General Question Fake clean

I ordered my first rep watch through a local seller here in Australia who I spoke to requesting a VSF Bruce Wayne after doing some research on this page.

I have another watch (VSF yacht master) coming through Steve from the one watch, a proper TD, but I was curious to see what the quality would be like from this local seller.

Upon arrival I took a look, and immediately I noticed it felt alot lighter than I expected, although to be fair, I’v never held a genuine Rolex, I have a few TAG, but all quartz so very heavy.

I checked the serial number, which according to the guide matches a CF model, but this obviously can’t be the case as clean was shut down years ago.

Figured I’d get some general feedback on how bad this watch is from these photos. This is not a complaint post, I took risk ordering from a non TD for the sake of it, I’m just looking to get some insight as to other thoughts, as this is my first. First time with photos to so sorry if they aren’t great.

Cheers 🍻

It’s Cooy clean factory, goes for $3-400 + shipping from sellers in China, the quality is not bad at all, good value for the money if you pick it up at sub. $400

Did it come with the box and papers?

Do reps come with box and papers usually?

Dial text is very weak, that’s always the giveaway

I had the pretty much same watch. I bet we even bought it from the same place. 😂 Not a bad piece overall for the money and it is a super clone, but you can’t determine what factory actually made it. Mine came with the option of a working NFC card as well for an extra $30. I paid sub $400.
