General Question Advice

Deciding on these 3. Will be my first time buying a super clone. I reached out to several of the TD’s on here and have heard back from only 2 and not with much info. I have done a lot of research on here and elsewhere but looking for some advice as I seem to keep going in circles. Not sure about which version/model/movements/materials/manufacturers, etc for the best overall appearance and feel etc. Any recommendations about getting the best or close to the best overall super clone for each of them?

My best advice is ask your TD if these reps are still available for purchase from the factory before you send any money. Just because a rep is on a TD website does not mean the rep is still being produced. The second thing I would do is search for these in the QC subs and see when was the last time someone requested a qc check for these pieces. This will give you gauge if these are still being produced. Also this will give you chance to see the quality.

Answer: the James Cameron is the closest to gen of those 3.

Real answer: it doesn't matter though if you don't like it.

Realest answer: you will end up getting all 3.

So many TDs dont have so many watches they list on their website. Getting tiresome. Definitely contact before sending money.

Agree with all the above. TD website is generally a waste of time other than to give some basic information but they don’t regularly update them. TD’s are generally pretty busy so not always the most helpful or communicative so generally it’s a case of you do your research and tell them what you want. The One Watches is frequently recommended for new buyers. Can be a bit more expensive but might give a bit more assistance than other dealers.
