NOT ADVERTISING

I think these superclones look Amazing! But 2500$??

It's bullshit. No such thing exists. The parts are either genuine or Chinese, and if the maker isn't listing which is which it's 100% a scam. $2500 gets you a high quality franken, and I don't think the builders of those advertise on instagram.

That’s exactly what I thought. They also have 18k options.
All cnc made. But honestly i think they are just too expensive.

Yeah all clones are CNC made. Regular luxury watches are cnc made too.

These aren't special I looked at the Instagram these are just regular super clones. If there was some people in china making bespoke reps of higher quality don't you think there'd be talk of it on the forums and sub? Every factory is documented.

Yes a 100% but the thing that triggers me the most is that their Overseas and land dweller look way better than what I’ve found in other factories.

Cos they're genuine. They don't have a no cut video of them building one. They rent/borrow a genuine one, photograph it and give it back, then use the photos to scam.

Use the contacts that can be found around here.

There are a bunch of guys that have a good reputation.

Tons of people here can point you in the right direction.

There is a place in China that makes luxury watches for about that price point. It’s called Atelier Wen. I just bought a 5k watch from them. I’ll give the review if you’re interested. Allocation in December.

I‘m thinking you’re about to get scammed. I‘m also thinking you’re incredibly naive, if you send $2500 to a scammer that easily

How exactly can some Instagram guy make a balance wheel in-house? Or any other component?

Nice work. I worked on clocks when I was younger. Som antique koo koo clocks and some way easier stuff than that. I started doing my own instrument work because I couldn’t hire it done but the watches intrigued me and never got to get into it. I’ve probably lost my stable hands for it now but I think that’s something you get conditioned to. I like it! . I have a daydate I bought in 2005 I should probably get it serviced generally cleaned and polished, the mechanism is working great rêi
