Think of this guide as general facts, applicable in let’s say 99% of the time. And yes, this applies even to those few dependable replica sites. I won’t go thus far as to impose what follows as rules, but that’s exactly what it is – unwritten rules that you figure out by yourself over time and merely few genuinely share.
I honestly don’t intend to sound belittling because I don’t know quite everything there is to know either. However, chances are that if you’re reading this, you either lack some knowledge or you aren’t quite sure that what you know is true. Think you know everything about replica watches? Well, if so, I do wish you are aware of your unbridled optimism. That’s why I tried my best to compile this guide on what to know and what to expect when looking to buy replicas online.
Before I begin, I desire to say I appreciate the interest shown in my replica watches guides thus far, even though some of them are uber-technical and require patience and attention for getting the most out of the reading.
I don’t remember ever hearing stuff like, “Hey, this is the ’05 Rolex Submariner, the best one ever released”. I wish this two part (maybe even more) guide on replica watches will be capable to answer as much questions as possible, the kind of questions I get in the comments all the time (which is alright, by the way, I’m happy to share my knowledge with you, always hoping to get some extra karma points). Who knows, you can damage it and consistency can be erratic thus it is possible parts won’t fit newer versions.
First Rule Of Replica watches – Try To Be Discreet
I guess I shouldn’t even mention this, because this quest for perfection, for the absolute best replica watch is obviously accompanied by a strong desire not to be called out with one. If taken care of in a proper manner, replica watches can last a very long time, thus there’s nothing to worry about here. I couldn’t notice over the years that people who own watches or are interested in them can discern much easier between a fake and the genuine deal, mostly due to that quest I was talking about one paragraph earlier. And a friendly advice: if you find a dazzling replica, it wouldn’t hurt to buy another one just like it.
I’m sure you know that some people are against all kind of copies, from replica watches, bags, whatever, to even homages, “genuine” branded copies of the X brand. Example – those Parnis watches, which are obvious copies of Panerais (read here a post on this subject). I’m also sure that you are aware of the blooming of custom watches. These people will always criticize you, out of sheer spite, which they call correctness or honesty. Most of them will play the hunger games (pun intended) even for months, just to be capable to strut around with a Rolex on their wrist. This trend makes it even easier for the rep hunters to sport a replica watch without worrying it will be identified as a fake.
Why Are You Buying Replica watches?
The obvious answer is that people buy watches because they can’t really afford the genuine, thus let’s dig deeper. Do you simply like the design or do you also desire to project a certain kind of picture, that successful man aura?
Basically, your friends and your work fellows know you fine enough to have an concept of your financial situation, thus if you walk around pompously with a blinged-out AP on your wrist, you’ll probably make a fool out of yourself.
Ziggy is one of them, I’m sure. He tinkles with the movements and just the thought that he put thus much effort in making it better adds a lot of emotional value to the watch.
The perfect looking, perfectly functional replica is a whole different thing. It exists, and merely dependable replica sites are capable to offer it constantly. It looks exactly like the watch it was copied after, feels good, keeps dazzling time and doesn’t fall apart. Depending on how well you take care of it, it can even last you a life time.
Feel free to leave your thoughts and comments below. Let’s end here this first part and continue with PART 2 of this replica watches guide next week. Next time, I’ll focus on the technical part, if you will.
