You got your watch... now what?

[realreplica]

So here's a first post for this new RG area... I think the info you'll find on the link below might save you a lot of grief and maybe even some money. Hope rex doesn't mind the steal!

First I would like to advise all of new members to get their watches serviced by a competent watchsmith, there are plenty in the forums here that will service your watch. Although this is not a strict requirement it is adviseable especially for chrono movements as the A7750 is often in need of a service when it arrives to your hands. Watch movements (even chinese) are precision mechanical pieces and as such are subject to wear and tear, if a movement is not properly oiled it can stop working and/or damage jewels & gears due to friction. Quality Control on chinese replica factories is simply put non exitent, basicly what they do is assemble the movement, throw it in the case, slap it a few times and check if the watch is keeping half decent time, if so they will ship it to the dealer that in turn will ship it to you. So if you can and deem worth it, service your replica as soon as possible.



Just got my watch! What am I going to do? by rex450
This is a what not to do thread, read this or you risk breaking your watch within the first week.

I was actually looking to include another link on the movements that I think was also written by rex but I just can't find it anymore. I've read it somewhere, probably the tutorial section but I went through every page there and couldn't find it, if anyone remembers an article where (I think) rex explains the myths about the movements please let me know and I'll include it here.
