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.


Nice! What strap are you running on it? I find the bracelet a bit heavy for summer.
