Found this thread doing a Google image search for Polaris Homage... worth a bump.

I really don't have anything to add.... wait, I just added something.... argh.

OMG.......................................................

A couple more that are up my alley- ones that are lesser known...

I''l keep an eye out for you.

I have one on the way:

35 Euros on top of the eBay price so it had better get here quick. 

Share a photo(s).  There are a couple adjustments that can be made to fix this issue, depending on the problem.

I've been a fan of Seiko for a long time, but have become more serious as of late.  My latest one is a Sawtooth.  I used to have a Caesar Chrono and like an idiot, sold it.  I started using Watchrecon to replace it with but no luck- either they didn't show up or other people were too fast.  Then I used Google Image search, limited to "past week" and found the non-chrono version (Seiko SKA383P1) listed on German eBay:

100% AUTHENTIC AND BRAND NEW SEIKO MENS SCUBA WATCH, SEIKO KINETIC DIVER SERIES, TRUE SCUBA DIVER'S WATCH WITH SCUBA ABILITY, UNI-DIRECTIONAL ROTATING BEZEL, INSTANT START FUNCTION, POWER RESERVE INDICATOR, SEIKO JAPAN KINETIC MOVEMENT OF 6 MONTHS POWER RESERVE CAPABILITY, UNIQUE HOUR & MINUTE HANDS, MONSTER CASE DIAMETER 43MM, THICKNESS 13MM, WEIGH IN AT A MASSIVE 216 GRAM, 200M WR, SCUBA ABILITY, CALENDAR, RIGHT HAND SCREW IN CROWN, SEIKO STEEL BRACELET, DEPLOYMENT CLASP WITH SECURE LOCK, STRONG LUMIBRITE HANDS AND BIG MARKERS, INCLUDING BOX, INCLUDE MANUAL.

THIS WATCH IS VERY BIG AND SOLID. MONSTER CASE DIAMETER 43MM, MASSIVE 216 GRAMS.

What's not to love about this watch? 

This thread came up in a Google search about nicecopy.cn, which I can't gind any more.  The reason for sometimes going out side our TD's is that there are some other sites that offer things our TD's don't.  I should add that just becasue some sites don't want the hassel of jumping through the TD forum hoops or have the time to participate on a forum doesn't neccisarily make them bad.  Do your homework and hope for the best while expecting the worst. 

modding the back with real wood (wengé or red cedar for example) is easy and astonished ! nothing to compare with the cheap sticker

Link to how it's been done...

LOL!  I actually like the bottom one better, looks good to me 

I like it.

"ala [censored] Tracy"    [censored] is not allowed on the forum.  Even if [censored] is a person's name.  Imagine if your name was [censored], how would you feel if others found your name so offensive that [censored] was censored?  I know a lot of [censored]'s, all of them are very nice people.  I do have to admit that I feel akward calling them by their first name, [censored], so I usually just call them Sir or Hey...

Watched the video, hate that they cheaped out with the plastic back... in fact, the whole watch is so cheap that I wouldn't even consider wearing it if someone gave it to me.  UGH!

For some reason the crown doesn't look right to me, maybe there were a couple different versions for this watch.  Did find this:

135 $

This is the type of crown I've seen more of:

After all these years, I still can't understand why people feel that bleaching the heck out of their bezels is a good idea. 

I likes it.

@TB,

I sent my Ploprof V2 dial/handset/bezel glass to The Zigmeister a couple of months back, and all I got back was one helluva torch!

That's exactly what I was expecting to see from The Zigmeister! Awesome awesome awesome. Just doesn't seem like the OP's watch has that quality. Unfortunately, all I can do is go by the supplied photos, but you have certainly managed to take great photos of yours.

When I see this, all I can think of is an untouched version which has the factory lume applied to the inside of the bezel instead of the back of the insert...

Here's a lume shot of MY Plopper with the lume masterfully applied by some 10 year old Chinese kid at the "factory"in GZ:

And it glows all night long!!

UGH! Beat me to it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another factory lume:

And this is one that I had Goin do for me...

(note: the 2 in the 20 located on the bezel still has the water droplet on it which is why it looks funky)

Gen lume reminder...

Yeah, I know a little about Ploprofs, tore a few apart... (my pics)

The Ploprof is an awesome watch, based on this I'm going to get another one for myself. It just bugs me when people who have a great reputation make a mistake like that. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

There are those who love to give applause, and then there's me. When something is done right, I appluade. When something is done wrong, it doesn't bother me that others get ruffled becasue they haven't taken the time to learn the difference.

Fail. The bezel lume should have been applied directly to the underside of the glass, not behind it in the depths of the bezel.

In the dark, the lume should be more like this:

Now, I understand that there will probably be comments/excuses about lighting, camera differences blah blah blah. The plain and simple truth is he made a huge mistake. Sorry.

Nice read, for the most part.

Pic to go with...

Seems to me that the design on the front should be centered much better than it is. Doesn't look professional. Other than that, nice case.

I like it! Always great to have a strap that isn't some old non-descript looking thing that could go on any one of a thousand watches.

Love that crystal, and I've got to say that PB is getting MUCH better at luming. The past two examples of his that I've seen are a huge improvement over his first works. I don't know about those purple hands though....

Doing a search on Google images and this thread popped up. I don't know what happened but I think it's a shame carlsbadrolex is no longer around. He was always helpful and decent with me.

Thanks for sharing!

I put this together a few days ago for what it's worth...

Look at the crown guards compared to the gen below...

Neat bezel teeth on that

The Size is 115 x 75

Cheers

The DIVER strap will fit your wrist....for sure.

Yikes, that's short. I have an 8" wrist and 70x130 barely fits on the last hole. It's surprising to me that a diver strap would be that short, and for sure I wouldn't even consider a strap that size.
