Mary Watch 205 Posted January 17, 2017 for the IW356501, i think MK version is the best version in market, but i can't assure it is 1:1. maybe you need to do some homework if u want to buy a watch u like. check the pics of the watch on different TD website, and compare the difference. choose the one u like. Never expect a "gen" watch from the rep watch game. Good luck, guy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sogeha 6 Posted January 17, 2017 I think people just want you to be realistic. Some of my friends are into IWC and put genuine dials into rep cases. I think that suggests, they are not a bad copy. On the other hand even after factoring out a huge mark up for luxury goods, there has to be a quality difference between a purchase costing a couple of hundred and one costing a few thousand. There is also a difference between seeing macro pictures of a watch on a forum, with every tiny imperfection visible and what can be observed in real life from a metre or so away.

black263 228 Posted January 17, 2017 Don't buy a rep if you want perfection A rep and a loupe is a recipe for misery. I buy a rep because I like the look. Frankly,I couldn't give a flying fuck about 1:1 as long as it looks good and works well. One of my longest serving watches is a white faced AP. At the time it was an obvios fake from across the room with one eye closed as AP didn't make one with a white face. (Lare they replicated it so you can now buy a gen AP which is a copy of the rep) Pure fantasy as a replica but the only watch I've liked enough to spend over $100 buying a strap to fit.

Monkey_Business 0 Posted January 17, 2017 Oh, nichlas. I hope you get throught this ocean of flames alright :P I was treading in your waters last summer, but got off pretty easy. That being said, all the dealers here, sell the same shit. Just like your every-day "hood". There are marginal differences in pricing too. Find a watch you like, look for keywords like "ETA" and "1:1". (When our TD's write 1:1 it's usually good, compared to "other" sites who claims they have A+++++++AAA+aAA?a+ watches - But they are not 1:1!). Avoid cheap mechanical watches (Below 200$ I'd say) and stay away from A7750's as these are prone to break. You'll want one eventually though. If you stick around for a few months, you'll become a cynical member too, who can bash other newbs asking the same question. (Because, quite frankly, if we were to answer all of the similar questions it'd be a dayjob for many on here). It's the cycle of RWG! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wriggles 12 Posted January 17, 2017 You call this flaming? You haven't a notion. Clearly Plenty of good mechanical watches under 200usd. Super reps? Of course not, but perfectly good As for the 7750, again perfectly fine and worthy movements which are not prone to breaking unless you're a moron, it's the morons using them thats the problem. If you're going to dish out advice at least make it accurate, or if you can't point the person to a thread with actual factual info, not conjecture or myth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you There will always be differences from the gen, point is would they bother YOU. I have seen here post macrographs of rep Rolexes showing tells I could not make out with the naked eye, and yet it bothered THEM. Until you buy and wear the rep you won't know how much the differences (which are always there, even Mary told you so) matter to your enjoyment of the watch.

In fairness, the 7750 can go badly wrong, but mainly thats the modified ones, not the standard ones. Again, it's about the little details, the missing info. Saying avoid them because they break is a broad and inaccurate statement, that requires context Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
