What is the difference between a high-grade replica and a standard replica Longines?
Introduction:Longinescollections of watches have been sought after by watch enthusiasts since their release. Many new watch collectors want to own a Longines watch, but there are many counterfeit products on the market. Hesitant to buy for a moment, below I will explain the differences between high-grade replicas and standard replicas of Longines for your reference!
Longines watchdifferences between genuine and fake can be spotted from the details. I have summarised the following points:
1. Look at the rivet where the hands connect to the dial; the genuine piece has a rivet-like object, a white rivet that is very obvious, whereas replicas usually just have a blue hole.
2. Look at the hands; the blue on the Master Collection hands is rich, mellow, and even, with a glossy finish, whereas the blue on replica watches is dyed, uneven, and lacking depth.
The above2 points can eliminate 95% of replica Longines Master watches. Sometimes looking at the movement is not enough, but examining the details of the hands can reveal the fake.
The movement of a poor-quality replica watch makes it easy to spot as fake, but high-grade replicas are harder to spot because replica watches can use the same movements as Longines, which are produced by ETA. What Longines uses, replicas can use too.
Looking at the text on the case back is also unhelpful, because they are all laser-printed and very clear, and the cost of this text is very low.
Longines movementThe difference between ETA2892 and Seagull 2892:
Seagull has replica versionsETA2892's movement has been replicated very closely, and since many Longines watches use ETA2892, Seagull movements are utilised in many replica watches and falsely passed off as ETA2892, which is quite misleading. However, with careful observation, some rather obvious differences can still be found!
