Reproduction Watches: Ten Common Misapprehensions

Lie 1: Reproduction watches are best created in Switzerland and Italy.

- This is the most important lie of all. Duplicate watches are made in China and the elsewhere in the East. Do not believe anyone announcing that replicas are made in Italy or Switzerland because this is a lie designed to get more cash out of the unsuspecting.

Lie two: Quality - that is how replica watches are graded. The highest is Grade AAA+++, and Grade C is the lowest.

- Who decides what is "C" and what is "A"? Another lie to part you from your dear bucks.

Lie three: Real watch movements and the movements in replica Swiss-made copies are matching. Twenty-seven jewel movements are the best.

- (See Lie 1 for "Swiss made".) A long way from the truth. Only a few duplicate watch movements come from anywhere except China and any watchman can right away tell it isn't real. Replica watches only have 25, 21, or 17 jewel movements, not 27.

Lie four: The best reproductions are 99% true to the genuine and will even fool an allowed dealer.

- Incorrect. While some might be close to the real, all replicas are flawed. Do you actually think you can spend $200 or less and get a watch that is's 99% matching to a $4,000 - $200,000 watch? As for fooling authorized dealers, perhaps. You can easily fool common clerks, but the more seasoned dealers will know it is a reproduction upon close inspection.

Lie Five: The gold on "Swiss grade" duplicates is way higher than on other replicas. Full-gold copies are 5 or 6-wrapped, while the bezel, crown, and mid links are solid gold.

- The watch is generally gold-plated, or double or triple-wrapped in gold, though some models have been known to have solid gold mid links, like Rolex reproductions. (You will find out how they do this simply.).

Lie six: The best Rolex replicas are made with 904L grade steel.

- Gigantic fat lie. 440L quality steel is used to create good replicas. 940L steel costs 3 times as much as 440L, and it's only utilized by Rolex; this is the reason why they are so dear.

Lie seven : Buying a duplicate watch is dodgy, but not if you use sellers from "Replica Review" sites.

- These "review" sites are extraordinarily incestuous, and they're run by the very folks who are recommended. It's simple enough to be taken in by their lies because they are so smart.

Lie eight: After an inclusive investigation into the site, you can tell you're going to get a good watch.

- Please. You should be flogged if you think everything you find online is true. Con sites lie about everything, from the quality of their products to their pledge to make certain every customer is happy. Footage of genuine watches are even posted!

Lie nine: You will not have difficulty with your watch if you choose a good seller.

- Yeah, right. Quality controls in duplicate watch factories is hit-and-miss, but mostly shoddy. A batch may be okay, but the following one could be duds. (Remember, making replica watches isn't lawful, even in China. Often tiny operations, copy watch "factories" are made so they can be easily moved or hidden from the authorities.) What is true, though, is a good dealer will want to protect his/her name and will fix whatever is wrong .

Lie 10: The simplest way to get the cheapest price is by paying COD. Plus, you can inspect your watch before paying the courier to make certain you get what you paid for.

- A really dumb thing to do and a massive red flag that you are working with a real conman. They'll prefer cash because then you can not go running to your credit card company as soon as it becomes clear that they sold you junk.

- A last thing. Remember, replica watches are counterfeit goods, even the best quality Swiss copy Hybrids. In most nations, although it's not illegal to own or buy replica watches, selling them is not legal. Keep this in mind when using PayPal or talking with credit card companies.

How will I know if its the Real Thing or a Quality Replica ?

- Spotting the Good Fakes -

It used to be easy to see the difference between real and fake Breitlings with a little bit of knowledge, but now even the pros can be fooled. This article was written to help you identify the errors in the very well made fakes on the market so you don't get duped.

There are a few ways to see what the differences are in the high end quality replica watches usually:

• Date Font
• Luminous Paint
• Movement
• Bracelet

Date Font

Date font is never correct between the replicas and the real models, unless it is a modification done afterward by modelers out there that try to improve the manufactured fakes.

Below is an example of a Replica Super Ocean Steelfish and a real one. Not all real Breitlings have the same date font either so do not use these examples as definitive.

Notice that the real date font fills the space a little bit better than the fake one. It is typical of Breitling date fonts to try and fill the space with the number evenly.

Luminous Paint

One of most poorly done things on the poor quality fake Breitlings is the luminous paint. They are rarely painted on properly and typically do not reach all the edges of the indexes that they are painted on.

The example below shows a real Breitling Chronomat evolution and a fake, and how the paint on the fake leaves out little bits around the edges and corners due to poor quality control and craftsmanship.

This appears to be a common theme among the fakes and I think should be quite reliable in identifying them as of this writing.

Movement

Usually, fakes do not have decorated movements, however this is beginning to change. Most fakes have a plain Chinese made copy of the movement, as shown below.

More and more I am seeing decorated fake movements, that are not really decorated properly. As you can see, the real Breitling Caliber 13 movement above has the Breitling Logo in block letters. The fake ones I have seen have all had the Breitling Script logo rather than the block letters.

Some models of real Breitling have the script logo on the rotor decoration of the movement as well, so the script is not a guarantee of a fake movement either. The machine turned decoration on the movement does appear to be missing however on the fakes, even with the decorated rotor. As you can see above there should be extensive pearlage and circular patterning on the authentic movement.

Bracelet

The Bracelets are often the easiest things to spot the authenticity of, however that doesn't mean that the watch is real or fake either, as a fake bracelet can be put on a real watch, and vice verse.

Below are pictures of the screw holes on the opposite side of the bracelet where the screws go in. These examples are of a Pro and Pro II bracelet. Notice on the fake, the dimples are curved, whereas on the real one, they are flat. Depending on the bracelet you get (pilot, navi, pro, etc) the real bracelet may be completely flat or slightly curved in the dimple. The replica models however always have a very curved appearance as you can see from the photo.

There is also a bit more visible on the back of where the logos are stamped on the fake bracelets. The real bracelets often have a little bit of visible stamping on the back, but not nearly as much as the fake bracelets as you can see from the photos below. This is not definitive as the real ones have a bit sometimes as well, just not as much as the fakes.

WHAT EXACTLY IS A HYBRID REPLICA WATCH?

Hybrid replica watches are the combination of Swiss grade casing and bands, combined with an Asian movement. We have seen a wide variety of watch hybrids becoming available including Corum replica watches, Breitlng replica watches, Rolex replica watches, Panerai replica watches and Hublot replica watches. Their are many benefits to purchasing a replica hybrid watch:

First is price. Typically, an All-Swiss grade replica watch will run between $700 and $1500, depending on which Swiss movement is used. By using a Japanese movement we are able to bring the price down to the $500 range.

Another benefit of replica watch hybrids is that they are usually the most up-to-date replicas and thus replicate today's hottest fashion watches much earlier than standard replica watches.

We are very excited to offer only the most recent and best improved replica watches to come into the market. We strongly suggest doing your home work before spending your money. We're confident that once you do, you will decide that The Watch Professionals are your go-to source for the highest quality watch replicas.

The Watch Professionals are the first website to offer Hybrid Replica Watches.

New 2009 Hybrid Hublot replica watch

The Tourbillon

A tourbillon is an addition to the mechanics of a watch escapement( the device which converts continuous rotational motion into an oscillating or back and forth motion). Invented in 1795 by French watchmaker Abraham-Louis Breguet, a tourbillon counters the effects of gravity by mounting the escapement and balance wheel in a rotating cage, ostensibly in order to negate the effect of gravity when the timepiece (and thus the escapement) is rotated. Originally an attempt to improve accuracy, tourbillons are still included in some expensive modern watches as a novelty and demonstration of watchmaking virtuosity. The mechanism is usually exposed on the watch's face to show it off.

How it works

Gravity was thought to have a very adverse effect on the accuracy of time pieces at the time of the invention of the tourbillon, particularly because pocketwatches were often less accurate than stationary clocks of the same construction. The prevailing theory amongst horologists of the time was that pocket watches suffered from the effects of gravity since they were usually carried in the same pocketed position for most of the day, which was vertical, and then held in a different position while being read. Because the movements of pocket watches and similar pieces were oriented with respect to the cases and the dials, their movements were positioned with the axes of motion perpendicular to their faces. This meant that when the timepiece was placed vertically, the axis of motion of the movements would be parallel to the ground, and thus the force of gravity. In such a position, the force of gravity would affect the motion of parts of the movement differently when the parts were in different positions (i.e., moving with gravity or moving against it), which would cause variations in the rate the movement, which in turn would affect the timepieces' accuracy. If adjusted for one position, the rate would change when the piece was kept in a different position, such as when being held to be read or when placed on a table at night. In a tourbillon, the entire escapement assembly rotates, including the balance wheel, the escape wheel, the hairspring, and the pallet fork, in order to average out the effect of gravity in the different positions. The rate of rotation varies per design but has generally become standardized at one rotation per minute. Most tourbillons use standard swiss lever escapements, but some have a detent escapement, and others contain novel designs, such as the Audemars Piguet Millenary for example.

The tourbillon is considered to be one of the most challenging of watch mechanisms to make (although technically not a complication itself) and is valued for its engineering and design principles. The first production tourbillon mechanism was produced by Breguet for Napoleon in one of his carriage clocks (travel clocks of the time were of considerable weight, typically weighing almost 200 pounds).

Actually, this carriage clock was equipped with a repeater (not a tourbillon) and calendar. Completed in 1796, this was the first carriage clock ever made by Breguet. And this carriage clock ordered by Napoleon for his trip to Egypt battel was very handful & light in weight. Indeed first tourbillon regulator of Breguet combined with one of the first works of Arnold. Homage by Breguet to the cherished memory of Arnold offered to his son in the year 1808. (Daniels suggests Breguet thought of this as his first tourbillon because he regarded the 1800 one as a mere prototype.) The watch is now in the British Museum.

Modern tourbillon watches

In modern mechanical watch designs, a tourbillon is not required to produce a highly accurate timepiece; there is even debate amongst horologists as to whether tourbillons ever improved the accuracy of mechanical time pieces, even when they were first introduced, or whether the time pieces of the day were inherently inaccurate due to design and manufacturing techniques. Nevertheless, the tourbillon is one of the most valued features of collectors' watches and premium timepieces (Ref. August 2006 WatchTime article Girard-Perregaux's Tourbillon Icon), possibly for the same reason that mechanical watches fetch a much higher price than similar quartz watches that are much more accurate. High-quality tourbillon wristwatches, which are usually made by the Swiss luxury watch industry, are very expensive, and typically retail for at least thousands of dollars or euros, with much higher prices in the tens of thousands of dollars/euros being common. A recent renaissance of interest in tourbillons has been met by the industry with increased availability of time pieces bearing the feature, with the result that prices for basic tourbillon models have receded somewhat in recent years (where as previously they were very rare, in either antiques or new merchandise); however, any time piece that has a tourbillon will cost a great deal more than an equivalent piece without the feature.

Modern implementations typically allow the tourbillon to be seen through a window in the watch face. In addition to enhancing the charm of the piece, the tourbillon can act as a second hand for some watches as it generally rotates once per minute. However some Tourbillons spin faster(Gruebel & Forseys 24second tourbillon for example.). There are many "Tourbillon" fake/replicas of premium brand watches that emulate this feature with the oscillating balance wheel visible through the watch dial.

In the late 20th century, the first research into multi-axis tourbillion movements was done by British clockmakers Anthony Randall and Richard Good, eventually producing two- and three-axis tourbillon movements.
