PetryChristophe 0 Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) 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 Edited June 20, 2018 by PetryChristophe Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EBB 25 Posted June 20, 2018 There would be no problem, if that was the case a lot of brands would be confiscated.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RepGuy 108 Posted June 20, 2018 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PetryChristophe 0 Posted June 23, 2018 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PetryChristophe 0 Posted July 18, 2018 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
