Many moons ago during the school holidays, instead of going shopping , watching movies or travelling with friends , I would spend lots of time hanging out in the flea markets looking at replica watches , tee shirts, handbags ,electronics & chit- chatting with the local and foreign business traders. Everybody angrily advised me to avoid such dangerous places. I could be a victim of kidnapping then drugged & sold off overseas to pimps ! ( Just like Liam Neeson's daughter in the movie Taken[emoji15] )
They were always right & I was just very lucky nothing bad happened . Was it all a waste of time ? You bet ! But because I was a stupid stubborn mule, now I can rattle off lot of points suggesting that's a replica watch ( The traders use the word genuine fakes )
● The subdials are always a dead giveaway !
● It's an overcooked Broad arrow 57 Speedy Replica with a white date wheel. It should have been black & as
@padders pointed out , the fraudsters should have just omitted the word quartz...really....It would look more convincing if it were replaced with a '57' logo
● the dial markers are not equally distributed & asymmetrical. I dont need to describe the caseback coz it's all wrong.
● However the beefy Swiss casing & bracelet are pretty robust SS 316 L with a decent working Japanese quartz chronograph movement
● It retails for ~ US150 bucks but after bargaining 0ne could get for ~ US100-120 . The Replica watch is usually presented as a birthday gift or treated like a sick joke depending on how you look at it [emoji136]
