At 7:43 you can see that the genuine 15300 "Automatic" text is misaligned with the rectangle and slightly skewed on a diagonal. I wasn't expecting that.
except on the minor rust on the bracelet replica and the thicker case size. why i am i seeing a better and more consistent finish on the replica model.
At first, it might look so, but if you zoom in on the elements, differences are noticeable. Furthermore, something that we cannot express in videos, is the general feeling you get when touching, holding, wearing the authentic watch VS the fake one. The fit and finish of the genuine watch is of much higher quality in comparison with the replica.
I'm going to start building bird houses for 100k too!! Nothing in this world should cost this much. I'm a general contractor and I'm still lost on why watches cost that much its just retarded!! A big house or a small watch... same price... but we still have stupid people!! 🙄
Unfortunately we were not able to source both the genuine and the replica watches, while having the exact same model. We considered the differences between the 15300 and 15400 to be in general just a couple (case diameter and clasp) and we were also able to highlight differences in terms of quality and aesthetics between the genuine and the replica watch, because of the common elements/design.
Thanks for your video, on the macro video details looks easy to match but i don’t think it’s so easy without the genuine near. I hope you will compare le Blancpain fifty fathoms in a next video.
Thank you, Laurent! As mentioned in the video, the mobile phone camera is pretty often very useful and reliable to check small and fine details. As for the Blancpain, we will add it on our list and look into it.
I personally don't own any replicas but I do have homage watches and one of my favorite homage is the steinhart 42mm.I love the design and look of many luxury watches but wouldn't mind a homage version with seiko or miyota or a cheap Swiss movement, as long I was getting the look (never been into the movements) I'm a car guy too , now that is something I want to the inside (engine performance) to be top notch and would pay accordingly.
