rolexer Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Hi all, I just recently bought myself a crappy SD replica from China. I didn't know that it was crappy when I bought it (paid ~14 euros for it) . I didn't know what was crappy and what not, knew nothing about watches. I didn't know that I was going to end up writing to a rep forum in no time. I had absolutely no idea that I would soon be "hunting down" a respected dealer and ordering a much better SD rep from him . So, little did I know what it would mean to take up a street seller's offer on a "cheapo watcho". I don't know that much more now, but hopefully a little, what you can get in a week's time of active studying, so to speak. I have found so many flaws in this rep that it makes me laugh already. But still, it's a nice watch for the price. So, enjoy the pics of a 14 € SD rep. I will post a new thread of the better one, perhaps it's a tad better. -Rolexer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nathanchorley Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 As you said, many faults, although for 14$ I have seen alot worse ! Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cht Posted May 16, 2009 Report Share Posted May 16, 2009 Now I can't wait for you to get a nice SD rep and compare them side by side. Seems like you would appreciate the nice SD rep and enjoy it if you can already spot the differences. Did you already order a SD from a dealer? Which one? Post pics when you get it!

Hi, I also can't wait. Well I ordered the SSD v2 from BK (who else!). I will make a nice comparative review of the watch when I get it . -Rolexer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noel Fleischer Posted May 17, 2009 Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 really- for that money you can't complain- looks ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolexer Posted May 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2009 really- for that money you can't complain- looks ok. True! I have given it a lot of wrist time, and I can't be bothered by the flaws at this point though. It's a freaking good looking watch on the wrist, and most people would be fooled by it. Actually the movement is most likely Asian21J, the ticks are a bit less than the 8bps, and it keeps good time too. TeeJay , if I don't get a sentimental attachment to the watch, I might just send it to you later. -Rolexer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
