Differences Between Swiss and Japanese Made Replicas

The Internet replica industry has many faces over the Internet. In this guide, we do our best in explaining what are the quality differences between Replica Watches over the net.

Mechanism "Made in ..." ?

Swiss Made (Swiss Replicas)
Movement mechanism was actually manufactured in Switzerland, by a company selling movement mechanisms to the REAL brands.
Swiss Replica watches are TOP grade watches.
Japanese Made (Standard Replicas)
Movement mechanism manufactured in Japan, the quality differences in this category are tremendous. You may have Japanese made replicas of the highest quality available, even compared to the Swiss category. And you may have true "junk" worth even less than the Chinese "paper toy" replicas. Our "Standard Replicas" are of the highest level available today on the Internet or elsewhere, your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed. Note: Throughout the Internet, unless mentioned a replica watch is "Swiss Made", 99% of the times its Japanese made, unless you are getting robbed with a Chinese one..
High Quality Standard Replica watches are HIGH grade watches.
Chinese Made (Cheap Replicas)
The lowest of the low. WE DO NOT DEAL WITH CHINESE MADE REPLICAS. Those are the watches you usually see sold on the street or in 3rd world country shopping markets, for example as in Thailand and Mexico.

Movement Types

Swiss Replicas
7750 Valijoux: Used in REAL brand watches. Fully Automatic.

Quartz Battery: If the watch is not called "Automatic", than its working on a battery.
Standard Replicas

Gold, Stainless Steel and Diamonds

Swiss Replicas
Gold: Whenever mentioned gold, you see REAL plated high quality 18K gold.
Steel: Whenever mentioned Steel, you see REAL 440 Stainless Steel. 440 is the level of Steel strength, made in Switzerland.
Diamonds: Whenever mentioned diamonds, you see Cubic Zirconia which is a mineral that is widely synthesized for use as a diamond simulant.
Standard Replicas
Gold: Whenever mentioned gold, you see REAL gold, but not high-quality 18K gold!
Steel: Whenever mentioned Steel, you see REAL 440 Stainless Steel. 440 is the level of Steel strength, made in Japan.
Diamonds: Here is where you need to check the website you are buying from, most Standard Replicas do not consist of Cubic Zirconia, Ask before buying! Our Standard Replicas are one of the few built with Cubic Zirconia.

Water-proof or Water-resistant?

Swiss Replicas
Swiss Replicas are 100% water PROOF, meaning you can swim wearing the watch, without having the warranty expire. Our Swiss Replicas were proven at 30 meters of dive depth.
Standard Replicas
Here is another tricky spot of the replica industry: Standard Replicas are NOT water proof, they are water RESISTANT! meaning you can not swim or even shower wearing the watch, you get no warranty on water damages with Standard Replicas, this is the industry standard procedure. Do not fall for online stores promising coverage for water damage on Standard Replicas, its a hoax.

Warranty

Swiss Replicas
Should include an extensive 180 days warranty on all damages.
Standard Replicas
Should include a 90 days warranty on manufactures defects, will not cover water damages.

Note: When I personally purchase a product online worth more than $400, I expect to have an UNCONDITIONAL guarantee, allowing me to return the product immediately, with no questions asked. [Comment by Scott]

Price

Swiss Replicas
Will usually vary between $500 and $800, what you are paying for is the quality of materials, especially the movement mechanism and extensive warranty.
Standard Replicas
Will usually vary between $180 and $260, what you are paying for is the complete service of providing a high quality TRUE replica using CHEAP materials and a personal support service.

Phone Support

Once again, When purchasing a product online worth more than even $500, it is a good idea to check for Telephone support, you would not want to start an email correspondence of several weeks regarding a $1000 order. BUT very important to mention that MOST online replica stores will not offer telephone support, but will offer a great service on the spot with operators answering emails 24/7/365 in a very professional and concrete manner.

Markings

Here is where there is no actual difference, whether buying a Swiss or a Standard replica, you should it should count for the exact same weight and consist of all 100% Correct Markings, Engravings and Serials.

Thanks for Reading

Thanks for your time! We hope this guide will shad some light on the important parameter to consider when deciding the level of replica watch suitable for you.

Thanks Again,
