Maxim Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 This is a thread into an area not ventured by many people. Most modern manufacturers prefer to stick to automatic movements, so having acquired a 7750 movement, as well as ETA and 21j Autos, the space in the winder is getting limited. I have tried to scower my way through the replica kingdom for good quartz reproductions and all that appears to be visible is the knock-off reproductions of automatic reproductions of automatic models. The only good quartz reps I have seen are the Indy 500 and the Tag F1. I am looking for a good quartz beater, and looking for any advice. I know that Rolex released Quartz models previously, are there any others which are available? All the best Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

szvwj Posted March 23, 2009 Report Share Posted March 23, 2009 I've purchased 3 watches from WatchEden. I had an issue with one of the watches (the wrong version was shipped to me), but WatchEden worked everything out to my satisfaction.

Newdoc Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 wont quartz reps lack a sweeping second hand, though, making it a dead giveaway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxman Posted March 27, 2009 Report Share Posted March 27, 2009 wont quartz reps lack a sweeping second hand, though, making it a dead giveaway? This is true but does anyone realy care/notice? Example.... When was the last time someone looked at your watch and questioned the movement? The truth of it is 99% of the general public could care less about someones watch. This has been my experence. The few who you might run into who like watches probably know nothing or very little about movements. Remember that this community makes up only a small part of are socitey as a whole. Most people that I know wear a watch for one reason, to tell them the time of day. Some use there dam cell phone. I dont think It will ever happen but lets say someone looks at my watch and says " Ohhhh thats a quartz, must be a fake" My reply would be " Indeed it is, thank you very much" I have never had someone question the authenticity of my watch. Im not saying that could not happen. But the chances are astronomical. I like my quartz watches as I like my automatic/self winders. I say " if you like the watch, get it", no one's going to realy care/notice. Imho Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you see Kay Posted March 28, 2009 Report Share Posted March 28, 2009 Go to Trusty's site and type in the word "quartz" in the search field. You'll end up with over 600 watches to look at. I have two quartz reps, only because they have no seconds hands so the rep can pull it off. The only quartz I would mildly think of is the Omega Seamaster Pro. But there is an automatic version of this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
