Watches

[Sheikh Ma Nuggets]

Wrist watches, really? I forgot they existed until now.

Blimey, really? Not much of a memory then.

I think he had an IWC big pilot

Looks like it's hewn from a lump of solid steel.

I think we need to resurrect the replica watches thread, what was the site that sold them?

eBay?

eBay?

There was one that seemed vaguely respectable, though viewing some of the replica watch sites I cannot see how they're legal.

 

[Park Lane James]

watches are redundant, ugly, stupid, dated, unnecessary and anyone who wears one is a freaking macaron.

Then why are you in the 'watches' thread?

 

[Park Lane James]

I beg to differ:

A guy I've used in the past is Andrew at Trusty Time (google him).

Many watch manufacturers assemble in Switzerland but get the parts in China. In order to stop replicas they tend to spread the parts over a number of factories.

this guy has contacts in a lot of places and can generally remake the exact watch.

There is a site called world of watch that does replicas. I looked into doing it myself and actually contacted some of the Chinese factories that make them, ?ú45 for an ETA movement Rolex Daytona which sells for ?ú500+ however you need to import a whole container load and I would probably go to prison so decided against it

You're still looking at ?ú300 for a proper replica though. Handy if what you want is too rare or to get an idea of whether you like one before shelling out thousands.

 

[Gordinho]

How do you get round trademark infringement even when you're not purporting to be an original watch? Surely even paying tribute to a watch still infringes trademark? Or do watch premium brand manufacturers turn a blind eye as replicas stimulate demand for originals?

So you mean if I got a PP from this guy then it would use the exact same components and everything would be identical with the only difference being that it wouldn't have come through the official channels.

No. Most of them use a quartz movement, that you would find in a sub 100 pound watch

Ah so thats the catch then, I will bide my time for my PP
