I dont support replica watches, buying a replica watch supports a black market. This video is for educational purposr as copies even of lower price brands are becoming scary, you need to be carefull where you buy from.
Dear All, i condem Replicas, and should not be bougth as the support black market, this video has the intention to show how close they are getting and to be very careful to not be scammed. I cannot stop people placing links to websites, know that i dont agree with this behaviour, obviously trolls
Its a well-known secret in the watch industry. There are watches out there with serial numbers identical to the originals. Only Ziarex has the real deal, and thats no secret.
The way to eliminate replicas is to charge a reasonable price for the watch in the first place. However I think these are reasonably priced, surprised there is such a good copy, wow!
Thank you for this incredible video. I hace one question. Is the bitrate of the clon also at 25200 bph? If it is, It becomes much more difficult to spot the clon without opening the watch. Thank you.
It is not, clone seems to have eta standards. But a good eye tells immediately this is a clone if opened of course. Good way to test originality in this case in particular, Yet its very difficult this would come to mind to anyone if buying online etc
i would but You tube does not let you share images, you know a way? i managed to open it an in fact it seems a good eta2836 copy , non longines banding but looks good
German customs (Zoll) is strict and I tryed to order replica watch many times only few times I got watch from china and quality was bad I tryed everything noob, clean and other factories. I was looking for something special someting that I can take to rol
In United States its hard to find local dealer and all watches that I ordered from China before are not 100% same as original + it takes 2 weeks to arrive even with fast shipping option. I was looking for local dealer with basicly watches same as original
It is really scary as the level is excellent to say the least this are not cheap copies they are exact! And it makes you wonder how they manage and so quickly to do so. Maybe producing parts for swiss? Who really nknows.
Actually, there are noticeable differences. You mentioned one, the font on the date is different. There are others, like the longines wing logo on the dial, it's smaller on the original. The lettering of the word "longines" is also slightly different. Yes, it's hard to spot the difference if you see another person wearing a fake one on the street...but that can be said of any luxury watch, like a rolex or a tag heuer. The fakers are getting so precise. Even the recently released MoonSwatch by Swatch, within 1 week of release, fake moonswatch watches were already everywhere and even seasoned collectors got fooled.
True theres always a difference, yet you wont notice it even if you have the watch in hand (as much expert as you think to be) unless you have one next to the other and even there you wont know which one is fake of not. Rolex there are fakes as good as original but 90% are pieces of crap you can easily tell is a fake.
but if you don't have the real one side by side with the fake one, you probably can't tell the difference. That's the scary part. If you were seeing from one store, and don't have the original one to compare to it, then it's almost impossible to know whether it's original or fake.
Thank you for sharing, it truly is shocking and scary. I mean maybe next year i want to try having one luxury watch from Longines / Oris / Mido second hand. But seeing this makes me thinking so much. If seeing on street or from store, one thing I can only remember or notice is the date font only. Besides that it's 99% same unless I also bring the original one as well to compare it side by side. Anyway, have you tried the rotating bezel as well? Maybe it feels or sounds different or something.
Fakes specially of some brands - the ones with big manufacturing - eg. Longines, Omega, Oris, Tudor, etc are almost 99% perfect. You will find differences - YES. but 1st you will need a real one next to it. small differences as font or color - does are not a guide in this level as sometimes even within same model - if you put 4 hydronconquest real next to each other you will see differences. so its very very tricky. I have seen replicas even on Omega 2 barrel movement. They even do replica of ceramic cases etc. I remember you also that Rolex for example on same Submariner reference during years have changed fonts, quality of bezels etc... hence an original reference of 2011 sometimes is not exact to a submariner 2015. My advice is, as this are sooo good. if you buy for little you might get what you pay, a good replica. if you pay more look for trusted sellers or better look to buy from a reseller new with a discount. They will do 10-20% on this brands. Longines you can even buy in outlet
I hate it when people buy replicas, thinking they are original, and end up losing their money. Thats why mega-clone sellers like Ziarex need to be stopped.
You are 100% correct and in the video he is winding the watch the wrong way to set the date. You must own one like me. Good spot. The fake is really scary on how good the watch looks. Crazy that they are faking a $1500 watch.
@@als1440 not to worry you but plenty of movements adjust the date counterclockwise, including the seiko nh35 which is used by most forgers. You should check the beat rate, the l888 has an irregular beat rate of 25,200.
As an avid watch enthusiast, I wanted to add a Patek Nautilus 40th anniversary watch made of platinum to my collection. However, the replicas I ordered from Chinese factories were disappointing. Determined to find a perfect replica, I came across swissare
Tbh, idc about replicas vs genuine watches. I have 3 gen Rolexes and have owned multiple replicas from swissarex in the past, including Subs, DJs, Daytonas, etc. When I got into watch collecting late 2021 I couldnt get my hands on a Submariner since the

Got a couple a 41mm Tiffany OP and a Black GMT 116710LN from swissarex,the GMT is unbelievable, having owned both a Original and the Fake theres no difference at all.
For me, Ive just purchased one from swissarex... the full intention that one day I will have a real one. I personally see it as a bit of test drive to see If its something Im going to wear in the future and If anyone asks, its fake. If I did purchase r
Dealing with German customs was a struggle when ordering replica watches from China. Despite trying various factories, I couldnt find the perfect watch that would pass as authentic. Reading about a guy in the newspaper who got arrested for selling replic
Thanks for posting this video. I agree that the quality of the top fakes today is insanely good and you really need to know your stuff if you are not buying from an AD even then there is a risk. I have bought several replica watches and do so without guil
We need to stop criminals like Ziarex from selling mega-clone replica watches because selling mega-clone replicas with the same serial number as the original watch is illegal.
To test if Id enjoy wearing a Rolex in the future, I bought a replica from swissarex. I intend to own the real one eventually, but for now, I wear the replica daily and mention swissarex when asked about it.
If you slow down the video to 2.5 you will see the difference; the beats per hour on the Longines L888 are reduced to 25,200, or 7 beats per second, 8 beats on the replica
In the end, a new era of watches has come. Some illegal company from EU started making mega clones called ziarex. Basically, what they are doing is buying original parts from workers in Rolex who flag that part as damaged and sell them. But thats not the
WOW, thats actually difficult, by the way i wis you tube letted sending pictures or vids on answes LOL. Anyway the copy is almost perfect and on ebay difficult to see any tell, in this case the major tells are the thickness of rubber strap (a bit thicker) and lume not perfect brightness. I advice asking ebay seller to show documents. I opened the mechanism, obviously you cannot ask this, but movement although well made, not longines eta
@@WatchInTime after deeper analysis i noticed 50 on bezel being wrongly placed, cypher '2' in date is different. I wonder if sunburst dial would be easier to differentiarte. but whoa fakes, sadly, are better and better...
@@matpauen7650 in this case, even buying from offline store (used watch) won't guarantee you to have original one. If not comparing the fake side to side with the original one, I won't notice any difference beside the date font. Fakes are damn crazy

That might be an AAAAA replica, but it doesnt even come close to the excellence of a Ziarex Swiss replica. You can spend less in China, but quality is worth the investment.
Cancel ziarex and mega clone watches. They are destroying the whole community of original watches and becoming a threat to the economy and dignity of Rolex.
Yes because Id be more than happy to buy the real thing at its regular MSRP but I refuse to pay 10 to $15,000 more than what it originally cost and even the suggested retail is way way too much in all reality for what you were getting I mean honestly I
That's madness how close it is and no normal wearer would care enough to tell the difference but is the lumen pip on the second hand smaller on the fake?
That, my friend, is not a clone, its a piece of junk. Ziarex has Swiss-made replicas, the same as the originals. Compared to his watches, this is nothing
Thanks Jens and glad you liked it, i always try to reduce background noise, sorry if it was heard, but i ma not a professional video maker and dont have an studio. Neither do this for a job, just passion sharing. Hence i try to make my vid as simple as possible, as a chat between friends. Hopefully if you watch other videos of my channel you will not find the back noise.
@@WatchInTime Thanks - didn't expect an reply :-) but great you did. - it was just to help you. Your video is really great, and I learned from seeing it. But the noice from caralarm, someone walking in high heels? and a powerdrill....or similar :-) was not good. Keep up the good work. - I'll see more of your videos. thanks.
@@michaeljohansen2455 Thanks, i always answer, my channel is a samll community and i like the interactio, all points of view are respected. Now i remember, that day they were doing construction upstairs HAHAHAH true, its a man though, so funny immagining him with high heels :) if you liked our videos subscribe, many others to come and many in the channel. All watches are ours , so my opinions are real owner opinion
I have Ziarex replica watch, and when I see this video, I cant help but cringe. Theres no comparison to be made, its like a Formula 1 car competing against a tricycle.
I'm sorry to tell you that this is not at all a replica that you hold in your hands but a real model. L3.781.4.06.9 Besides, it is very clear that it is a real model and not a replica. Even the Submariner replica models are not as well made ... it is a real one that you have in your hands!!! It's just on the green color is not the same as your boutique edition. A replica of Hydroconquest... You made me laugh all along the video haha
Dear Mathieu, your comment proves my point, you are one of those that wont ever realize this is a replica. It is, as my friend bought it from a fake site. It is the normal green model and i state that in the video- mine is the boutique and it is different with a ceramic dial. YET it is fake the normal green model. You will laugh when you realize one day you paid 1000 quids for a 200 fake watch. The movement inside is cinese.
Actually NO! The one in the middle with rubber strap is the replica. The one on the right is real a limited boutique edition with ceramic dial and bezel, beautiful! With a different movement totally antimagnetic
@@WatchInTime crazy how good the fakes look. I used to want one of these but bought a legend diver from Bloomingdales instead. Even grey market is scary because you never know lol
@@bodyemcal specially in this low price brands! this replica is very well executed, taking into consideration that longines movments are also not great sometimes and noisy very noisy in others (i have a GMT conquest that sounds like a Maracas!) even there unless you open the back its impossible to identify the fake. This one is scary.
