peppercorn 0 Posted January 30, 2018 Hello. All! New member here. I came across this website looking for a sub mariner clone of high quality. I found a listing for 'perfect clones' in the stickies and have sunsequently found some very negative reviews about them. I'm wondering if anyone here can vouch for them? Share this post Link to post
Glaude 1,615 Posted January 30, 2018 It's not like they have a full feedback section with almost only postive things... Seriously you're going to get hellfire release on you for this question, if you've indeed did some reading, you've not read very well Share this post Link to post
blehbleh215 0 Posted January 30, 2018 I vouch for Joshua (perfect clone) professional services. He acts quick and responds email in a timely manner. Regarding the negative feedbacks, they are all personal perspectives...I would doubt if there is a section only positive feedbacks... Share this post Link to post

NDJ 19 Posted January 31, 2018 I can vouch for Joshua. I've bought quite a few watches from him and he's professional and reliable. On the 2 occasions where there have been QC issues (these are replica watches after all) he has been very helpful in resolving them to my complete satisfaction. Share this post Link to post
r0b9502 2 Posted January 31, 2018 Perfect Clones is reliable. He will ship the first available watch per your order to you. And he is quick *note* if you are finicky, want another of same model, due to your perceived *big* defect, eh, he might not be so accomodative Share this post Link to post

As I've read and searched around here tonight I e corn to understand that 'NOOB' produced watches are considered to be of above average quality. It just so happens that it is one of his 'NOOBS' that that I am interested in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post
r0b9502 2 Posted January 31, 2018 Noob is above average, for sure. But their quality varies piece by piece though. They are not Rolex, with their quality control. You just have to accept that these are of general quality equal to their price differential. If at all you are interested in timekeeping accuracy, keep out of this game. If you are interested in external appearances only, you will get sorta a good deal Share this post Link to post

At any rate, seeing the -1 spd and amplitude of 320 gave me hope. Are these clone movements something that can be tweeked to make acceptable timekeeping? Are they a worthy starting point?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post
black263 228 Posted January 31, 2018 Timegrapher pics aren't worth the pixels they use up. Toro doesn't send them as a matter of policy, and I agree with him. I've never had a watch, gen or rep, that performs on the wrist the same way that's shown on a timegrapher. Worst case is one that needs a repair as it's losing 30 minutes a day on the wrist. Face up on the timegrapher, the error is only 5 seconds, but as soon as I wear it, it goes to shit. And there is evidence that some dealers are posting fake timegrapher pictures (always by mistake of course). Where a timegrapher IS useful is in real-world regulating. I wore my last rep for a couple of days in my normal useage and found it was running 20 seconds a day fast. On the timegrapher, face down with the back off, so I could get at it, it was showing 10 seconds a day slow. So I adjusted it to 30 seconds a day slow (removing the real world error), and it's now within 0 and 5 secs a day fast. (it gains a few seconds while it's worn, and loses while it's on the bedside table. Share this post Link to post
Joni 0 Posted January 31, 2018 If you read the threads you might turn to BK (Trusted dealer) if your looking for a top quality Rolex rep. Read properly about the different factories aswell so you get the quality you want because its important that you be specific with What you want when you order and if the TD isnt good in english even more important and when you get the pics before confirming the buy then check the pics properly so it looks the way you want it because when the watched has reached you the more difficult it would be to correct the issue sincerly Joni Share this post Link to post
peppercorn 0 Posted January 31, 2018 All good points above, and, very much appreciated. Thanks, guys. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Share this post Link to post
PCJ 2 Posted January 31, 2018 I ordered a watch through PC that was apparently available, and after the money was accepted it turned out it was no longer available. Joshua offered me a choice of another watch, or a refund. The refund was in my account within a couple of days Share this post Link to post

Joni 0 Posted January 31, 2018 I read them long ago and was actually searching after them aswell and cant find them/it So I cant link you further, however ARF factory is considerd the best, then you have factories like Noob, JF, BP etc. Some TDs use there own names But in general these are the names. But you still have to read the intro threads aswell as other members posted topics/reviews so that you will get a better understanding, because some members even order different parts from different factories. Like i read that one considerd the noob dial better than the JF But bracelet was better than the Noob aswell as some even put some gen parts to there reps etc, so start reading and after some time hopefully you will have a bigger understanding about the rep world. But in general the ARF is the top , even have with 904L steel , and if you want to add more detailed things which might be missing in compare with gen then there are TDs that can be able to fix it, obviously such rep will be more costly. Hope the info helped a bit Enjoy the reading:-) Share this post Link to post
