GRADING EXPLAINED

2A (AA) - Extremely cheap materials, folded steel link bracelets and very poor automatic movements. save yourself the hassle and get a cheap Casio instead.
Typical holiday standard watches 3A/ 3A+ (AAA/ AAA+) Minimum grade available in the community. These are not the top grade. They are built as imitations from an aesthetics perspective. These do have their flaws and usually sell for anywhere between 100-160. There are many factories that produce these.
Avoid chrono ones as they are a clear give away and defeat the whole objective. May have the correct case size, have the correct bracelet and clasp but there will still be major differences if compared to the gen. Things such as the dial printing may not be as sharp, the crystal may not be sapphire and the clasp markings will probably be quite poor.
These typically use low beat automatic movements such as 2813s. The chronographs are typically VK Quartz and while being fully functional do not always feel or look the part.
Recommended if you are restricted to a budget CG (Clone) These are where the game changes, you can pick an entry level clone up for around 180 and will rise up to around the 350 mark. These have a much better bracelet, much better dial, datewheel, date magnification and feel to them. A Clone Rollie Sub for example will have the correct 2.5x magnification everytime, the lume will also be a lot better than its 3A counterpart. It is well worth saving up and buying a clone, especially if you are after a Rollie or OM or Breit. Movements usually consist of a cloned eta movement typically the 2836 for 3 hand time pieces or 7750 for the chrono. SCG (Super Clone) - These are super close to the gen. A few deem some offerings so good that the gen is not worth paying the extra for. And this is 100% true.
SCG will set you back between 350 all the way up to 1000+ depending on the model and if it is gold, tourbillon etc. If . Movements consist of highbeat ETA Clone movements such as the 2824 or 3135 and fully stamped up clone movements that replicate the in house movements made by the best luxury brands in the business. Is my timepiece waterproof? No matter what, get your time piece pressure tested before going deep in water with it.
Dont buy a daydate or a chronograph and expect to be able to swim in it, people dont even dare do that to the gens Superclones especially are said to be waterproof to 30m for most dress watches from factory if its a divers watch they are 100 metres plus and they have all the water seal gaskets in the same places as Gen How often should i give my time piece a wind? usually should give around 40 winds to charge the movement and it gives a full charge and reserve and helps to perform at its best to give the most accurate time.
It only needs wound once no need to wind it every few days as it dosent make a difference to the performance. some movements have 35 to 70 hours power reserve Once wound and on your wrist you won't need to wind it again unless you've took it off and left it lying around for more than 3 days and it's stopped other than that no need to wind Taken from another post very useful guide Written by a friend For those new to the fascinating world of replica watches, some common terms- REP: Short for Replica watch GEN: Short for Genuine watch GRADES: Refers to the quality and accuracy of the replica compared to genuine watch. The basic three grades are AAA, Clone and Superclone (often abbreviated to SCG) Plus a couple of lesser used grades called AAA+ and Entry Clone. AAA+ tend to be quartz movement watches or low beat automatic movement watches but with higher quality cases and bracelets than regular aaa. Entry Clones are clone watches but with lower spec movements such as a 2813 automatic 'low beat' movement. Superclones are regarded as the best quality replica (from the factory) and often referred to as a 1:1 replica. Price increases as the grades improve. FACTORY: The factory (usually in China) that produces the specific watch. Usually factories specialise in particular brands so getting to know which factory makes the best versions of a particular brand is useful. You will see names like Noob, AR Factory (ARF), VSF, ZZF, OMF, JF etc. The 'F' always stands for 'Factory' MOVEMENTS: You will see many numbers mentioned which refer to the movement calibre of that watch. 99.9% are chinese clones of well known movements such as 2824, 2836 & 7750 (the gens are made by ETA) also 3135, 3235 & 4130 (clones of Rolx movements) plus many others. HIGH BEAT/LOW BEAT: This refers to the speed or frequency that the movement's balance wheel oscillates. In general terms, the higher the beat, the more accurate the watch will be and the smoother the second hand will 'sweep' round. The cheaper 'Low Beat' movements tend to be found in aaa, aaa+ and entry clones where the 'High Beat' movements are found in clones and scgs. 28,800bph (Beats Per Hour) or above are classed as High
