Stratified Classification of Replica Timepieces: Movement Depth and Macro Detail Precision

The hierarchical basis of imitation watches can be divided into:
The first category, Super A Swiss movements.
This type, which we call a Swiss machine, faces wall clocks with a certain amount of common sense, those who really like watches. This type of watch is characterized by first-class workmanship of the case and, crucially, the movement. The movement of this type of watch is not functionally different from the original watch and does not shrink in function. However, for cost reasons, an unpolished version of the same movement can be used, as well as the same functional movement at the same level. But then, the price will not be cheap. Only a few fans and high level economic buyers will choose.

The second category, A goods fine imitation.
That is to say, we usually call it precision imitation. The first criterion of this kind of precision imitation watches is the high demand for the appearance, which are all made by 1:1 laser molds of the genuine ones. Generally speaking, the manufacturing of molds for this kind of imitation watches is first-class, and the equipment that can develop this kind of case needs at least 1 million dollars. This kind of case is not something that can be produced by ordinary small factories. But the disadvantage is that the styles of this kind of imitation watches are not abundant. Because of the high cost of opening molds for each case, watch factories do not develop new styles at will, and they are usually very popular. Although the choice is small, the quality is guaranteed. In this kind of imitation watch movement, the general mechanical multifunctional movement is replaced by the quartz multifunctional movement, because the mechanical movement at this price can not realize the full function. In other words, if you see a few hundred dollars sport watch in the market and you claim that it is an automatic mechanical sport that also has a stopwatch chronograph function. You have to open your eyes and be more careful. As for quartz sports with multi-functional sports, the basicity can be fully functional. In other words, if you are in the market for a several hundred dollar sports watch and you claim it is a fully automatic mechanical sport with a stopwatch chronograph function, you have to keep your eyes open. As for the versatility of quartz sports.

The third category, ordinary imitation watches.
This type of watch is characterized by a wide variety of brands. From high-grade Patek Philippe to low-grade fourth-tier brands, as long as you know the style, basicity can be found. Because basicity is a small factory to open the mold, the accuracy of the case is often much worse than the genuine article, and many of them are electroplated cases. You should know that the price difference between the equipment to open a steel mold and the equipment to open an alloy mold is an order of magnitude.
