How to spot a good super clone - my checklist

After buying 5 super clones over the past year, here's my checklist for spotting a good one. Case: Check the brushing. It should be even and directional. The polished bevels should be consistent. The weight should feel right - not too light, not artificially heavy. Dial: Check the printing under a loupe. It should be sharp, not fuzzy. The lume should be evenly applied. The date window should be properly framed. Movement: Ask for a timegrapher reading. It should be within +/- 10s/day. The beat error should be under 0.5ms. Bracelet: Check the links. They should be solid, not hollow. The clasp should snap shut firmly. The articulation should be smooth. If all of these check out, you've got a good one. If any fail, walk away.

The chrono pushers on mine are buttery smooth. People are always surprised when I tell them.

I was skeptical about super clones for years. Posts like this finally convinced me to try one. Ordered last week.

This is exactly my experience. The QC video is what sold me too. No other seller does that.

The bracelet on mine has zero stretch after a year. Quality is legit.
