Pgomfer 0 Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) Hi, I’m on the search of a Paul Newman 6241 PN replica and found out about this web page: replicaluxurywatches, look at the model on the web page. I cant find opinions or customer reviews about the company on the internet to detect if they are scammers. Can someone go through the link and take a quick look at the products and payment method and give me his/her opinion? Prices on all watches are pretty similar. Also they offered me a 15% discount if I chose to pay through bank transfer. They also have two same web pages: Replicaluxurywatches NewYorkluxurywatches I’m a student and would not like to lose ~$300 because of a scam. I sign up to this forum bc I saw here are people who know much more about this topic than me and have therefore more experience. thank you all again for your help!! appreciate it Edited December 18, 2020 by Pgomfer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Popperini 17,839 Posted December 18, 2020 It's not a TD. The photo is of a gen. It's $100 more than you should be paying. You'll get (if you're lucky enough to get anything) a JKF/Cartel watch which has the subdials in the wrong size/position - because that's currently the only option available for a factory made 4-digit PN Daytona on a budget. The best place to buy one of the budget Daytonas is here: $200 for any of the SS models. M is a great TD to deal with. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've recommended M to plenty of other members who have also recently bought Cartel watches from M at these prices, for instance @Figmo The offers are still running.

Don´t understand me wrong, I was just giving my thoughts, you obv know more than me and need/appreciate your advice. Why is it so difficult then to find a good replica with subdials in the correct size/position? It's frustrating Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why is it so difficult then to find a good replica with subdials in the correct size/position? It's frustrating Because the movements they use to build the reps are based on "standard" ETA movements, not the movements that were in the originals. Same for the Speedmaster. It would be way too expensive to recreate those original movements for aa rep watch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Figmo 61 Posted December 18, 2020 (edited) It's because of the lack of availability of inexpensive mechanical chronograph movements with the correct configuration and spacing of the sub dials. The makers therefore design a dial to fit the movements to which they have access. Also, don't misinterpret the "tough love" you've gotten in this thread. We're trying to keep you from losing your money on junk or worse yet, on receiving nothing at all. Please do resume reading on the "new members" section, then through the Rolex Daytona threads in our reviews section. To preemptively help keep you from making another n00b error, never ask this question: "What is the best replica?" "Best" is something only YOU can decide based on YOUR tastes and YOUR budget. Read up on them and then ask questions like "I want a Newman Daytona but am trying to decide between <factory 1> and <factory 2>. The most important features to me are..." Think of it like car shopping: one person couldn't care less whether it has heated seats and heated steering wheel, while a different buyer won't even consider buying any car without those features. On the bright side, you have avoided making the worst possible n00b error, which would have been to send payment, lose your money, then come here saying "I've been scammed (by a non-TD); please help." We can't help anyone with that (other than encouraging the unwitting victim to share info in the scammers section). Simply put: before asking, just make sure through searching the forums that you're not asking any questions that have already been answered dozens of times, and you're good to go.
