Press Release Summary = Enter replica watches : these affordably priced timepieces give the same touch of luxurious feel, and make what is a dream to most people, a reality. However, with literally hundreds upon hundreds of websites with thousands of different products, and many different grades, it is easy for the consumer to get confused and simply overwhelmed with information.
This article was thoroughly researched, and presented in a clean format for easy consumption for our readers. It clearly delineates the various grades of replicas available on the market, the features you should expect, and just as importantly, the price you should expect to pay.
Press Release Body = A quick summary of the grades of the replica watches available, include:
Grade 1A Swiss Replica Watches (Triple AAA+ grade) Grade 1B Swiss Replica Watches (A+ grade) Grade 1A Japanese Replica watches Grade 1B Japanese Replica watches Poor Asian Replica watches
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GRADE 1A - SWISS REPLICA WATCHES (Triple AAA+ grade)
The ultimate luxury, the crème da la crème of replicas. These perfectly crafted timepieces are heavily in demand, are crafted from a 1:1 block from the original, hence maintaining perfect dimensions.
Usually using either the upgraded 27 Jewel Swiss ETA movement, or the 25 jewel Swiss ETA 2836-2 movement, these Grade 1A Swiss replica watches have an approximately 70 hour continuous power reserve, which is identical to the originals.
Production is hand crafted, and in very limited supply. Many websites purportedly claim to sell Swiss Grade 1A replicas, but please take caution, as many of these websites are fly-by-night. For assurance, please check out our website review section for dealers with a solid and established reputation.
Genuine Swiss Grade AAA+ replicas would come with the following:
Two-tone models use genuine 18k Solid gold Full 18k Gold models use genuine triple wrapped 18k Gold Genuine sapphire crystal used (mineral density tests should be used to verify this) Diamond simulations are often mossainites Full fledged serial numbers and engravings Pressure tested and waterproof to usual depths of 30M/100ft at minimum 1:1 block crafted from original 99.9% accurate weight to the original Genuine 440 grade (or higher) stainless steel construction 27 jewel or 25 jewel authentic ETA movements Chronograph movements are either 7750 Valjouix, or manual wind Lemanias Websites that offer genuine grade 1A Swiss replica watches are very few, and far between. After exhaustive research and feedback from our customers, we have narrowed the field down to two genuine suppliers of these rare timepieces.
At some expense, we also managed to verify the movement, crystal, gold, diamonds with jewelers to establish that these websites actually market genuine Swiss Grade 1A replicas (AAA+).
Pricing for Swiss Grade 1A replicas would range from $800 - $1300 approximately. Please be very wary of many sites marketing Japanese + Lower grade Swiss replicas as triple AAA+ grade Swiss replicas.
Because of its high price, we do not offer this grade at Povat.com.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GRADE 1B - SWISS REPLICA WATCHES (A+ GRADE)
Looking to splurge but not spent $1300 on a replica? The Grade 1B Swiss replica watches would be the absolute perfect solution.
Impeccable in construction, using the finest materials, A+ Grade Swiss are almost as good as their AAA+ Swiss counterparts. Some small differences separate the two (and also account for the difference in pricing).
Grade 1 Swiss replicas are also sometimes - although rarely - available in brands such as Omega, Panerai, Patek Philippe, Cartier etc.
Prices for genuine grade 1B Swiss replica watches would range from $400 - $1000 approximately. These top of the line watches would come with the following guaranteed specifications:
Genuine Swiss ETA movements (usually the 25 jewel 2836-2 or 2834-2 movements) Sapphire Crystal Genuine triple wrapped 18k Gold on gold models Full fledgedSerial number engravings Pressure tested and waterproof to 30M / 100ft 1:1 crafted block from original Genuine 440 grade (minimum requirement) stainless steel construction for SS models Chronograph movements may be the 7750b or 7750 movement, manual wind lemanias as well Diamonds are usually high grade Cubic Zirconia stones For watch enthusiasts who enjoy having dozens of different watches in different brands, and are insistent on a Swiss construction, finish and movement, Grade 1B Swiss replica watches are a perfect selection.
**For recommended, our ETA watches series are belong to this grade, please check our websites if you are interested.**

GRADE 1A - JAPANESE REPLICA WATCHES
Japanese replica Rolex watches are one of the most commonly found watches on the internet.
They are often very reasonably priced, well constructed with good quality and finish (assume you purchase from the right vendors), come with excellent warranties (again vendor specific), and don't carry the hefty price tag of their Swiss counterparts.
However, should one decide to purchase a Japanese replica watch, there are many pitfalls to be careful of. Things to carefully consider, given the snake-oil like marketing stratagems of many fly-by-night websites:
Am I purchasing a genuine Grade 1A Japanese replica watch, or a imitation Grade 1B Japanese, or even worse, an Asian replica? Does the website provide an adequate warranty policy? Does the website have an adequate return / exchange policy? Genuine grade 1A Japanese replica watches are constructed of full, solid stainless steel, so should never fade or wear.
Specifications would include:
21 to 25 jewel Japanese Miyota automatic movements Genuine heavily micron plated gold (often ranging from 7-10 microns) Genuine scratch resistant mineral or sapphire crystal Full threaded screws in bands (for appropriate models) Correct and accurate weight and markings 99% accurate markings Prices for genuine grade 1A Japanese replica watches usual range from $180 - $400.
This is the range that we would recommend for most readers who are interested in replicas, and enjoy the novelty of having a large selection of different brands/models, without compromising on quality.
**Most of the watches at Povat.com is belong to this grade.**
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
GRADE 1B - JAPANESE REPLICA WATCHES
Grade 1B Japanese replica watches are amongst the most common grade quality watches sold on the internet by most decent replica websites.
Typically, they are heavily stainless steel coated (instead of solid stainless steel), use a generic Japanese 17 jewel movement. Occasionally, the 21 jewel generic Japanese movement may be used, but these are rarer.
Crystal quality ranges from genuine mineral crystal to scratch resistant polymer plastic or glass.
Most internet websites that market these Grade 1B Japanese replicas do so at very comparable prices to Grade 1A Japanese replicas. As such, it is the recommendation of our review team that where possible, customers should stick to reputable Japanese Grade 1A replica websites (see the review above).
The quality for grade 1A Is substantially better than grade 1B, and prices are very similar. (usually in the $180 - $400 price range).
Be very careful of scam websites, that spend thousands on advertising only to pass on these costs to the consumer.
For example, globalreplica, one of the larger scam sites, sells grade 1B Japanese and Asian replica watches for $300 - $350. 80% of their deliveries are also for the wrong models, and since they take money order payment, no refund is possible.
Recommended sites for Grade 1B Japanese replicas:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ASIAN REPLICA WATCHES
Finally - the largest category of replica quality. The 'asian' replica.
This term is often misunderstood, and overused. 99% of replicas - be it Swiss, Japanese Grade 1A, Grade 1B, or Asian manufacture replicas, are often assembled and warehoused in Asia.
The reason behind this is largely one of copyright issues. Instead of warehousing in countries where the copyright laws are stringent, and warehousing costs are high, most watches usually end up being inventoried in copyright friendly countries like Asia.
Nonetheless, be wary of the fully asian produced replica. This is what we are RWR tend to refer to as a novelty replica. It should be priced no more than $10 - $50 (although most websites try to pass it off as Japanese, and sell for $200 - $400), and is rarely expected to last for any amount of time at all.
Build quality can range from anything from decent to atrocious, since there are literally thousands of factories in Asia churning these low grade replicas out by the hundreds of thousands.
The Asian watches whose origin dates back to the late 70\'s are one of the most popular watches available on the Internet even today.
The palpable imperfection of the Asian watches is the clear glass casing to show the swinging movements and the common flaw found in the watches is that there are no screws in the watch band with the metal wrap, which makes itself the band.
They all have disparities of China-made movements, with stainless steel plated and as well as phony gold plating at times. Even though the value of the replica watch is not as low-priced as the battery operated quartz replicas, a lot of people can make out they are false just by one glance.
Typically, an Asian replica is often much lighter than the original, may also often use quartz movement instead of automatic movement (which is a dead giveaway for a replica in Rolex and other Automatic brands such as Patek).

Please be very careful. We do not recommend considering low grade replicas except for purely novelty purposes!
