I appreciate your opinion, however, I beg to differ. I did not pull the stem out. When I wore the watch I had no problem with the stem or setting date/time. I can't disclose a problem it never had while in my possession.
woof, that looks great!
I typically agree that the mesh bracelet is perfect on an Omega and doesn't seem very Rolex-y, but I recently saw some photos of an old (gen) Submariner with a similar band and somehow aesthetically it worked. I think I'm going to give it a try!
Yes, but I try to stay away from things that need 'serious' modding and have glaring tells though.
I also like to think I have realistic expectations: It's a fake watch, it's only going to be so good. Wear it and enjoy it!
TC Sub (with gen insert) and YachtMaster are excellent 'out of the box' watches.
I also have zero complaints with the Noob Explorer II and own both the white and black dial version. Probably the best 'budget' Rolex rep out there.
so far, I have my eye on this one, mostly because it has adjustable links:
