I purchased an Omega Planet Ocean Seamaster from Joshua (PC) about 18 months ago. When I first received the watch. The automatic winder screw was missing, so I had to send it back. It was missing on the pics that Joshua sent me, but I didn't notice it. Eventually I received the watch back and all was good initially. However within a few months the Bezel numbers\markers faded considerably and the red writing on the watch face is disappeared and is now silver. This experience has put me off a bit from purchasing another replica watch. Is it typically normal for a replica watch to deteriorate so quickly with less than average usage?
