Grade AA - $100
- Most will come with Japanese hack or chinese mechanism depending on model
- Significant difference in weight as compared to original
- Most chronographs DO NOT WORK
- Basically this watch looks similar and tells you the right time and overall quality is alright.
Grade AAA - $240
- Comes with Swiss automatic movement. ( Apparently movement is more accurate as compared to original)
- Weight is very similar to its original counterparts
- Chronographs WORK for quartz model
- Looks 99% to original making it difficult to tell the difference
- Straps are of better quality rubber, leather ( mostly calf leather for AAA)
- IMHO if you have the cash, buy this as it is more lasting and definitely more true to the original

BOTH GRADE AA & AAA SHOULD NOT TOUCH WATER AT ALL EVEN THOUGH IT IS SAID THAT IT CAN.
NO WARRANTY, WATCHES WILL COME BRAND NEW WHEN PURCHASED UNLESS OTHERWISE STATED.
