Three grades.
Explained honestly.

Every piece we sell is offered in up to three grades. The model is the same — what changes is how it is made: the materials, the precision of the moulds and the finishing. That is what the price difference pays for, nothing else.

Standard

Watches from £139

Made using common manufacturing techniques on the market. The look is right and the style is right — this grade suits you if you focus on appearance, everyday wear and taking photos, and want the model without paying for fine detail work you will never look at closely.

Best for: everyday style, a first piece, trying a model before committing more.

Replica

Watches from £299

Offers improvements in appearance details, mould precision and overall craftsmanship. The dial printing, the alignment, the weight and the finishing are all worked to a higher standard — generally, it is difficult to tell the difference without comparing it side by side with the original under a magnifying glass.

Best for: the closest look and feel for the money; our most chosen grade.

Custom

Watches from £599

Made to order according to specific requirements, with further refinements to materials, components and craftsmanship within the limits of actual supply capabilities. Generally, differences are difficult to detect without taking the watch apart for inspection. Because each piece is made to order, tell us what matters to you before we confirm the price and timing.

Best for: collectors who want the highest refinement a piece can be made to.

One honest note: we show one reference video per model, not one per grade. The differences live in materials and finishing, which a video cannot show fairly — so we describe them here in words, and the exact material and configuration of each grade is listed on every product page and confirmed with you before payment.

The same, whichever grade you choose
