk that goreplicas sell. All "grading" stuff is nothing but a big scam. Edit: I just went to the scam site you mentioned and they use pictures of genuine watches to promote their crap. Consider yourself lucky that you found this place. This was especially funny (their new LV Sub advertisement): "These are actual pictures of the watch! It is EXACTLY like the genuine 2006 Rolex Submariner Limited Edition" Yes it is. Because it's exactly the picture of a genuine Rolex Submariner LV. I even know the Ebay seller where they have stolen the pictures from. Thanks for the link (and laugh), haven't been in those sites in a while. Those sites would be almost funny if we didn't know how many people they rip off every day.

The piece of advice I was told: READ AND LEARN, WHAT'S POSTED HERE. And, they were right. I learn new stuff everyday. Next week I will order one or two watches from one of our dealers.

tmark Posted May 16, 2006 Report Share Posted May 16, 2006 Welcome, as a newbie I can attest that there is a huge amount of useful information on these and other forums (see links). As stated all those $900-1000 sites are con games. The recommended dealers on this and other hobbist forums have stood the test of time. My suggestion is look over the knowledge base, browse Joshua's web site, and trusty times web site. You will find these sites by going to the dealer section and following their links. There are several other quality dealers but these two have a broad selection and prices are posted on their site. This will give you an idea of what is available. As far as grasding Swiss AAA+ etc that is a crock. Read this artical for the straight scoop. http://www.replicawatchreport.com/articles...ch-grading.html Finally, if you want quality movement (the guts of the watch) take a look at The ZigmeisterZone on this forum. He reviews many of the popular movements so you can get an idea of what works for you. There are no easy answers but with a little time spent researching you will be greatly rewarded with your first purchase. My first purchase was from EddieLee and I am thrilled. So much so I have ordered three more! Good Luck and Welcome mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tag Posted May 17, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2006 Looks like you guys don't have the answer either. I'm not new to RWG but had to recreate my account in the new site - anyway I've done some research already. Just check out http://www.replicacenter.com and you'll have a completely different view point. And in a sense they are right : one cannot expect a really high quality replica at 200$. If anybody is able to help, that is to explain the difference between Replica Center and RWG, thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't want to listen to advise, so be it! Go buy youself an AAA+++ super swiss grade 'better than original' rep for $1000 from one of those sites.

That way other scam sites lose business, and any "good" sites they hear of can be labelled a scam. Why pay $1000 for junk when u can pay around double that for a used R*l*x? Do some research and find out about replicacenter... why would u believe them to be honest? Why believe anyone in this "business" to be honest? You have to make up your mind, and if you believe the spiel of replicacenter and want to go with their recommendations, that's your decision and your loss.
