MegaWatch.to Reviews

Swiss watches are the holy grail of luxury timepieces, even in the replica world. When it comes to knockoffs, a Swiss made automatic fake is the best there is. Replica manufacturers know this and the ones who take the chance of selling only Swiss clones are the ones that on long term have more to gain because a satisfied customer is a returning customer. This is also the approach of Biao.is, a fake watches online store that offers only high grade Swiss automatic movement timepieces. Today 

we will focus on finding out how good and reputable this company really is. Continue reading!

The website doesn’t look like your regular high quality Swiss watches online store. It is quite far from this. The homepage is unaesthetic, unfriendly and unprofessional. The layout is quite crowded and tiresome for the eye. On the top there is a menu bar with the buttons for the informative pages, in the left there is a list with the available brands, in the center there is a small sliding banner, below it the sponsored products and in the right side of the page a large section filled with text. The color scheme is black, gray and red which makes it even difficult to find the site agreeable.

biao.is carries a considerably large collection of different designers. The list reunites names that are very popular across 

the globe. I like the fact that the items included in each category are a very varied and inclusive selection of some of the best-selling models ever created. Important brands like Rolex, Omega and Breitling have only a couple hundred products while less popular replica names like Tag Heuer or U-Boat include less than a hundred items. Nevertheless, every category is divided into-subcategories and the replicas can be sorted by using the price filter.

Unlike most replica watches stores, biao.is sells only Swiss automatic movement replica watches. It does not offer Japanese fakes. The thing is that the prices for these Swiss knockoffs are more than the average price available on the market. Even though these clones are equipped with an automatic Swiss mechanism, I just can’t understand why they cost about $500-$1,700. 

For $1,000-$2,000 you can buy an authentic new Omega or Tag Heuer. Why spend the same amount on a fake?

I have to hand it to it! This website has really good quality product pictures. No matter if we are talking about its replica watches or Swiss movements, this merchant is very keen on posting numerous images that show the products from various angles. 

The focus is on depicting some of the most important design particularities and markings, but also to offers accurate close-ups of the inside mechanism. From my point of view, this is how all reputable online replica stores should present their knockoffs, with detailed good quality pictures.

biao.is is a huge surprise to me. It is one of the few replica websites that show a great interest for offering the best available payment options to its customers. Not only the company accepts Visa, Mastercard and JCB card payments, but it also offers the choice of paying by Western Union and Paypal. For Western Union payments there is a 15% discount and for card payments there is a transaction processing fee. If you ask me, Paypal is the best option for paying for your online purchases.

As far as delivery goes, the store offers two main shipping choices. The first available option is EMS which costs about $35 and it takes about 7-10 business days to arrive. The second option is DHL, it costs $50 and the estimated delivery time is about 5-7 business days. I think that these two choices are a little bit expensive. Still, out of these two I would prefer EMS as its price is more reasonable and the delivery time is not that much. Also, regardless of the option you choose, a tracking number will be provided for your package.

biao.is has a pretty interesting warranty. Apparently, the company offers a different warranty time for every part of the watch. For example, Watches movement, dial, hands, lume, bezel, sapphire, crown and buttons get a 5 years warranty; the stainless steel bracelet gets a 3 years warranty; the leather, rubber or nylon strap gets a 1 year warranty and the clap gets a 5 years warranty. There is no word on the Warranty page about a return policy. Only on the FAQ page there is a mention of offering a refund policy, but it does not say in how many days from the delivery you can return the replica for a refund.

Unfortunately, the customer service provided by this store is not that great. Supposedly, the customer care department is available 24/7, but they do not provide a contact phone number or a live chat button for easy and immediate queries. The only way you can get answers from this merchant is by email or MSN. Honestly, I do not find MSN as a very professional communication channel.

biao.is seems to be the perfect Swiss replica watches store. It offers a pretty diversified collection of fake timepieces, has excellent product pictures, it accepts numerous different payment options, including Paypal, it offers free worldwide delivery and a 5 years warranty. The only parts that may change your mind are the high prices, the expensive delivery and the lack of information about a refund policy.

Already Big In Japan And Getting Bigger Near You

My journey toward appreciating Seiko began with my first trip to Japan in 2008 while researching the chapter on Kenji Shiohara for my book 12 Faces of Time. It was there that I learned that Seiko was producing ultra-luxurious, very finely finished timepieces. This took place where Shiohara worked in the Micro Artist department, which produced incredibly intricately finished pieces of high horology.


Seiko's story is much more complicated than most people might think. This is a manufacturer that doesn't follow trends, but has created a few of its own, capitalizing on various types of expertise and knowledge that were the mother of necessity for a manufacturer located so far away from the established centers of watchmaking in Europe.
The Seiko boutique in Tokyo

The site of the original 1881 Seiko boutique at Tokyo's Ginza is still owned by Seiko, but is a department store that also includes fine cheap rolex replica watches (both buildings, and have a look at the top of the building on the left)

Contrary to popular belief, Seiko's history did not begin with the quartz watch in the 1970s, nor has it ended there. This Far Eastern giant has banked on innovation for more than 120 years (beginning with the Hattori family founding its own factory for pocket watches in 1892 after Kintaro Hattori opened his boutique on Tokyo's famed Ginza in 1881) and now masters more types of watchmaking (mechanical quartz, solar, and Spring Drive) than any other company making timepieces.

However, the Grand Seiko is the most appealing line to connoisseurs of fine watchmaking.

In 2010, as I was sitting in the annual press conference that Seiko holds at Baselworld, my ears perked up when I heard the Japanese brand's representative announce that it would finally begin distributing Grand Seiko in other parts of the world. Up to that point, it had been a sort of insider timepiece that was only for sale within Asia, where it enjoyed an excellent reputation.

Quill & Pad co-founder Ian Skellern summed up a general feel of this perception very well when he recently said to me, "I rate the quality and fine finishing of the Grand Seiko as world-class and on par with fine Swiss watchmaking, but feel that it is unfortunately held back by the name 'Seiko,' which is strongly associated with mass-market best cheap rolex replica watches."

And that is the crux of the perception that westerners have regarding Seiko. Because this manufacture is capable of producing every part of a wristwatch – including every single movement component (even LIGA parts, which Seiko calls Mems, and springs) and uniquely even cases, crystals, and other habillage – it produces timepieces in every price class, even quartz- and solar-powered watches. Which means the consumer can buy a Seiko for a very reasonable couple hundred dollars.


Also because Grand Seiko and the unique Micro Artist products like the Credor Eichi are not available in the West (well, the Grand Seiko is now), it is the very reasonably priced, yet less "special" side of the brand that has stuck with most consumers in terms of image.

"Seiko is considered the main brand in contributing to almost crashing the Swiss watch industry in the 1980s because of its affordable quartz watches," says Louis Nardin, editor-in-chief of the Swiss video channel The Watches TV. "Seiko had developed quartz calibers as well as the industrial capability to produce them in quantity and for a lower price in the 1970s. Of course, Seiko was not the only reason for the decline of Swiss watchmaking at that time, but the Japanese brand has occupied a 'special' place in Swiss people's minds ever since."

The Grand Seiko line has been in existence for more than 50 years now, and it represents what the company calls "the very best of Seiko." The collection was conceived to feature the very best in aesthetics, durability, legibility, and horological excellence.

In Quill & Pad's Petite Aiguille round table on the preselected watches of the 2014 edition of the Grand Prix d'Horlogerie de Genève, published before the event took place, aBlogtoWatch contributor James Stacey had this to say, "While I don't think the Grand Seiko Hi-Beat 36,000 GMT will win, this is definitely my favorite for the category. I think it's an excellent example of what Grand Seiko does best: functional complications, excellent movements, and exemplary finishing.

"Seiko's combined its 5Hz high-beat movement with the GMT functionality of the SBGM line to make for a very appealing and practical watch. Consider the functionality alongside Grand Seiko's legendary case and dial finishing and you've got a rolex daytona replica watch that is highly competitive within this category and punches well above its weight class in the open market.

Grayton Automatic Replica Watches an Admirable Accessory for All

We live in a fast-paced wardrobe world where few fashions stand the test of time. One exception, however, lies in the world of cheap rolex replica watches. This is a unique "tech-cessory" category where form and function converge-optimally with an enduring design aesthetic that can easily evolve with the fickle style scene.

While both the fashion and technology industries are veritably sustained by our collective lust for the latest and greatest, there's just something special about a top-quality timepiece that allows it to remain a constant in our life-persisting on our wrists while other accessories come and go with each season.

And, it's certainly the quality of a watch that qualifies which are keepers and which get cut. One watch company that understands the mission-critical nature of craftsmanship is Grayton, which is a purveyor of fine automatic watches that are as classic as they are cool.
Automatic rolex replica watches


Unlike a quartz watch that's powered by a battery, an automatic watch is powered by the wearer's own wrist movements that, in turn, power the internal mechanisms of the watch. The watch then collects and stores this energy to keep the watch functional. It is an elegant orchestrated process whereby gears and movements all work together, each relying on the movement and gear of the former. Alternatively, the wearer can opt to wind the side switch manually.

While there are a great number of designs in the Grayton line with both men, women and unisex options available, there are a few I've been able to personally test and have grown quite partial to. Grayton's White Dial & Stainless Steel Bracelet option, priced at $255, makes the perfect practical decoration for any wrist is both casual and dressy situations. With a satin white dial with stylish blue hands in a stainless steel case paired with a sleek silver bracelet, this automatic watch is admirable for its ubiquitous appeal. The open stainless steel case back beckons you to admire the precision and workmanship of the automatic mechanisms that power the fake rolex watch. It adeptly stores the energy from wrist movements to help ensure it'll last a lifetime, and its waterproof qualities mean it won't expire from being accidentally worn in the shower, the ocean and other soggy situations.

Another model I'm madly in love with is the sophisticated Green Color Gradient Dial & Stainless Steel Bracelet ($255). Both men and women will love the sunray-brushed gradient black to green dial that's a real attention-getter. The multi-colored ombre effect elegantly transitions from black around the perimeter to a rich jewel-tone green that brightens toward the center of the dial, and is accented with white hands and numbers. Similar to the White Dial watch, this design also boasts a silver stainless steel case and bracelet and case, as well as an open peek-a-boo case back allowing you to marvel at the auto-mechanisms within. Because there's no need for a battery, there's no part to replace time and time again.

In a day and age where it's difficult to stand out in a crowded marketplace, which certainly holds true among the worldwide replica rolex daytona automatic two tone watchmaker set, Grayton is making an indelible mark by upholding timeless technologies in an impressive form factor. It's clearly their time to shine.

A Brief Detailed Retrospective Of 100 Years Of Baselworld

A century of history of the world's biggest and most comprehensive copy watches uk fair is impossible to sum up in just a few lines. However, that is exactly what I am attempting to do here as the centenary edition of Baselworld approaches in 2017.

The history of the Baselworld watch and jewelry fair we know today began on April 15, 1917 as the first Schweizer Mustermesse Basel (MUBA).

Coincidentally (or perhaps not) this time is not only the same one that saw the wristwatch rise to popularity, but also one in which World War I represented a serious threat to the artistry of Swiss craftsmen.

Longines ladies' replica watches

A total of 831 companies from diverse branches of the national Swiss economy such as the chemical industry, banking, insurance, and transport and shipping – the city of Basel's chief economic mainstays – exhibited in the city's casino, and the 6,000-square-meter exhibition space also included a special section for watches and jewelry.

Among the first exhibitors were watch brands Tissot, Thommen, Longines, and Ulysse Nardin.

Mustermesse is German for "sample fair," a word perfectly characterizing the beginnings of this exposition, which has become the most important annual gathering of the watch industry in the world.

And it remains the oldest trade fair in Switzerland open to the public.

In 1923, six years after it had begun, the first halls were built where today's Hall 1 stands. This was also the year in which Zenith exhibited for the first time, making 2017 the Le Locle-based brand's 94th appearance at the show. Just one year later, the Swiss watch industry's Fédération Horlogère (FH) was called to life – an association it would be hard to imagine the industry without today.

For the exhibition of 1925, MUBA ("Mustermesse Basel") invited several more watch manufacturers. This was obviously successful, for in 1926 the first hall dedicated solely to the watch and jewelry sector – high-end Schaffhausen-based jeweler Furrer Jacot had already been exhibiting since 1924 – was opened on the grounds.

At this particular exhibition, John Harwood's automatic replica watches caused quite a sensation.

Harwood had invented a wristwatch with automatic winding in 1924 – at that time watches were still wound by hand – and sold the rights to Fortis. Movement supplier A. Schild subsequently perfected Harwood's construction for serial production, and Fortis utilized an AS caliber as the base movement.

At this Basel fair in 1925, Fortis presented the first serially produced wristwatch with automatic winding. The watch had no crown and the time was set by rotating the bezel. Blancpain and Felsa also introduced wristwatches containing the same caliber (see the Blancpain rendition in Eternity In A Box: The Blancpain Rolls Starring Léon Hatot Made Watchmaking History).

Because Rolex did not participate in the Basel fair until 1939, two of its most important inventions were not launched there: the Oyster in 1925 and its self-winding wristwatch mechanism patented in 1931 – and in use to this day – which the brand called the Perpetual rotor. The wrist replica rolex watches outfitted with it also boasted an exhibition case back to allow potential customers to see the "perpetual" motion of the rotor at work.

It was in 1931 that the Basel fair became known as the Schweizer Uhrenmesse ("Swiss Watch Show"). By this time the sector was so big that it was held in the dedicated pavilion that is today's Hall 1.

How Stephen Webster, Rock God Of Replica Watches Jewellery, Got His Big Break

One of the most important phone calls of my life very nearly went unanswered. I had been away, on a trip to Santa Barbara, California, and returned to a series of messages that started polite and business-like but grew increasingly despondent and incredulous. "Hi, this is Madonna's assistant. Madonna has seen a catalogue of your work. Can you come around next Wednesday to show her some pieces?" Beeeep. Next message. "Hi, this is Madonna's assistant, checking you are coming to the house tomorrow?" Beeeep.

Last message, preceded by a resigned exhalation. "Hi. Well, I guess you are not coming. Thank you." I was beside myself. I had missed my big break. Madonna was showing interest in my cheap rolex replica jewellery and I had well and truly blown my chance.

It started at a party, as so many of my best stories do. I was attending a friend's wedding when I met Brian, the best man and an accountant at EMI. Brian told me how he had kept quiet about his favourite band being Status Quo when he'd been approached by two young guys from Oxford who asked him to join their management company, which looked after a couple of acts: Brit poppers Supergrass and a relatively unknown outfit called Radiohead.

Brian asked me what I thought of the idea and I told him that Radiohead, who had just released The Bends, were an amazing new band - the most exciting of the decade. Brian made the move and from that day on was, unquestionably, well and truly embroiled in the music business.

Some years later, Brian had reason to take a meeting with Madonna and asked for one of my catalogues to take with him. I didn't think anything cheap fake rolex would come of me showing my work to the world's most famous pop star and fashion icon, but what harm could it do? I left my business card in the package and flew off to America.

Back then, before mobile phones got smart and slim, they needed charging often and didn't work overseas, which is exactly were I was when Madonna's people called. All three times.

Once I came home, I took a deep breath, called back, got the assistant on the line and arranged to visit Madonna at her London home the very next evening. Because Brian was the one who had made the original introduction, I took him with me. To steady the nerves, we had a couple of large gins in the pub by her house beforehand.

It was a strange experience at first. Waiting in a reception room at Madonna's house, we could smell something burning.

Concerned, I popped my head around the door in time to see Madonna herself walking up the staircase, cloaked in wisps of thick black smoke. Wow, I thought, is this how Madonna always enters a room?

300 Years Of Fashion Accessories

For the past three centuries, fashion has been affected by politics, social change and popular culture. Both men and women have used what they wear to indicate their status, comply with social expectations, attract or please a partner, or send a message about their own individuality.

Completing the Look: 300 Years of Fashion Accessories will examine how accessories fit into this. Featuring beautiful accessories dating from as early as 1720 up to the end of the 1970s, the exhibition will explore the reasons behind changes in fashion and what we can discover about the lives of people through what they chose to wear.
