Replica Watches Guide – Important Things You Should Know – PART 1

Replica Watches Guide – Tips, Tricks, Secrets

Think you know everything about replica watches? Well, if so, I do hope you are aware of your unbridled optimism. 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. 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 want to say I appreciate the interest shown in my replica watches guides so far, even though some of them are uber-technical and require patience and attention for getting the most out of the reading.
I hope this two part (maybe even more) guide on replica watches will be able 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).
Think of this guide as general facts, applicable in let's say 99% of the time. And yes, this applies even to those few reliable replica sites. I won't go so 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 only few actually share.

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. I believe it's alright to talk with friends or fellow enthusiasts, but the latter will most likely know.
I couldn't notice over the years that people who own replica watches or are interested in them can discern much easier between a fake and the real deal, mostly due to that quest I was talking about one paragraph earlier.
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). 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 able to strut around with a Rolex on their wrist. That's hypocrisy if you ask me.
In short, if you like/want/have replica watches, keep it on the down low.

Why Are You Buying Replica Watches?

I believe this is the most important question you should ask yourself when wanting to buy replicas online and you should answer it honestly, don't lie to yourself.
The obvious answer is that people buy replica watches because they can't really afford the originals, so let's dig deeper. Do you simply like the design or do you also want to project a certain kind of image, that successful man aura?
I think that with all people, it's a combination of both, but where lies the balance? Ego or admiration? Whatever you answer, make sure that the projected image fits the ensemble. Basically, your friends and your work fellows know you good enough to have an idea of your financial situation, so if you walk around pompously with a blinged-out AP on your wrist, you'll probably make a fool out of yourself.
But there are people who love replica watches just as any kind of watch, possibly even more. Ziggy is one of them, I'm sure. He tinkles with the movements and just the thought that he put so much effort in making it better adds a lot of emotional value to the watch. The articles here and here will confirm. These people also hate the overpriced brand name timepieces that sell for an absurd profit margin and use a common movement, which you can easily get for a couple of hundred bucks, maybe even less.
Oh, and before I forget, there is a chance you're not buying the replica watch for yourself. Never gift a replica as an original, make sure you talk to your buddy first and explain your intention. The keyword here is, of course, BUDDY.
Replica watches should be given to friends only and with their prior knowledge, unless your friend is also in the rep game.
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.
'Till then, have a great one!
