Luxury watches are more popular than ever. Everyone wants to own a high-end timepiece because famous celebrities like Virat Kohli, Shah Rukh Khan, and Hrithik Roshan wear them. Whether it’s a Tag Heuer, Rado, or Audemars Piguet, these brands represent status and style.

However, most people cannot afford to spend lakhs on a single watch. This is why first copy and second copy watches are so popular in India. But how do you know which one to buy? Here is the simple guide to understanding the difference between first copy and 2nd copy watches.

First Copy vs. Second Copy: The Main Differences

While both are replicas of original brands, the quality, price, and durability are very different.

1. Build Quality and Finishing

First Copy: These are “mirror images” of the original. The finishing is smooth, and it is very hard for a normal person to tell the difference.
2nd Copy: These look slightly brighter or “cheaper.” You can easily tell they are replicas just by looking at the metal or the polish.

2. Glass and Scratch Resistance

First Copy: Most use Sapphire Crystal glass, which is scratch-resistant and stays clear for years.
2nd Copy: These use basic glass that scratches easily and can break with a small impact.

3. Working Features (Chronograph & Buttons)

First Copy: The extra dials (chronographs) and stopwatches work exactly like the original watch.
2nd Copy: The extra buttons are often just for show. Either they don’t move at all, or they don’t work correctly.

4. Materials and Straps

First Copy: These use high-grade steel and genuine leather. The locks and buckles are the same design as the luxury brand.
2nd Copy: These use lightweight, cheap materials. The polish often starts to fade after a few weeks, and the leather belts are of poor quality.

Watch Out for “Fake” First Copies

A big problem in India is that many sellers sell 2nd copy watches at high prices by calling them “First Copy.”

How to avoid being cheated:

Price: If a luxury replica is priced between ₹500 and ₹2500, it is likely a second copy. Quality first copy watches in India usually range from ₹6000 to ₹10,000+ because they use better movements and materials.
Real Photos: Always check if the website uses actual stock photos. At Watchocart, all our images and videos are taken directly from our real stock without any editing.
