wiseman Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 I would guess they are manufactured in countries where trade-laws are nonexistant or very weak. My best guess is China and South-East Asia.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dizzy Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Yeah there are no reps made in Switzerland or Italy.. all marketing [censored]. There is no Grade A, Grade 1, "swiss case" 1:1 triple AAA.. Different factories make different quality replicas. Out of the thousands of factories there are probably only a handfull that make what we call "super reps". Thats why you stick with the dealers here on the forums, then you know what you're gunna get. They are all mass produced in Chinese factorys like ken says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orionz Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Some /expert/ tried to convince me, that the best reps are made in Holland Yes, sometimes if you don't know it's better to keep quiet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 You see this is why I'm starting to slowly abandon this hobby. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...02&hl=china http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...55&hl=china http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...29&hl=china http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...81&hl=china http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...68&hl=china http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...01&hl=china http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...23&hl=china http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...82&hl=china http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...32&hl=china http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showto...38&hl=china Do you maybe see a pattern?

RobbieG Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Not sure what you mean Corgi. Abandoning it why exactly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demsey Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 (edited) china. who else is better at reverse engineering? The Russians? But our rep Subs run better than their nuke Subs................. All roads lead to Rome. If there are any replicas on those roads, they came from Guangzhou. Not sure what you mean Corgi. Abandoning it why exactly? I think the repetitiveness of query, for the lack of the use of 'Search', on the part of the neophyte, is getting to him Robbie. It is a common affliction of the "Senior Poster". I suffered from it horribly on that other site to the point I didn't post regarding 'watches' for two years. But then you come back to it and things have changed a lot on the 'replica scene' and it's fresh again. "Breaks" and "Hiatus" work wonders. Not to mention you'll probably get around to repairing that fence. Edited January 22, 2009 by Demsey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
automatico Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 The best fakes really are made in switzerland... Switzerland Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 The best fakes really are made in switzerland... Point taken. I'm guessing however...that these "fakes" are fakes sold as gens for high profit...vs. the ones we buy as reps knowing full well they are not gens.

KB Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 Yeah these ones are true counterfeit's, if you could find them the price would be the same as the genuine's that's the whole point of the operation. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrgod Posted January 22, 2009 Report Share Posted January 22, 2009 The best replicas are made by a secret society which emerged from the ruins of the third Reich. They escaped to a hidden Nazi base in the Arctic where they have put to life their plan for World domination through mental infiltration through a secret substance in the watch bands of all replicas. I read it on the Internet so it has to be true.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
