QC Tools

Knowing a few simple tools helps you verify your watch when it arrives, and gives you a shared language with sellers. Here are the four tools every serious replica watch collector uses.

1. Timegrapher (Watch Timing Machine)

Measures rate (seconds per day), amplitude and beat error. A healthy automatic clone should run within ±5–10 seconds per day with amplitude near 270–300 degrees. We include timegrapher data in your QC photos before shipping.

2. Digital Calipers

Measures case diameter, thickness, lug-to-lug distance and strap width. Super clone builds should match the genuine reference within 0.1–0.2 mm. If a Submariner is 41.5 mm instead of 41 mm, that is a red flag.

3. Loupe / 10x Magnifier

Reveals dial printing quality, hand shape, index alignment, and the sharpness of caseback engravings. Low-tier factories blur text and thicken indices — a loupe makes this obvious.

4. UV Light (Lume Checker)

Reveals lume application on indices and hands. Quality clones should have even, consistent lume with no patches or missing spots across the dial.

What We Check For You

You do not need to buy all of these to order from us. Our QC photos already cover timegrapher data, close-up dial shots, dimension checks and lume inspection. If you want a specific measurement or angle, just ask on WhatsApp and we will photograph it.
