It looks like they repped the clasp rather well. It appears to be hinged as it should be. Whether it is spring loaded or not is another story. I would like to believe they replicated it to function like the original. This is the big deal maker or breaker for me. The redesign of the clasp is the major reason why I wanted this watch aside form the ceramic bezel. The clasp on the newer day dates is supposed to function similiarly to the new GMT. The replica factories have yet to replicate this which is why I don't own a new style day date.

I spotted a fake BCE in a respected watch shop!
jfreeman420 replied to Rolexman's topic in General Discussion
I don't know the laws where you are, but I believe here in the states the store would be stuck. If I were the owner of that store I would be way too embarrased to take a guy to court for selling me a fake watch. This would certainly make any self respecting watch collector think twice about buying a watch from them if the store couldn't spot a fake within two seconds. If this gets out it could ruin their business. Any court would tell them they bought the watch, they should know better and they aren't entitled to anything from the seller IMO. -
The description has been updated. Sandwich bezel...............Ceramic coated steel. Good enough for me, but ceramic is cheap enough and eay to work with. I don't understand the hype and high price of this material.

I have many replica watches and i have many that are still running after 10 years. I don't wear any one watch every day. With proper care a good replica can last you a good amount of time. Sometimes it is the luck of the draw however. I have watches that have stopped running after a few weeks. If it is long lasting reliability and quality you want then this hobby is not for you. I don't expect much out of my replica watches so I am never dissapointed. Remember that a replica is only meant to look like something it is not and it is not meant to function like the genuine it is modeled after, thus the huge price difference..

Doesn't even look like it has AR. Talk to the owner and show interest. Ask him to open the case in front of you. When you confirm it is fake offer him $20.00. Now you have a decent asian 7750 BCE for $20. -
One of the few watches I prefer on a strap rather than a bracelet. Highly underrated and underrepped.

Is that "swiss made" etched on the bottom of the crystal? Never seen that before...........
-
If Breitling follows Rolex in taking design cues from really bad replica's we may see some similiar models at 2009 Basel.....

I'm heading to the shortest thread ever. Gotta catch up.................

One last comment. Remember a replica is only a replica. Don't expect it to be comparable with a genuine watch and you will not be dissapointed.

Who would like directions to the Guangzhou Watch Market?
jfreeman420 replied to gavidoc's topic in General Discussion
That is great but can you give me directions from Florida? -
Looks like a perfect 1:1 copy of the Heuer (look at the crown guards) yacht-tona.

Fugly anyways.............

Cool. How can we all decide on a day and time? Can we make it once a week? I multitable and read the board........... My limits go from 1/2 NLHE up to 10/20 NLHE depending on the action that day.
-
Close but no cigar.............. I have never been caught..................
-
I am going to email the management to see if we could get something set up. We would need at least one full table to start though.

I'm on poker stars now reading the board between hands and it got me thinking. Would anyone here be interested in a regular private tourney on stars? We can have it set up with management and play for small stakes if you like or big stakes as well. I know there are a few poker players here and I think it would be fun. If there are enough people in the area I would even have a regular game at my house in south florida.............

I like the sketch. I used to write grafitti when I was younger. Many a wall had my mural here in South Florida.

If they are being made by child labor shouldn't the prices be lower? Ok maybe that was in bad taste but I think I have a strong argument here................ Anyway, what's wrong with kids making watches? I have had some kind of business since I was 12 years old and have worked very hard ever since. It's not like it's hard labor or anything. Everyones got to eat. Just my opinion. If kid's want to work I say let them, but at the same time they shouldn't be forced to work. If a child's job assembling watches helps to support their family and feed them and they aren't in physical danger it doesn't hurt anyone. Of course they shouldn't be forced to work extreme hours. Wal-Mart is the largest employer of people and children with horrible working conditions worldwide. Someone should shut them down.

The Silix version look really good except for one thing, the dial printing is gold!!! I would have had one of these from silix long ago if it wasn't for the gold dial print. Hublot never made a dial with gold print that I have seen. It is my opinion that these are light versions from the same maker as the $1k++ models that did the gold print on a chaeper version just for spite. It doesn't make sense to make a great watch like this for $500 and get the print color wrong.

I am a hardcore foodie. I love to eat new and exotic foods and dine on high end meals several times a week. My meals alone sometimes run over $2,000 per month. Second I am also a movie buff. I try to enjoy movies with substance and good acting but I occasionally enjoy the good B movie. I also collect all sorts of jewelry especially pinkie rings and designer eyeglasses (all are prescription). You will rarely see me without a watch, pinkie ring, iced out bracelet and pair of Cartier/Fred/gold & wood/luxuriator/ or persol shades on. When I'm not eating or polishing watches and other bling, I'm playing No-limit Texas Hold Em. Life is good....... I have also aqcuired over 50 pair of shoes including: Ferragamo, Gucci, Mezlan, Sandro Moscaloni, etc many in Ostrich, Gator, Croc and lizard. I also have close to 200 Tommy bahama silk shirts and about 100 Nat Nast silk shirts. I like to have a shirt to match every watch or vice versa.

I think is a [censored]ing breitling. Gordon is one of my favorite [censored]ing personalities to watch on TV. I wat every episode of his [censored]ing shows that are aired on [censored]ing bbc. [censored]ing awesome how he doesn't take any [censored]ing [censored]. I love how he has a mouth like a [censored]ing truck driver. They let some of the [censored]ing bad words slip on [censored]ing BBC.

I think there was a cheap Hublot King rep available some time ago. It went for around $100 but wasn't very accurate.
