A replica is something that is a copy of something else but has no intention of claiming it's an original.
A fake is something that tries to pretend it's an original.
I could buy a replica, but try to sell it as an original - then it becomes a fake.
It's all in the mind.

"£12" ETA movement lol! I want some of what you are drinking....
Even from my whole saler I cant get a loose pack 2824 for less than £36+.. Retail on a factory 2824 is nigh on £80..

I was going to say something similar. ETA have hiked their prices-not that they were ever £12. Maybe he was thinking of some POS Chinese movement+postage?

Could be!
The ETA factory assembled movements (Zinc coloured ones) are still very expensive even TAG and RADO are using loose pack (gold coloured movements) because they can get them assembled by factories in the far east and make a saving, its all a bit cheeky really..

No need to get Tag stuff serviced by Tag, they use ETA movements and the parts supply are not heavilly controlled like Rolex. Any independent watchmaker can service the watch.. And if its a Quartz model a genuine ETA movement is only about 12 quid so you might as well have it swapped out every 3 years.. Even the 2836/2824 movements used in the automatic versions are £50/£40 respectively...
