![]() Whether it is a £10 CASIO or a PATEK PHILIPPE GRAND COMPLICATIONS costing seven figures, I have never met anybody who actually cares which watch I am wearing, which brand it is or how much it cost when they want to know the time. The main purpose of a watch is for telling the time. I have worn many replicas for the experience on the wrist but always been upfront about it, never tried to pass it off as anything other than a replica it is before purchasing the real and original watch if the funds allow. not even come close with the quality, reliability or feel of even the cheaper Seikos, Orients, Hamiltons, Tissots etc. Even the best quality or most expensive of the replicas has never compared…. I agree with Christian and I feel his pain because I have also had dozens of replicas, some cost £20 others £850. COSC, top grade, Grand Seikos, Rolex you name it I’ve probably had it or a version of it. I have had scores of swiss, german, french and japanese watches and a few obscure others too. “Christian pretty shocked at your response. I tried hard, didn’t succeed, and that was that. Barry reported it dead on arrival, and I instantly refunded him everything he had paid me, including the postage back. I had the blighter working, and sent it back. After I got the movement going again (the chronograph blocked the movement), the central second hand touched the crystal, so I had to get the movement away from the crystal, and the second hand was terribly made, so when resetting it, it moved on its tube. I spent amost 4 hours on it, and it was an abomination. This week, I struggled with a particularly nasty watch, an AP replica, belonging to Barry. There is no warranty, no returns, and nobody cares. ![]() Build quality is very poor, as the manufacturers are never faced with their product again. Most of the time, I spend a lot more time than I can invoice, because if you touch one thing, the next thing breaks. ![]() I have repaired your watches in the past, mostly because I felt sorry for the poor things. ![]()
