FAQ's
What
are the features to look for, when purchasing a replica? How do
I know what sort of quality I'm getting?
-One of the
most popular questions we get from our many customers. Since EVERYBODY
claims that their replicas give the best value for money, how do
we know when anybody is telling the truth?
-We GUARANTEE
THE BEST PRICES FOR THE QUALITY - BUT - DON'T JUST TAKE OUR WORD
FOR IT. How do you know we have the best replicas, since other sellers
will claim that their watch is just as good, or even better??
It's
EASY - just ask ANY watch seller the following questions:
- Is the watch
FULL, SOLID stainless steel? Or is it stainless steel coated?
All too often replicas are stainless steel coated, so after some
wear, the stainless steel wears off, showing the brass or aluminum
body, which makes the replica completely useless then. ALWAYS
INSIST on full, solid stainless steel replicas!
- Is the
watch WATERPROOF? Cheap replicas will never hold up under water.
Get caught in the rain once and it is as good as gone. While we
don't expect that a replica should be worn for diving, it must
DEFINITELY be water-proof, at least for regular swimming purposes
and for the shower and the rain! No water-guarantee - NO DEAL!
- Is the
glass SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL? Don't settle for less than scratch resistant
sapphire crystal. How do you tell? Run a SHARP penknife across
the dial when you receive the watch - if it scratches - RETURN
IT - IT'S NOT WORTH THE MONEY!
- Does the
watch have SCREWS in the links, or PINS? Most replicas have watch
links which are linked by cheap pins, which require hammering
out, just adjust the links. Don't be fooled either by pins that
are folded, and resemble screws. Solidly built, high quality replicas
should have THREADED SCREWS in the links, NOT PINS. These can
be nicely removed with a small screw-driver to adjust for band
size!
- Does the
watch have the HACK mechanism? When the crown is pulled out to
set/adjust the time, the second hand stops moving - this is known
as the hack mechanism. This feature is almost never found on replicas,
and is usually a dead giveaway for a replica. Only high quality
replicas have the hack mechanism - but you DON'T have to pay a
fortune to get one that does - OUR Italian replicas, have the
hack mechanism!
- Does the
watch have a SOLID STAINLESS STEEL BACK with GREEN STICKER? Replicas
with the see-through, glass back, are another dead giveaway. swiss
replica-rolexes have a solid stainless steel back, with the green
sticker with model number and logo - don't settle for anything
else!
- Does the
watch have the SERIAL NUMBER/ BAND NUMBER? Serial and band model
number should be found on the final links/last piece of any Rolex-replica,
exactly as found on genuine watches. Unfortunately, MOST replicas
don't have that - but OURS DO.
- Does the
watch have STEELINOX markings, and Serial number on clasp? All
sports models have the traditional Flip-lock clasp, with STEELINOX
engraved clearly and sharply on the clasp, as well as the SERIAL
NUMBER engraved on the clasp. A good replica WILL HAVE THIS. If
it doesn't, it's not worth the money.
- Is the
watch a two-tone or all gold model? If so, IS THE DATE WHEEL GOLD,
OR WHITE? Genuine 18k/SS and full 18k watches have the gold date
wheel. If the replica you are interested in purchasing is a two-tone
or all gold model, ALWAYS ASK if the date wheel is white, or gold
- if it's white, KEEP YOUR MONEY, because that's a dead-giveaway
for a replica!
Other
Standard Features
When purchasing
a replica, aside from all the above features, which help distinguish
a good replica from a bad one, all replicas should have the following
standard features:
*Screw-in
crown
*Unidirectional
turning bezel where appropriate
*All the
appropriate logos, on crown and dial
*Heavy weight
If
it doesn't even have the above features - it's probably worth about
$2!
