Replica Watch News

Our paper debunks the notion of substandard replica watches!

You have always heard it, that a replica watch will never be as good as an original watch. That it is made with sub standard metals and low quality materials, and not build to last at all. In fact, some rumors have it that the proceeds from the sale of replica watches go toward supporting terrorism!

With such notions, it is no wonder that the average person would be more than hesitant about purchasing a replica watch, even though there are obvious benefits: like a much cheaper price tag as well as the easily accessible prestige that comes with owning a watch from well recognized design house.

We set off then to investigate on how true these statements are on replica watches and if it is at all possible to purchase a replica watch from a reliable online site, or is that just a myth?

Day1 - We browsed the internet using various search engines, searching for a replica Rolex, that being one of the top, and one of the more recognizable and accessible brands. The brand Rolex has become synonymous with prestige, luxury and sophistication thanks to their very energetic marketing and almost ubiquitous billboards adoring various swanky shopping districts and indeed various high profile sporting events such as the Masters Golf Tournaments throughout the years.

We managed to shortlist 5 sites based on the searches as well as the various reports and recommendations that we found on some of the replica watch review sites which are quite prevalent today on the internet. Next, we proceeded to try and contact them via e-mail to assess their response time as well as if their answers were logical and in fact grammatically correct, so as to filter out non professional sites.

Day2 - Received only 2 e-mail responses so far. That's a little bit alarming. Does it mean that more than 50% of replica sites out there aren't being serious about selling their wares? Or is it true that these are no more than phishing sites, out to capture your credit card details, or to bill you fraudulently without sending you any products.

We proceeded to e-mail the other 3 sites again, giving them the benefit of the doubt, by e-mailing from a different e-mail account.

Day3 - We did not receive any more responses. This isn't looking too good! However, out of the 2 responses that we did receive, one of them replied again within 24 hours, and gave a nicely formed reply. This was Couture Replicas, a site that promised to sell only the very best designer watches. Well let's see what they said:

"Yes, we do ship to all International locations, however, the time frame for shipment will vary depending on your location. As a guide, most shipments will take about 6 - 11 business days to reach you."

How about their watches, are they high quality or are they made with just run of the mill materials, will they last?

"All items are manufactured according to stringent guidelines and only with the use of top grade stainless steel that would never fade or wear. Your watch is designed to last very long indeed, and we have had many customers who come back to buy more for their friends and families after having worn the watches they purchased from us for 5 years or more."

Sounds too good to be true? We decided then to go ahead and test it - and placed an order on Couture Replicas.

Day10 - We received our shipment from Couture Replicas today - a replica ROLEX submariner. One of their purported best sellers. Out of the box, the watch worked perfectly fine and we could not help but admire the craftsmanship and the attention to details especially with regards to the markings that we thought could only be found on the original watches. We put it to the test - wore it for 24 hours straight and at the end, it did not lose a single second! That was pretty impressive considering that one of our editor's original Rolex has a habit of dropping 3 - 5 seconds every 24hours.

Couture Replicas has proven itself to be one of the few internet replica watch sites that does put their money (or in this case, their watches) where their "mouths" are. They were able to reply professionally, ship rapidly and produce a well manufactured replica watch that has not given any problems so far. Too good to be true? You be the judge.
