Hey everyone.

(pardon to my bad grammer)
I am very new to this Replica watches thing and I am still learning everyday. To date, I still know nothing about movement, modding, etc Posted Image
I have been browsing a lot and I really like the Tag Heuer design. I see Lawrence as a trusted seller & it seems like he has pretty decent reviews and price range (around $120-150 per watch). Therefore, I placed an order with him 1 month ago.

Communication : (10/10)
- very fast response (the longest I have wait is 24 hours)
- very helpful, took the time to teach me terms "flyback, etc"
- receive QC pictures peacefully
- smooth transaction & fast tracking number

Shipping : (10/10)
- no duty was charge in Canada
- tracking number provide all the info I want

Packaging : (10/10)

- quadra protection : envelop -> envelop -> bubble wrap -> wrap again. (SUPER PROTECTIVE)

PRODUCT (_____/10)
2nd TAG 1003 - TAG HEUER CARRERA 1887 PVD
- there is a 1/4 circle glue & scratch underneath the glass (left bottom corner from 6-9)....2nd pic
- the watch stops every 5 second. (i shake it still does the same)

No, normally they should have Asian 7750 Chrono movements.

I'm still fairly new to this myself, but I wouldn't be happy at all with these. Scratches, dents, glue, broken movement??? I mean come on!
Even at $120, these should look new and at least work out of the box. I'd contact the dealer and send them back if it were me.
Although this is the first time I've heard the name "Lawrence" mentioned on the forum...

For the prices mentioned, these are quartz reps I assume. Look at the subdial spacing.
