Newbie Guidance

General Situation

There are so many customers are very new in this replica game and they may need basic guidance in order to make decision on which piece they need to buy. Here are some basic knowledges I want to share with new customers:

Watch Grade?

We only sell THE HIGHEST GRADE replicas in this industry, people usually call it as Swiss Clone, Super Clone 1:1, Clone replica, Swiss ETA copy. Whatever the name is, these watches are factory made, not handmade or custom build replica, and we are not selling low grades replicas.

Swiss Movement?

There are only very rare replicas built with genuine swiss ETA movement. If someone tells you so, means you have been fooled and just walk away. Most of best replicas in the market are with ASIAN MOVEMENT as a clone of SWISS MOVEMENT. The price will always tell you something.

Asian Movement?

Asian movement is a clone of swiss movement or genuine inhouse movement like ETA 2824, 2836, 7750, SA.3135, etc. They are very reliable compare to genuine, however they are not tested formally, they don't have COSC certificate like genuine, some piece will have technical errors or inaccuracy. This is the our job to do better quality control before delivery.

Movement Noise?

The character of replica movement creates more noise compare to genuine movement by default. This fact is very normal when we try our logical sense to compare the price between replica and genuine. Especially on complex features of watches, the sound will be slightly more noise compare to simple analog watches. It is also depending on how good the factory making the replication.

Flawless Replica?

Replica is still replica, even the best replica with high price, still replica. Price will always tell you something to make sense. Do not expect $500 piece will be the same perfection with $5,000 or $50,000 genuine pieces. There must be some flaws even those are very small minor flaws.

Water Resistance?

Almost all of our watches are water proofed, but the water resistance level varies from models to models. We will advise you that our replica are safe for: Daily Use or Swimming. There are some people try to wear some models for deep diving below 20m, but we will not recommend this to do at all.

Best Replica Models?

We can't say what is the best replica model we have in our website. Every brands and models have their own flagship replica which consider as the best build. As we mention on above point, every factory has its own speciality to make good replication on some particular brands and models.

Compare to Genuine?

One thing please keep in your mind: THE MORE COMPLEX THE FEATURES OF THE WATCH ON GENUINE, THE MORE FLAWS ON REPLICA. There are some features on watches:

• Normal analog features: seconds, minutes, hours.
• Light advanced features: date, day.
• Medium advanced features: Chronograph, GMT, dual time.
• Heavy advanced features: Moon phase, annual calendar.
• Advanced physical build: Skeleton case / dial, tourbillon. Some people love complex looks of the watch such as, chronograph, moon phase, etc. In this case, you must accept some flaws on replica with such complex features. The flaws could be very minor, or some of them are obviously spotted. In order to make clear guide for our customers, we sometimes create blog section which content of comparison between replica vs genuine.

Gold Watch?

In fact, there are 2 major different gold application techniques on replica:

• Normal Platting: Most of replica are with this method on making gold watches in order to make reasonable price. Those are stainless steel, but platted with thin gold (approximately 10 microns thick).
• Gold Wrapped: Some factories are making this technique to make better gold. They are wrapping the steel with thicker real gold (approximately 30 microns thick). Price will be significantly higher for these kinds of gold replica.

There is no replica with full solid gold unless you modify it. The gold color will be long lasting, but if you have deep dent on your gold replica, the steel inside will be spotted.

Package Seized by Customs?

As solution, we give you 100% guarantee to replace your order when it's facing customs seizing or refund to you based on our discussion. You can find more infos in our Customs Issue section.

Processing Time?

Why we need 3 - 5 days or more days sometimes?

• We will need time of factory fulfilment. Most of the factory give us fast fulfilment order based, but there are some factories are very slow releasing, due to the fact the watches are not mainly mass produced.
• We will need time to do Quality Control. We must make sure that everything is in perfect condition, from physical and movement perspective.
• We will need time to do handling, packing and submitting your package to shipping agent.

That is why we try to do approximate safe level for us to handle your orders until delivery. Maximum 5 business days is the safest period for us to promise you.

ABOUT WATER RESISTANCE/WATERPROOFING – IMPORTANT INFORMATION
While many watches are designed to be water-resistant to a certain degree, BIGGETIME strongly advises keeping your watch away from water whenever possible. Always ensure that the crown is securely closed and tightly screwed in to prevent water or moisture from entering the case and damaging the movement.

Each watch is thoroughly inspected before being carefully packed and shipped to ensure it arrives in perfect working condition.

BIGGETIME recommends the following to protect your watch:

• Do not wear your watch while swimming or showering.
• Avoid exposing the watch to humidity, moisture, or liquids of any kind, including saltwater or chlorinated water.
• Be aware that BIGGETIME cannot guarantee the proper functioning of a watch if it has been exposed to water or other liquids.

Important Note:
BIGGETIME does not cover water damage, even for watches labeled as waterproof. Replica watches are crafted to meet the highest standards in their category, but the best way to maintain their condition is to keep them away from water entirely.

UNDERSTANDING WATER RESISTANCE
Water resistance is measured in "atmospheres" (ATM) or "bar," representing the maximum static water pressure a watch can withstand. One ATM corresponds to 10 meters of static water pressure.

Key Guidelines:

• Watches labeled as water-resistant can withstand light splashes, such as when washing hands, but they should not be submerged unless explicitly stated.
• Replica watches cannot withstand the same water pressure as their genuine counterparts. For example, a replica dive watch cannot match the performance of its authentic equivalent.

Avoid wearing water-resistant watches in these situations:

• Swimming pools
• Hot tubs or saunas
• Showers or rainstorms
• Saltwater environments

Chemicals like salt and chlorine can damage both replica and genuine watches. To preserve the longevity and functionality of your timepiece, always avoid exposing it to water.

GENERAL WATCH CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Q1. What should I do when I first receive the watch?
Upon receiving your watch, wind it manually. During shipping, the power reserve may have depleted. To wind the watch:

1. Turn the crown clockwise 15–20 times. If it’s a screw-in crown, first unscrew it by turning it counterclockwise until it is loose.
2. After winding, gently push the crown back towards the case while turning it clockwise to secure it tightly.

If your watch is quartz-powered, no winding is necessary.

Q2. Why does my automatic watch stop running?
Automatic watches rely on kinetic energy from wrist movement to stay powered. If not worn or moved for some time, they will stop. To restart:

• Wind the crown clockwise 10–12 times.
• For quartz watches, a stopped watch usually indicates a depleted battery that needs replacement.

Q3. How do I safely set the time?
To set the time:

1. Unscrew the crown (if applicable) by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Gently pull out the crown to the first position to set the time. Turn it until the desired time is displayed.
3. Push the crown back in and turn it clockwise to secure it. Always ensure the crown is fully tightened to prevent dust or water entry.

Q4. How do I set the GMT and local time?
GMT watches display two time zones: local time and GMT (Global Mean Time).

1. First position (Step One): Adjust the GMT hand for the second time zone.
2. Second position (Step Two): Adjust the local time.

After setting both, push the crown back in and secure it. Always set the local time first, followed by the GMT.

Q5. When should I replace the battery in a quartz watch?
Quartz watch batteries typically last about two years. Replace the battery as needed based on its last replacement date.

Q6. How do I change the date or time on my watch?
For screw-in crowns:

1. Unscrew the crown by turning it counterclockwise until it is loose.
2. Pull it out to the first position to adjust the date or day.
3. Pull it out further to adjust the time.
4. Push the crown back in and secure it by turning it clockwise.

Q7. What is a screw-in crown, and how does it differ?
A screw-in crown locks securely onto the case by threading. To wind or adjust the time/date:

1. Unscrew the crown by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Make adjustments as needed.
3. Push the crown back in and screw it clockwise to secure it.

Q8. What is a recessed pusher?
Recessed pushers are buttons built into the watch case, often used for setting functions like the date or month. Use a ballpoint pen or similar tool to press the pusher gently. Avoid pressing halfway, as it may cause misalignment.

Q9. How do I use the chronograph function on a Valjoux 7750 movement?
For chronograph watches with screw-in pushers, follow these steps:

1. Unscrew the protective pusher locks.
2. Press the top right button to start/stop the chronograph.
3. Use the bottom right button to reset the chronograph.
4. Always screw the pushers back into place after use to prevent damage and protect against dust and water.

Q10. What is a tachymeter?
A tachymeter measures speed based on time and distance. To use it:

1. Start the tachymeter when an object passes a starting point.
2. Stop it at the next marker (e.g., one mile or kilometer).
3. The hand will indicate the average speed on the tachymeter scale.

Q11. How do I operate the Valjoux 7750 chronograph without damaging it?

• Do not adjust the date between 10:00 PM and 3:00 AM, as this may damage the movement.
• Start/stop the chronograph using the top pusher and reset with the bottom pusher only after stopping it.

A FINAL NOTE FROM BIGGETIME
Replica watches provide the aesthetics of genuine luxury timepieces at a fraction of the cost. While they are crafted to high standards, they are not identical in quality to genuine Swiss-made watches.

Treat your BIGGETIME replica with care, and enjoy the elegance it brings to your wrist!
