First super clone - what I wish I knew

Just got my first super clone last week. Here's what I wish someone told me before I started. 1. Always ask for a QC video. If they won't show you the actual watch before shipping, walk away. 2. The movement matters more than the case. A good clone movement will last years. A bad one will die in months. 3. Don't cheap out on the bracelet. A bad bracelet ruins the whole experience. 4. Read the forums. Learn the factories. Know what you're buying. 5. Don't try to pass it off as genuine. Enjoy it for what it is. I went with TIME'MAX because they offered all of this. The watch is perfect. The process was smooth. I'm already planning my next purchase.

I had mine pressure tested at 10 ATM. Passed without issue. These are legit.

Retired as well. The research process was half the fun. Enjoy the watch!

The GMT hand jumping independently is the killer feature. I use it every time I fly.

That dial color is perfect. Photos never do these justice.

What was the beat error on yours? Mine came in at 0.2ms which I thought was excellent for this price point.

Beautiful piece. Did you get the Swiss movement option or the standard? Trying to decide if the upgrade is worth it.

I was worried about being called out too. Never happened. These are that good.

College student here too. This is exactly what I needed to read. Saving up now.

I compared mine side by side with a genuine at a watch meetup. Nobody could tell.

How is the lume holding up after a few months? That is usually the first thing to degrade on replicas.

Love seeing more women in the hobby. The 36mm is perfect on smaller wrists.
