daveo 0 Posted July 24, 2017 Thanks for the replys found him through gumtree and he is from the aberdeen area seems quite helpful but after joining this site you start to read whats is what. perfect clone has a few nice ones and they seem to be highly rated trying to choose between chrono and non chrono in the same model like them both so i thought the movement may decide thanks dave Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wdev 0 Posted July 25, 2017 Nice watches. That 43,5mm looks quite allright Good of you to conclude not to take the Gumtree route. Either the seller is scamming or he is dumb. In both cases you dont want to deal with such. Good luck on the search (it is the best part :D ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveo 0 Posted July 25, 2017 yes i am 50/50 on them, not sure if i should go for the chrono or not are these clones that good that you would have to take it off your wrist for someone to tell that its a clone what gives them away visually Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Genius 281 Posted July 25, 2017 yes i am 50/50 on them, not sure if i should go for the chrono or notare these clones that good that you would have to take it off your wrist for someone to tell that its a clone what gives them away visually No one's ever gonna tell with any of them whilst on your wrist Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
daveo 0 Posted July 25, 2017 Thanks that's good enough for me, ok so lets start with the movements whats the best as i think i read in one of the posts that you don't get swiss movements or they are refurbed Nickle Plated Swiss Eta 2824-2 Automatic movement, 28800bph, 25J, Decorated Insignia Rotor, All Markings of Omega 8900 Calibre Present Asia 7750 Automatic Chronograph Movement , Functional Chronograph, 28800bph ,Modified with Original Calibre 9900 Bridges and Engravings At the end of the day its a watch and i want it to be reliable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wdev 0 Posted July 26, 2017 Almost all Swiss are refurbished and have Asian clone parts im them. That wouldn't be my choice. Save some money and go for Asian ETA clones Asian hi-beat ETA clones are mostly very good. I never had problems with mine. Don't have experience on A7750 though GL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
golfa 0 Posted July 26, 2017 Just had an "interesting" experience with Perfect Clones. Ordered and paid for a watch. I was sent some Quality Control pictures and it definitely wasn't same quality as the one in the pictures on the website. The pearl on the bezel was touching the bottom V of the triangle (which after reading threads on here, it's an issue with early models) and the watch movement was different. When I said I wasn't happy and pointed out both those differences, the reply I got was that he'd sold over 200 of those watches and no one else had complained. And somehow it seemed as if it was my fault I didn't like what he was going to send me. Now I don't know about you but if you advertise something with pictures, that's what I expect to get. And as a parting shot, he made sure to tell me that in order to send me some pics of the watch he was going to send me, he had to pay for it first. Do I care that he's now stuck with a dog of a watch ? Hell no. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do I care that he's now stuck with a dog of a watch ? Hell no. Nothing like hijacking a thread with your third post.... As to the above ^^: The TD's buy on spec for clients (us). My TD has me pay in advance, and if a watch doesn't meet QC she just goes back to the market to exchange it with another until it's right.
