How can I trust you with my money?
Firstly, just because we sell replicas does not mean that we are dodgy! This site is here to help cater for the needs of watch lovers who simply can not afford to go out and spend thousands of pounds on a watch!

If we ship an inferior product and don't refund your money, you can contact Paypal and get a full refund. Basically, the credit card companies and Paypal are always on the customer's side!

What if I'm not satisfied?
You will be. But if you really don't think they're worth the money, then simply return them to us and we will refund your money, no questions asked. Please do not remove the plastic wrapping around the bands or remove any links, or wear the watch at all, because we cannot refund your money on worn watches. Make sure to read our return policies before ordering.

What exactly are the movements of Swiss replicas?
The movements of these Swiss Rolex replicas vary. Either they have a generic (copy) Swiss 21-jewel movement, a Swiss ETA 21-jewel 2846 movement, or a Swiss ETA 25-jewel 2834-2 movement. ETA is the name of the Swatch-owned Swiss company that produces high quality automatic movements for all kinds of watches, including genuine Omega and Tag Heuer watches. The 2834-2 movement is part of the ETA Mecaline series of movements, and the 25-jewel movements are able to make 28,800 vibrations per hour (4Hz). They all have the hacking signal found in real Rolex watches (when you set the time, the second hand stops sweeping) and they all have an extremely durable construction through over 200 years of ETA's solid reputation. As a matter of fact, ETA has recently just produced the 200 millionth movement for Swatch alone. The movements simply are some of the finest in the world.

You say your watches are 99% exact to the real thing. Where did the 1% go?
If I say that our watches were 100% exact to the real thing, Rolex would be out of business. What you can expect is an amazing watch that will last you just as long as any genuine Rolex. The Swiss replica contains genuine Swiss-made parts, and is individually hand-crafted just like a genuine Rolex. The biggest difference between our watches and a genuine Rolex is that our watches do not undergo the same tests that a genuine Rolex undergoes. The procedures our manufacturer use to test the watches is slightly different, and less strict. Nevertheless, the watch is constructed to perfection and we guarantee that you will not be disappointed with it in any way.

Can you swim in them?
Although certain watches are water-resistant to a certain degree, we suggest keeping it away from water whenever possible, and make sure the crown is always screwed in tight so moisture does not get in. Please do not wear your watch to go swimming or take a shower.

Are all Swiss replicas on the net the same?
No. Just like with the Asian replicas, there are 2 grades of qualities even for these Swiss replicas. The first grade, which is the type some retailers sell (and try to represent them as 25-jewel ETA replicas), carries a movement that is a copy of the Swiss ETA movement. Although these are very high in quality as well, the truth is, you are not getting a genuine ETA movement, nor are you getting the same craftsmanship as in our Swiss replicas.

I cant find what I want, does this mean they don't make a replica?
Absolutely not! The watches on the website are merely a small collection of the most popular models. We can source almost any model and will try our best to ensure that you get what you want. Please use the contact form for all enquiries.

Will the materials on your watches ever fade?
Not on our solid gold watches. You may have seen cheaper fakes that have faded on you in the past. That is because all watches that are not Swiss replicas cannot afford to use solid stainless steel, or even real gold. The stainless steel on those watches are just plated on, and the gold is always fake gold. The thin plating usually lasts for a few months only on Asian replicas, before the acid on your sweat starts corroding it. After that, the stainless steel/fake gold will wear off, and all you see is a cheap base metal. Even on the higher quality Japanese Replicas, the genuine gold is plated much thicker. However, it will eventually fade off after few years.

However, on our triple-wrap watches, the gold will usually last you several decades before it wears off. Theoretically, the gold on the triple-wrapped watches never wear off. It is usually the salt from very acidic sweat that will eat into the gold. This causes the gold to corrode. However, this happens even on genuine gold. Genuine gold will simply turn a very dark, black color, whereas triple-wrap gold can slowly wear off because of chemical reactions. Therefore, any type of gold is always advisable to be kept away from very acidic sweat and salt water. Maintenence tips are always included with every watch to insure an extended lifetime for decades to come!

How sharp are the fonts on the face?
The fonts on the face are all accurate and extremely sharp. No one can ever tell the difference just by looking at them, or any other parts of the watch. Check out some of the close-up pictures for more information.
