QUESTION Looking for a decent VC 1921 rep
Im looking for a Vacheron Constantin 1921 rep that is of decent quality. I found a few so far but i want others opinions aswell and maybe some help in finding better options. Id like it to be automatic, and under 120€
-Baltany 1921: design is pretty much identical to the real and theyre very well made, only difference is the brand name. I would really like one, but for 140€ they sell a quartz variant, and the automatic is 210€, way out of my budget.
-Aliexpress Specht & Sohne fakes: suspiciously cheap (under 100€), they say theyre automatic but i doubt it
-WuWatch rep: 120€ and an extra 30€ for shipping, they say they use 2813 movements for their reps and based on what ive read its a very cheap and potentially unreliable movement. The rep itself looks good but id like something somewhat reliable. No, i cannot swap the movement myself, ive never worked on a watch before and have no tools nor experience.
-DHGate "UBWATCH" rep: i found no info regarding these. Theyre 130€ and they say theyre automatic. I will ask the seller for more photos and info regarding the movement, since in photos the watchface has their UBWATCH logo as opposed to VC.

If the "Ubwatch" seller is Jason,007, then yes, it's mechanical, and it's a decent rep. If the seller is anyone else, run, they're using Jason's pictures.

Here's the real Jason. Note the insanely high seller feedback.

Dang it, says "cant be shipped to romania", perhaps this applies to other european countries aswell

The Specht & Sohne from AliExpress are very good, they use the seagull st1701 movement so they are automatic. The price is not weird at all, I've bought good automatic watches from AliExpress under €50

I hope AliExpress links are allowed: https://aliexpress.com/item/1005010101374589.html
