AlcoWatch aims to publish clear, useful and accurately researched information about watches. Because our content discusses both genuine luxury watches and replica watches, maintaining a clear distinction between the two is an important part of our editorial process.
Research and Sources
When an article includes technical specifications for a genuine watch, we prefer information published by the original manufacturer or another reliable specialist source.
Examples include case dimensions, movement references, frequency, power reserve, materials and officially announced model configurations.
Genuine Watch Specifications
Specifications relating to genuine Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe or other luxury watches apply to the authentic models unless the article clearly states otherwise.
We do not automatically attribute genuine manufacturer specifications, warranties, water resistance or movement technology to replica watches.
Replica Watch Terminology
Terms such as super clone, AAA, Swiss replica and 1 to 1 can be used differently by different sellers. AlcoWatch does not treat these expressions as independently verified technical grades.
Where possible, our articles concentrate on identifiable features such as dimensions, dial layout, materials, bracelet construction and movement information.
Reviews and Commentary
Some articles contain editorial analysis or opinion. Opinion is based on the design, specifications and available information about the watch being discussed and should be understood separately from objective technical specifications.
Corrections
If we identify a factual error, outdated specification or misleading distinction between genuine and replica products, we may update the article.
Readers can submit corrections through our Contact page.
Independence
Editorial coverage should not imply that AlcoWatch is an official representative of Rolex, Omega, Patek Philippe or any other watch manufacturer unless such a relationship is explicitly and verifiably stated.
Article Updates
Older pages may be revised to improve accuracy, readability, internal linking and technical information. Major changes may include correcting specifications or clarifying the difference between an authentic watch and a replica interpretation.
