Any good reputable watch replica dealers?

[Dryst999]

So i'm looking at getting a replica Movado or TAG watch to tide me over until I buy a real one. Anyone suggest a good dealer for replica's? Obviously I don't expect the exact quality but if I spend $200 on a replica I don't want a cheap piece of junk that's an obvious fake. Trying to find a nice Movado Fiero or TAG Carerra replica

If you are willing to get a replica, why not just stick with it instead of getting a real one later on?

no clue, but i only spent $285 on my movado, which is an $800 movado. was a sale on thewatchery.com like 2 days before xmas a few years back.

personally i would never pay $200 for a 'replica' watch. i'd pay like $20 or so if i knew it was not a real one.

Well it depends on the quality of the replica. If I couldn't tell the difference between the replica and the real thing and it lasted me a few years without issue I probably wouldn't switch over to the real thing.

I make enough now where I can afford a 2-3k watch but I don't want it to eat into my house down-payment savings. My current Bulova watch that i've had for a few years just broke, it was in the $200 range and as of right now that's all i'd like to spend until I buy my house. Most quality replica's are in the $150-$250 range so I figure i'll go that route.

I know I could get a Movado Museum Classic watch for around $250 at Ashford, I just don't like the look of it that much (I've tried it in person).

If you're going to spend that much on a knockoff, why not get a nice Seiko or something? You'll get higher quality watch than the knockoff.

It's similar to an honest politican, Santa Claus and the Easter bunny I would imagine.

Right now Invicta has their watches on sale at Amazon for a small fraction of the MSRP. At the low price they are excellent items. At the high price they are a poor bargain.

Someone that won't steal my credit card info and that will deliver a product that is barely noticable between the real thing to the naked eye...

Cmon... I know some of you have bought replica's, where did you buy them?!

That's what I did. Got a Seiko that looked almost like the expensive watch I wanted.

Anyways there's a watch thread in Hot Deals for some really cheap watches if anyone wants to take a look. http://forums.anandtech.com/showthread.php?t=2191673

If anyone really wants an Invicta, they need to hit up shopnbc. When they have their sales, some prices are pretty big drops. Granted I don't buy into the fact they say this is a $1000 watch for $200 etc, I am just saying they are the lowest for Invicta.

I have purchased two presidential gold day date from stylemereplica.com site and received them yesterday (10/24/2012). I ordered one for man and one for lady (36mm & 29mm) and emailed them three times asking them to make sure of the sizes and also called them once to confirm but they sent me two men's watches. Not only that but also the quality of the watches are so bad that I can't even open and close (clasp) correctly. The bands are made of such cheap material and when I took of a couple of links to fit to my wrist I can see brown and black metal surfaces on the sides of the links. The site's description says it has sapphire crystal but the actual watch has cheap glass on it. It is waste of time and money sending it back to china and don't even know if they will ship correct sizes and/or good working watchs back. I consider this a big loss and will never ever buy anything from Stylemereplica.com ever again. Be warned !!! A review site had good words about this site and I trusted it but it was my big mistake trusting the review site.

I haven't wore a watch for like 10 years, and the other day I thought I go get my gf a nice present, to my surprise, a omega seamaster that matches the 007 one for women was going for around 5k, i was like should I get a replica or not at all..

my last watch was a tag that I haven't wore for a long time and i think I paid like 1800 for that.. i dont know if price has gotten up or something but boy are they pricy

she's getting the new 4th gen ipad instead..

Reputable watch dealer? Go to canal street in NYC, plenty of reputation there.

I have had two replica watches in the past. One was a $20 Rolex purchased on the street in Toronto. It was obviously a fake, but at a glance on the wrist could pass as real. It lasted less than a year before it started to fall apart (the bezel fell off) and then quit working.

My wife purchased a $100 fake Rolex for me in Hong Kong. It was a very realistic copy, but still wouldn't pass the sniff test if you actually held it (it was too light, and the second hand movement wasn't right). It lasted about a year and a half before it stopped working.

Now I have a real Rolex, and the difference is quite noticeable, and I've worn it every day for over 5 years and it still works and looks great.

My advice, wait until you can afford the real thing. For now, purchase a good $200 watch.
