The Watch Thread - Part 16

end of the day consider this, can taobao or china give me a lange replica? No.

they can make a replica rolex but far from a replica lange

There are no well made replicas of Lange because it is not a well-known brand. Why will replica makers spend the effort to make a Lange super clone when almost nobody outside of the watch hobbyist community heard of the brand?

Trust me, If they can achieve the fame of Rolex, you will be able to get a super clone of a basic 3 hander Lange like the Saxonia. Case in point, there are decent looking clones of RM watches since they are relatively famous. They are not at the level of Rolex super clones yet but it is quite close if you don't use a loupe to look at the details.

Tiagong pelagos better then sub also

I have both, I like both, I also seen fakes for both. When I die I hope someone will burn both for me in the nether world..

I too have a blue pelagos and love it to death despite the common complaints about thickness which does not bother me,handled a sub 114060 but not a fan of sub though many swear by it.

LOLOLOLOLOLOL.

i like to see a replica factory manufacture a lange.
replica factory never touches watches with high end grand complication caliber that needs a high end finishing.

RM easy, cause skeleton movement. takes cues from FM

Tiagong pelagos better then sub also

technically, it's far more superior

 

[gaoxing84]

I pay 1k more for my omega seamaster from the AD as i prefer the experience.. or maybe i have not met grey dealers that give me the comfort to deal with.

jin satki. i rather save that 1k and go spend it with my family.
i guess i not as satki

paying more for AD experience is the dumbest thing for me.

Rolex watches are also hand made by workmanship like AP, PP, correct ?

machine lasered case, bracelet and movement parts
hand built movement
final case by hand.

most brands that mass produce does that.

even lange, patek and AP, some cases are machine lasered, hand finished.
except some higher end caliber and hand finished.
hand built and finally assembly by hand.

just youtube la. got their assembly videos.

I am not talking about their high-end pieces like the Datograph. From the level I have seen from the top-level Rolex replicas, I think they can do a passable small seconds Saxonia.

The Daniel Wellington ones can la... Don't need to flip around mar. Complication also can, just put levers that manually advance instead of having the complication work LOL.

Also, sometimes people don't bother doing proper replicas mar. Moonwatch not easy to replicate cos not many chrono movements can place the subdials where it is on the original - doesn't stop them anyways.

Lolol. Lagi funnier.
Have you seen a lange saxonia caseback?
Take a look at the Swan neck and base plate finishing.
Google if you haven't seen it before.

Top level replica Rolex is because it's a close caseback. Same for AP, it's easier to modify but the finishing on the movement if open case back, straight goner.

Can modify one. AP chrono is modify one.
Anyway. He meant lange is not well known that's why replica factory don't do. Is not don't do. Is cannot do. Lol.
Do already also need sell 5-6k. Lol who buy?

I don't think cannot do, just whether good rep or not. But I suppose people who buy reps do want it to look like the real deal, not some terrible ripoff that can be seen as rep from a mile away. I also think that most people who think of Lange will think of the complication type, therefore there is probably limited demand for a rep Saxonia (which can be produced, just don't flip around lor like I said - it's thin, has no seconds hand and the design is simple, not that hard to replicate the look).

Anyways, I don't know much about rep, but I think there are some rep forums and based on a quick check, there is a Lange subsection...

I won't post the photo here, but here're some links of very bad Lange reps.. Machiam like Pasar Malam G Shocks LOL

I think the top factories are capable of decent level finishing so the replica watch is still convincing even with a display back.

This is a replica PP324. The finishing when you look closely under a loupe has some rough edges (bevels not smooth enough, Geneva stripes and movement graining looks iffy, engraving is uneven) but to the untrained eye and without a real PP324 to compare with, it is a decent enough clone.

usually the dead giveaway is the thickness of the watch... the movement, from an arm's length, cannot really tell if you're not a Patek owner/familiar with Patek.
