Baume Mercier Men’s 8851 Classima Executives Chronograph White Dial Replica Watch Review

The 8851 Classima sports a 42mm diameter case, which makes it an XL according to Baume & Mercier standards, but it is still quite thin for its size. It also has an elegant alligator skin strap that is also very comfortable, and the triple-folding clasp will securely fasten the replica watch to your wrist. But even though the 8851 Classima is beautiful enough on the outside, the inner workings are what really sets this replica watch apart from all the rest.

The 8851 Classima is powered by a 25 jewel Valjoux 7750 movement that vibrates at around 28,800 vph; this is the reason why this cheap replica watch is extremely great at keeping time. The pushers are also well-made, you can actually feel the quality when you use them.

If you are planning to get one of these exceptionally-made timepieces for yourself, then here are a couple of things that you may want to know before parting with your money:

Pros:

  • The 8851 Classima is an extremely accurate timepiece.  It runs on a Valjoux 7750 movement (or a variant of it), which is very accurate to say the least. Unlike other automatic replica watches, this particular model will only be off by +/- 1 second after some weeks; pretty impressive even for a chronograph.
  • The large, white replica watch face makes it easier to read the dials. The additional dials are also clearly marked and numbered so you can readily tell the position of the arms.
  • There is a fourth hand that is used to designate the time zone. This fourth hand has a red-colored tip that corresponds to the red numbers that are on the outer edge of the replica watch face.

Cons:

  • Even though the face of the 8851 Classima Chronograph is quite large, the sheer number of features on it makes it a bit cluttered to someone who is new at using chronographs. But this is only a minor inconvenience and as you continue using the replica watch, reading the different dials will seem like second nature to you.
  • The triple-folding metal clasp can be quite unwieldy, especially if it is your first time using this kind of fastener.

There are only a couple of not-so-bad things that can be said about the Baume & Mercier 8851 Chronograph, which is why it is considered as one of the company’s best sellers up until now. There are only a handful of replica watches that can compare to the 8851 Classima, and most of them cost thousands of dollars more than this model.  If you are looking for a very accurate and beautiful timepiece, then the Baume & Mercier 8851 Classima Chronograph is the best choice for you.

Baume Mercier Men’s 8868 Classima Executives Silver Guilloche Dial Replica Watch

If you are thinking of getting one for yourself, or you are planning to give one as a gift, here are some of the pros and cons of the Baume & Mervier 8868 Classima that you need to be aware of:

Cons:

  • The replica watch is not completely soundproof. If you hold the replica watch near your ear you can still hear a faint clicking of the gears within the cheap replica watch.
  • The replica watch gains a couple of seconds each day; this is to be expected since the 8868 Classima is technically not a chronometer. You may need to set the replica watch to the exact correct time every couple of days or so.
  • The stainless casing is rather soft, even for luxury replica watch standards. If you are quite clumsy, and you tend to bang your wrist on objects quite often, then you will find that every hit will clearly show on the stainless steel case of the 8868 Classima.

Pros:

  • Even though it is not a chronometer, the 8868 can still keep good time. It gains a couple of seconds every day, but it is still quite good for just a regular replica watch movement; this is the quality of Swiss-made replica watches.
  • The replica watch face is perfectly-sized. Unlike most luxury replica watches that have oversized faces so that they can show off their jewels and movement, the 8868 Classima keeps things simple and unassuming. Though its face is not as large as that of other luxury replica watches, it is still big enough for anyone to see and read.
  • The deployment clasp on the strap is a neat addition. The problem with other replica watches that have leather straps is that the buckles usually leave a mark on the leather, but the 8868 Classima actually has a metal deplyment clasp underneath; this makes it easy for you to put on the replica watch, and this also means that the leather strap will not get damaged as severely like when you use a regular replica watch buckle.

These are just some of the advantages and disadvantages of owning a Baume & Mercier Men’s 8868 Classima Executives Silver Guilloche Dial Replica Watch. As you can see, the cons are just minor inconveniences.  This is still the perfect replica watch for when you are attending a fancy dinner party, when going out on a special date, or if you just like collecting luxury replica watches.
