Fandu should just start selling only plates as sets. It’s definite that their not leather/strap experts.
I love that you're like a mad scientist just tossing belts about your lab.
First I had the normal big gold from Fandu and then bought the luxe. Love this Belt ... The plates are incredibel ... Fandu ships very quickly and with no problems
What's the difference between the fandu belt and the luxe version plate wise? I'm trying to decided which to get
@@spikey042687 Size and Detail, go for the luxe. Just trust me
For $800.00...Ric himself better deliver it to me lol
So it's settled. Buy a Fandu dual plated DELUXE and get PM to releather in brown with black backing. Thanks for the review, stay safe mate.
I have waited for you too do a review too hear your honest opinion on the Lux big gold. I can't wait for the re leather video. Your work is amazing
Very professional review. Beautiful camera work.
Been watching your videos since like 2011 when you were EcwNumba1 and i still enjoy them, great stuff!
I love the way that belt looks
Paul, thank you for saying the other fandu looked awful, that’s why I got rid of it. Def interested in the Luxe
Can’t wait for you to review the UPDATED dual plated winged eagle title that wwe have apparently updated since fan backlash.
Wasn't fan backlash. It had a spelling mistake, as the T looked like an I. Anyone who ordered it and received it, got to keep the spelling mistake belt and will be receiving a replaced.
@@Crimson_Logic Ok, but they made a post stating all the changes to the title, curved face plate, side bars now attached to face plate, deeper etching, etc.
WWE hasn't re-released it as of yet. They've only started to re-release the V2 Undisputed with the black strap.
i just got the big gold book in the mail on monday. Damn good book
I have the antique big gold from Fandu (Christmas last year) and I was blown away...love the look and your right, it's one heavy s.o.b....8mm thick. Looking for a NWA US and NWA TV title now...
Thanks ❤️for review
That belt is awesome I love it
Love the honest reviews. Fandu leather has always sucked, and I’m not sure if the plates justify it being a $800 belt $820 if you get a nameplate. If they sold the plates only for around $600 to $650, then I’d bite, but to get it releathered on a hand tooled strap, you’re into it for $1150 for a replica.
Plates are the onlything that justify 800 bucks unless you get the origiinal belt biggold c look sting 4500 bucks from the original family of the belt maker himself
Do you have a fandu lux big gold replica belt dual plated edition for sale alreqdy releathered lol serious question tho
No, after I saw some of the Fandu Luxe had tarnish issues, I bought the WWE Shop Crumrine instead.
@@coryn5487 is the detail on that belt better than fandu luxe or the same im trying to find the best detailed big gold overall without the releathering issues as well and under a grand in price
It's such a nice belt.
That is beautiful. Yes, the strap needs replacing; I would keep the brown leather tbh.
Thank you for the great content. Can I ask where I could access those display cases you have?
I would like to see what kind of leather strap you would put on it and how much you would charge. The plates are beautiful.
Damn good replica for the price honestly. The next step up would be classic shields budget model for 1400$ usd
Hi Paul. I got the NWA title belt from MOC Belts and the plates are dirty looking. Can I use Brasso to bring out the shiny gold look to it or what would you recommend?
Could/did you post the belt after the releather ?
Did you ever make the comparison video between the luxe edition and the standard big gold edition from Fandu? If so I cannot find it could you please share the link?
I got mine recently and shows what I know, I thought it was stunning 😂
It is stunning lol great replica
Do you offer, or will you be offering a send-out strap for these luxe edition Crumrines?
If you think this is good, you should do a review of the Fandu Backlund gold belt. It's amazing!!! Same as this strap, but the plates are amazing!!!
So the fandu lux edition you have here the plates are detai.ed and great right but their leather is in need of releathering how much is releathering
Very nice
Mine arrived today me thinks a new strap is in order
Did you ever drop that Big Gold comparison between the Fandu vs Lux?
Do you have a review of the Groovy G belt
They are die casted. Dan told me that. I the first ones was gold and silver painted. Now they look to be plated in silver and gold?
Of all the Big Gold Belt replicas I've seen, this is the closest to the original belt I've found, (even though it's still slightly off.)
Such a shame about the strap, I really want this belt.
How easy would it be to get a better strap for it? (I'd want a black one, of course.)
Hey Paul, will you be one of the approve AEW re-leather stamp holders?
How much do you charge for a send out ROH 2020 Version Heavyweight Championship Leather Strap?
I am considering getting one of these luxe edition Crumrines. I already have a premium Crumrine from Classic Shields on order, but am considering getting one of these just so I can spray paint "NWO" on it. There is no way in hell I'd be defacing the Classic Shields premium Crumrine with spray paint. But $800USD (plus the cost of a re-leather) is still a hefty price to pay just so I can have a second one to spray paint "NWO" on lol.
Is this the v3 version ?
Has anybody ordered from Fandu belts in the UK? Do you have to pay customs/VAT etc?
Arent the side plates supposed to be curved?
I have one major gripe and two minor gripes with this replica.
The first minor gripe is that the left and right ends of the belt seem to still use the same cutoff as the original Fandu. So, they’re a bit shorter than the Crumrine.
The second minor gripe is that, at least from what I could see in pictures and this video, the crown is inaccurate. The diamond on the crown should be silver, and the clear stones should be square.
Now, I can happily live with both of those gripes, but my major gripe is the font of World Heavyweight Wrestling Championship. I just can’t get on with it. It’s just slightly too narrow and too bold compared to the original Crumrine. For whatever reason I find the font of the WWE logo’d 3D Big Gold replica on WWEShop to be the most appealing to me, probably because it at least has the right width of each letter and is on the blocker side. That being said, I much prefer the font used on the Fandu Luxe compared to whatever the hell the WCW pancake replica on WWEShop uses as its font.
I didn’t realize the strap would be an issue until this video, though. Holy balls, this is bad. I know Fandu and AJ’s Belts are in cahoots, so that likely explains the terrible strap. But for $800…… the BIGGEST of yikes there. Thankfully the plates are absolutely marvelous regardless of my own personal gripes about it.
I think I’ll stick to my original Fandu Gunmetal Big Gold replica though. That thing, to me, is a thing of beauty.
I'm legit looking at purchasing one. But if im about to drop that kind of money on a belt, what makes the gunmetal better than this lux version if you don't mind me asking?
@@ericcloutier8387 it’s all down to personal preference, really. I’m a small person, so the size of all Fandu’s Big Gold replicas are perfect for me. And, I just love the contrast between the bright and shiny gold of the filigree, and the darkness of the gunmetal background. Combined with the red strap, it’s a real beautiful combo in my opinion.
This is why I have big problems with Fandu's big golds. It's not the fact that they're crap, they're not, they're good but it's mainly down to the pricing AND the straps that you get with it. I think for a regular one it's $300-$500 depending which one you get i.e. Backlund WWWF title or WWF Tag Title (the one that WWE has started selling on their shops), Andre WWF '86 (I think it was '86 or '87) and NWA/WCW Big Gold and then if you're wanting the "luxe" big golds, you're paying at least $300-$400 more and then I think it's something like $15 on top for the nameplate if you wanted a customised nameplate!
will you be making send out straps for the fandu luxe in black & brown?
Yes I will be, should have these available on my website soon!
😎. Thanks
How would you say this compares to ORM and classic shields?
The plates are amazing but orm crushes the Leather
I just got this and had and ORM as well. The plates stand up to ORMs quality however the strap sucks. ORM is real leather and this is vinyl. The difference in price though makes this belt worth it.
I have their original, signed by Bruce Prichard. I'd love to buy this version, I just think it's a little bit too expensive.
Not expensive for what it is.. it’s the best you can get price wise until you get to the classic shields ‘budget’ version for 1400.
They're championship's a belt is to hold up your trousers
Eventually Fandu is going to finally make an accurate crumrine replica. You know how companies do, it's a process, they give you Mario 1 until you finally get to Mario 3 at last. WWE is doing the same thing to their customers. The only thing companies rely on is people buying the products. Because you gotta by the belts for the company to stay in business or just go all out and get a Classic Shields.
I'll send mine to you soon 😂
This or the wwe shop version?
Hey can i PLEASE have the one you threw on the floor? PLEASE!!!!
Im sending mine to you
But what about the strap?
Isn’t the whole point of the deluxe the strap? otherwise thought they were the same ?
The original is not accurate the lux is more
The plates on the original Fandu big gold are smaller than the Luxe edition. Plus the font on the name plate is more accurate to the original crumrine.
You need to look at comparison pics. The plates are way better and way more accurate on the new luxe version. It’s definitely more than just the strap which is different
If only the name plate had accurate font.
Id love to have a replica belt but cant afford one
oh i never knew there was a book
$800 !? So should I buy one for $350?
The plates are amazing but the strap is complete garbage. The snaps fell off after unsnapping them. Right now it’s in the process of getting re leathered with a special design project my leather guy and I are working on.
Where did you get the us spinner belt
If you wanna sell that regular FanDu belt lemme know lol
My complaints with this belt :
• The delivery took too much time then what they claimed
• The leather just can't keep up with the quality of the plates
How long did it take mate, mines currently in the post.
@@retroshane8844 mine took like 45-50 days
@@cosmictornado3871 oh wow, was it stuck at customs?
The tarnish though…
Posts look quite long from pics and reviews
There straps no matter what you get from them it's trash but they could sell just the plates
@UCJedRXDtaBEVtFaCKNsb6SA Their American customer service is very standoffish. Dealing with Yang Fan Fan directly is a different story, but Dom Bui is a dick head imo. Deletes posts that ask questions about touch ups when they fuck up, deletes my post asking about belt hangers for a releather, etc. If you aren't kissing the company's ass in the FB group you aren't welcome, basically.
send me the one you threw in the floor lol
If the letters in W O R L D W R E S T L I N G H E A V Y W E I G H T C H A M P I O N S H I P were closer/connected like on the Original it would be almost PERFECT!
The original belt didn’t have a good strap to begin with anyway
Anyone else think Paul looks like if Finn Balor was a power lifter
Only you mate
Nice plated belt strip iz not all that good doe ! The gold pops out great on da plate.
But the WWE version will be hollow plates....yuk!
I can’t believe the strap is so bad for such an expensive belt
Yeah I was trying not to be too harsh but for a belt touted as their most premium version the strap is very poor so I had to be honest.
@@PaulMartinBelts If I ever bought one I’d probably have to send it to you for a proper strap and Swarovski gems😜
It looks bigger
It is
Small gold you mean. Thats not the size of the real big gold
The plates on this replica are TV accurate sized.
I have the regular fandu big gold title and now I’m upset…..🥲
Me too!!!!!
