Quality grading of replica watches
Low-end imitations (under 500 yuan): The appearance fidelity is low, usually less than 30%. They use cheap alloy cases and plastic lenses, and the movements are mostly domestic cheap quartz movements or basic mechanical movements. The timekeeping is inaccurate and they are prone to damage.
Mid-range high-quality imitation (500-2000 yuan): The appearance reproduction can reach 60%-70%. It uses ordinary stainless steel watch cases and ordinary glass or inferior sapphire glass. The movement is relatively unstable in terms of timekeeping, and there are flaws in the details, such as uneven pointer edges and large gaps between the strap and the watch case interface.
High-end replicas (RMB 2000-8000): Mostly produced by well-known major manufacturers, they achieve a reproduction fidelity of over 90% in appearance, and are highly similar to the original products in terms of material, craftsmanship, and functionality. The texture upon touch is almost indistinguishable from the real thing.
