Didun Homage Watches

[PetryChristophe 0]

Hello,

So i came across the brand Didun, that makes "Homage" watches (they actually ONLY change the name the rest is exactly the same) and they have, so it seems, really nice Audemars Piguet perpetual calendar watches (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/DIDUN-Automatic-Watches-Men-Mechanical-Watch-Top-Luxury-Brand-Male-Moon-Phase-Diving-Calendar-Wristwatch-Waterproof/32837722881.html). I wanted to know if customs can make problems when i have this kind of watch send to me (I live in Luxemburg) because Homage watches are actually not illegal right?

I'm a little worried because last time i ordered an AP replica (not a Homage) from a trusted dealer customs destroyed it and i got a fine from AP lawyers.

thanks for any answers in advance

There would be no problem, if that was the case a lot of brands would be confiscated..

The watch will not get confiscated due to it not bearing a trademarked name. With that being said, although the listing pictures look decent, the actual watches are much rougher looking. Try to find actual pictures submitted by purchasers, and you'll see a much less presentable watch.

These are made with bottom of the barrel replica parts, and simply rebranded to make them technically legal. If you want one, don't let me stop you, but just be aware that these are very poor in quality.

That would fall into trademark infringement, something customs don't care about and the responsibility is not on the buyer of such products, so you are in the clear zone  

Use a TD with triangular shipping to avoid Luxemburg customs if you want a rep

Thanks for your replies 

I checked out some reviews on youtube and it actually looks pretty good for the price so i'll give it a go

Please take some good shots and post them up so we can all see the differences, if there are any.

The watch arrived yesterday ( after 17 Days) which is pretty fast since they say it's between 21-30 days. But still it felt like an eternity because i tracked the package everyday

Opening it i was immediately very surprised because the finish of the watch is really really nice. There were no scratches or any impurities so i was very relieved the wristband is also pretty comfortable and not too sharp. All in all i'm more than happy with the Watch even more so since it was very cheap for around 60 EUR (86$). I really didn't expect this, now i just hope that whats inside also holds together  

I'd love to show you some pics but i don't know how to  if its not an existing Attachment or URL so if someone could let me know

Where are you storing your photos of the watch, which hosting site?  I use imgur, but others are available.  Once we know this more specific instructions can be issued.

Does this work for you guys? 

[Glaude 1,615]

Yup, but that's even better :

Oh great thx :D 

So what do you think?

[blueoysterboy 17]

I'm no AP fan but that looks like a nice homage watch.  Sorry, didn't catch it, what is the movement in this watch?

[PetryChristophe 0]

It says MIYODA automatic movement

No man it's a clone so it's definitely MIYODA  Either that or the seller is a Star Wars fan,

Very cool product, but a bit spendy indeed for a quartz of unknown origin

I think the Didun looks pretty well finished and the quality of your photos are pretty good, as well.

.......so...how about PMing a Link my way, yes?

 

Just not sure what the outer ring is for, 52 weeks?

[Xpletiv 16]

[PetryChristophe 0]

Yeah it’s for the weeks but there’s no week-hand so i don’t know what it’s for

just look it up on aliexpress you’ll find it right away

[Xpletiv 16]

^Yes, yes I (we) could look it up, BUT which seller did you use? 

You got the product, now it would be nice to know whom to trust to actually send out the same!
