Thanks :)

If only an expert can spot it then and that too after opening the watch, I guess it's over. Also this is 3 years ago, so now even the experts can't spot it.

[@roy33]

Did you run the serial number? I would think it may not match up to the watch model?

[@mruef]

Thanks for sharing! You mention that the parts look weak regarding durability. Can you say how the durability might be compared to a genuine watch? 10% less? Or even 50% less?

[@Ryan.8964]

Around 500-600 USD based on my research.

[@famts3716]

Not much difference, the movement and its parts are easily and cheaply sourced

[@famts3716]

@@Ryan.8964my ass, it’s less than half that

[@gyropyro7338]

Nice but what about the weight of the watch? The original heritage is made of titanium. If the fake is not titanium then it must be significantly heavier. Is this an easier way to distinguish them?

[@Senorbarnez]

These fakes are made from titanium too.

[@achavez78]

That's gotta be one of the best fakes I've seen.

Does anybody know a trusted shop were to buy quality iwc replica?

[@rizalix9]

I want it. What factory is it?

[@watchmakerjd8525]

I suggest going to a replica forum like RWI, or RWG and read, read and read some more, that would help make a better decision.

V7 has the highest finish and offers two version of the movements such as SW300 or Seagull cloned 2892. Mine with the seagull movement which only loses 8 secs in 3 days. Honestly, Gen is always good but the price is getting higher and higher. Mine only cost less than $350 compared to $5k for a Gen then who gives a f***. Those big capitals want us to keep in the rat race so they can slave us longer and deeper

[@shastapk5023]

Whatever..., the perlage on the rotor looks neat.. :)

[@stefanocavola3164]

very good video we are waiting for the revision of the movement and the chrono check;-)

A genuine mark xviii heritage titanium simply wouldn't come with a stainless steel buckle as in 1:44, would it?

[@alexal5889]

Ok, so if an item is 99.9% of the time same as the original then it"s not a fake. It's an original by all means,made by someone else who is not the brand lawfull owner.

[@pierrex3226]

That's still legally a fake. For which you can be arrested and fined in most jurisdictions that care about IP and law.

[@FreePalestine1948]

Can we send in our reps for service? Are you stateside?

[@watchmakerjd8525]

It would be my great pleasure if I could repair and service more people's watches, but I think it is difficult to do it because the problems with transport and customs are not free.

[@Arienne]

This is the power-tier version. If you pay about $250 extra, they'll put a real sellita in it and increase the finish quality, which makes it even harder to tell apart. absurd

[@Arienne]

lower-tier*

[@lukeh2440]

Sounds like you’ve looked into it…

[@sparowdoxsparowdox5966]

where do i buy a fake ,i cant aford a real iwc

[@pierrex3226]

Then don't. It's cringe to wear something you can't afford. Invest the money you have into something useful.

[@allosaurusfragilis7782]

Can you get a genuine watch that is this well made, for the price of a good replica? I doubt it. And if you can, it won't look as nice.

[@gueomduduto]

Yes you can! Try swiss watch company (swc)
