  1. I have 2 of these.

    This has a silver dial. It looks white in the pics:

    It cost me $209. I have a seconds-at-six from Josh. This one is not quite the same quality as the one from Josh, but very close. The bracelet doesn't feel quite as nice as Josh's.

    I got this one from Silix:

    The gold on the original bracelet started to flake off after 2 months. :( The replacement they sent is much higher quality.

    This watch looks and feels like one of the best made replicas I've ever owned, the GMT-II C included. I don't wear it as often as I used to because I've shied away from gold lately.

    Guys who go for accuracy over reliability won't have these watches because of the subdial spacing. So far my seconds at 6:00 will run all day, stopping only once, but unless I get it serviced I think it will probably conk out some day. These models should be more reliable and I don't care much about the subdial spacing. No one I rub elbows with knows what a real Daytona looks like. I think they're great watches.

    Here's my watch from Josh, for comparison:

  2. The GMT hand doesn't run in the 1st position. It only tracks the hour hand. The hour hand moves in the 1st position by jumping hour-to-hour. I'm sure that's what you meant as you have the same watch.

    Meanwhile, I reset it and this time everything lined up exactly. We'll see.

    Other than the GMT hand the watch is very accurate. I may just learn to ignore the errant GMT hand. :)

  3. Someone asked that on RG. I checked out the site. Doesn't look bad. Prices are reasonable. Their pictures don't look stolen. Shipping is reasonable.

    All they take is WU and bank wire. That leaves me out because I don't know who they are and don't care to send my hard-earned money to someone I don't know. With no recourse should anything go wrong.

    Why don't you buy some watches and review them for us?

  4. I worked in a poultry plant after high school. The chickens were killed with electricity. Sprayed with an electrolyte solution and zapped.

    Here in nutty Calif, the animal fascists want to mandate that chicken cages be larger so the chickens can stretch out their wings without touching another chicken. This would add 50+% to the cost of a dozen eggs.

  5. IMO WM9's DDs are way overpriced. Lots of differing opinions on how long gold watches last. I'm wearing one from Josh today. I've had it over a year and the gold shows no sign of wear. It's a daily-wear, though.

    If you get the plated versions from Trusty or Perfect Clones, you'll get the best plating available and excellent followup service. Also, if you're looking for a specific model, check out Ruby's site, nicereplica.com. You can send her a picture of any watch you want, whether it's listed on her site or not, and she'll likely find it for you. All for $200-220.
