MrDTuk 2 Posted August 7, 2022 hello all, This may of been discussed in details already and if so I sincerely apologise. I recently came across a site with a (possible?) range of so called 'swiss replicas' separate to the ranges we see in our TD's catalogues. Does any one have any more info on these so called swiss replicas? and do any of our TD's have access to products like these? The quality seems to be 1:1! and its certainly eye candy. Any advise / help / guidance appreciated... **The scam site has been Removed, I can't believe in 2022 there are people that fall for this shit, enjoy the replies** Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gooner2826 159 Posted August 7, 2022 Swiss replicas simply aren't a thing ...... Bit of quick and simple research on here and you'd realise they're peddling the same thing our TDs do but for double/triple the price (that's even if you got anything from them). If you've seen what our TDs offer unsure why you'd look elsewhere, but hey ho, can only get ripped off once I guess Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Never, I repeat, NEVER buy from a random website that you don't know is trusted. At least you haven't come on here and said "I sent $1000 to this website for a perfect Swiss 1:1 AAA clone watch, and now they're ghosting me and not responding to my messages. Don't buy from them, they are scammers....." 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tribefan 6,768 Posted August 7, 2022 I hear the hang pictures of the Alps on the walls at the Guangzhou factories so it's just like Switzerland. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,501 Posted August 7, 2022 There are (rare!) Chinese rep with good swiss movements (mainly Sellita) like those sold by BK Garage watch, but they are super rare and they are modded versions of normal reps. There are (now not really anymore) Chinese reps with ETA gen movements cobbled together from old watches (mainly from BP factory, and they are much worse than the same watch with Asian new ETA clones). But there are NO "swiss made" rep, that's a scam. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrDTuk 2 Posted August 7, 2022 quality replies all round.... Yes I am new to the forum and the interest, I have read many post directed at 'newbies' over the last few days. Cheers all. I even placed an order with one of the so called TD's but when checking terms and details before sending money by BACS he has told me different specs to what is written on his site about the watch - (grrrr). (awaiting his clarification) cheers for chipping in - no its not spam - it was a genuine question... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If it is not clear to you, find a TD that will make it clear. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Care to share the link to that watch? And a suggestion, don't go with the huge ones, and maybe pointing out to a watch that is there but in reality out of production from years...
