I've never heard of steinhart before...

they copied the rolex almost perfectly at least in the photos.

what movements are in them?

How do they compare with weight and feel to the originals?

How about holding up?

I love the GMT master with the pepsi dial and might consider one of these in the mean time...

[arlee]

^ I'm thinking ±250€

lol i thought you meant you were saving for a rolex GMT.

I'd say just wait its not that much more than your budget right now

i don;t own one but have heard nothing but good things from people who own one.

they use swiss ETA movements, no clue about the weight and feel to the originals but I can say you are getting your moneys worth and more.

heres a review http://forums.watchuseek.com/showthread.php?t=350885

they have a forum dedicated to Steinhart if you want to know more about them

pokpok,

wow that looks really nice... I wish it were cheaper... cause I could buy an omega for that and it's a real original watch...

But that one is the one I would buy....

[Guest umhaha84]

you can buy an omega for $350?

[Happy Hooligan]

theres a lot of vintage omegas that go for that price...ive seen some really good condition seamasters (2254.50) for 800-1k

So I was just sitting around and replica watches came to mind, so I googled it- there's a replica Breitling I've been considering (of course I like the name and classic design), though I'm skeptical about ordering a 'fake' breitling online. I've also noticed several different sites selling these replicas has a FAQ section that are word for word, as if it's the same company/people through different websites. Anyone think this is a good idea to order from one?

Specifically this site as an example?

http://www.watchvisa.com/breitling-classic-19017.html

It's so tempting since it's under $100, but I'll be darned if I'll pay for a real breitling as a college student right now. Any good/bad stories related to this? If I do I may just buy a pre-paid visa card and order that way so they won't get my real card number.

Or of course this whole replica thing is a scam. Feel free to scream at me.

[freecat]

don't buy a replica ther's a ton of sub-$200 watches we've been talking about here which would be of better quality and wouldb't be replicas.

[ethnic cleanser]

buy a real watch after you graduate and get a job

[asher_roslynn]

Thanks for saving my money guys. I'm not going to do it, haha.

[Ryan]

dont do it my dude. plenty of legit watches in the 100-200 range and you dont have to worry about visa gift cards and all that..

if you like that style citizen has a lot of aviation style watches that are like that. Can look into those instead of buying a replica.

example

Citizen Promaster Nighthawk

black/white dial on leather strap

on bracelet

black dial on zulu

[asher_roslynn]

^Oh man- just might be what the doctor ordered.

[pokpok]

bond homage by mkii...fuck, just bought a watch and now i want another..

[arlee]

someone frequents WUS, yeah I'm not crazy about Sub homages but the Kingston looks great but if I was going to get a MKII it would be the Sea Fighter

[ericdw]

kingston looks good. it's one of the only two-tone heads i like. but sub homages are a bad idea... same thing with the seafighter. seeing it just makes me want to find a blancpain bund.

I would love a Blanpain Bund too but finding one and then having the money for one is another thing

god this sucker today. br03-92

my buddy upgraded to a cartier santos 100 carbon and had this sitting on his dresser for a couple weeks.

[Guest umhaha84]

^sell it to me? lol

[raulishere]

my baby is on its way

[tahonng]

I just won this on eBay:

Thinking of buying a new bezel and replacing this one. Can I do that myself, or should I go to a place? If I have to go to a place, any worth going to in NC? Or somewhere I can mail it?

get a new bezel insert or the whole bezel if you want and you might as well get the case refinished/polished

Can try http://www.dotwatchworks.com/

and http://www.10watches.com/ for all the parts you need

[raulishere]

yea it's an amazing watch the only thing is I don't like the diapal bracelet as much as the normal 756 bracelet. probably buy a replacement

[Happy Hooligan]

I have the same model but newer... slightly different.
