erm wrong thread?

I have never owned a fake watch (to my knowledge) but if I ever saw someone with what I believed to be a fake watch, I would never point it out. Thats not nice.

But you are planning to buy some?

He only seems to have models that are easily available as reps.

Many thanks Andy! I am pleased with it so far!

I got the crystal along with my 5512 i got from another member.

It is a Sternkreuz tropic 19. The ref number on the crystal pack was XS 303.472. (C19230)

The crystal was a little too big, so i had to reduce the size along the outer edge so that i could get the retaining ring seated back down properly. But some Ploywatch brought that back to life!

I just got one from Cousins £4.30 plus VAT

It fitted perfectly onto my Josh 5512 with no need to reduce it in size. It improves the look of the watch completely.

Will take some pix.

Rotary do a good Seamaster 'homage' as well. My Brother has one.

Here is my 5512 from Josh that arrived a few days ago. I put it on a NATO. I am planning to replace the Crystal and age the insert, dial and hands.

The 21J versions are exactly the same case as the more expensive 'Swiss' movement models. they take all gen parts.

On the Joshua watch I think a replacement Crown would help, the one that is on is too tall. I am going to pop a Clark Cristal in there as well.

Do what to the CGs?

I plan on adding some age to the dial and case.

Class Blues.

Elkie Brooks, what a voice 1973

Robert Palmer on there as well.

I got the 5512 in the end.

It's on a NATO strap at the moment. Lovely.

Back has been off, its real.

Jolly good!

Have you had the back off? It would be tragic if it had a 21j in there

Fantastic Watch.

This thread inspired to me to order a 5512 from perfect CLones and 'have a go'

I will post the results as they come in.

easy enough to fix

P.S. Please no PAMs they all look the same to me and i'm definately not going that route.

Red Rags and Bulls spring to mind.

Why Cheap Nato straps? the webbing is thin and nasty, the metalwork is lightweight, the stitching untidy.

Good NATO straps don't cost that much more than the nasty ones.

They look like something for the Kids with their 007 Logo or the gun barrel rifle spirals on the dial

'He states that it is not currently working, and has not had the time to go the jeweller to get it fixed. He states that it is probably an easy fix though to get it working.'

Ya right!

WOuld look good on a quality NATO
