AlexanderHamilton 0 Posted December 8, 2015 Hey all. I am relatively new here and have been reading a lot about various watch replicas. I am debating between getting an AP rep or Cartier rep but I have a few questions before I do so. I appreciate any feedback. I am looking for a watch replica in the $300-$400 range and trying to stay near the 2824-2 movement (if applicable) and away from the 9015 movement because of a lot of reviews I have read. I prefer a watch that has a decorated movement to look similar to the real thing. I've done a lot of research on AP and their Royal Oak style watches. I currently found a Royal Oak Rep that has pretty close dimensions and a 2824-2 Asian clone movement on Trusty Time. http://www.ttw8488.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=241_246&products_id=14052 I recently got interested in Cartier as well but haven't done a whole lot of research on them. Any suggestions for what I should look out for? I was interested in a Cartier similar to this: http://www.amazon.com/Cartier-W7100056-Analog-Display-Automatic/dp/B00KAVZFFO/ref=pd_sim_sbs_241_3?ie=UTF8&dpID=51gt%2BxbdOzL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL160_SR112%2C160_&refRID=1P2RGV3HACCY0K10RE63 But the reps that I've seen are 2mm larger. Is that a noticeable difference? My main concern is that is it close to the real deal. I realize that no rep will be perfect (hence paying less than 10% of the real price) but would like the dimensions to be less than 1mm off if possible. I would like to not get called out. Again thank you all for the information on this forum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Martijn0007 3 Posted December 8, 2015 I dont know which things you've read about the Miyota 9015 but they're in my experience the best movements found in reps. I'd take a 9015 over a 2824/2836 any day of the week. Go for this one: http://www.torobravo...product_id=1779 Measurements on TDs website are all over the place. I'm quite sure that the Calible is 1:1 in case size. If you read 44mm, it probably includes the crownguards. http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=75_150&product_id=1481 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
