don't really understand the romance about the rep mechanical movements.

used movements are not really state of the art.

movements used are not very expensive.

chances are slim they run exactly on time.

the powerreserve last only a day or so.

so you continuously are resetting the time and date unless you have a watch winder.

wonder if you could recognise what's in it from the outside.

these reps are still make beleive watches.

just bought a PO 45 eta and a SFSO eta recently.

I'm very happy with them but one is running +10 secs per day the other -5secs per day.

I switch watches each day. Sometimes the powerreserve is just enough but most of the times I have to reset the time each morning.

Hey all! I've been looking at various replica watches and I've narrowed my choice to an Omega - mostly because there's some fairly cheap nice looking ones around here. I've basically narrowed my choices down to two watches because I wished to start with a relatively cheaper watch (I'm a college student and can't exactly afford to drop $300+ on a rep). My question, then, is if I should go for the cheaper Omega GMT Seamaster or the Omega DeVille. I know both are using Asian movements and I read the review of the cheaper asian Seamaster on this site, but I was wondering how accurate of a reproduction the DeVille is. Also, are these watches prone to breaking, do they have a decently smooth sweep, and do they keep time well at all? I might even consider getting both if they're both of good quality, as having a nice dress watch would be nice (I go to the Wharton School of Business at Penn, so even as a freshman, I regularly have to go to recruiting sessions and dinners and such). Thanks for answering my questions, and I'm really glad that I found this forum - I've been having a great time browsing through and reading and learning about this hobby, which hopefully I'll enjoy for a while!

(I also read that there were some QC issues with the Seamaster where "Seanaster" was written on the clasp by accident, is that fixed?)

Someone suggested the Moon Watch, so I pulled up a quick search on Andrew's site and found these:

Are the $108 ones good, or am I just going to be getting a low quality bad rep if I purchase one of those?

Ask yourself what your prio is; watch quality or accuracy

I remember I saw a top ten of economy watches. Consider one of those.

Are you in the Euro zone. If so, prices in $ are a laugh.

Hi Tai,

What exactly did you Mod and why?

I am expecting a PO from Sillix also so I am curious what your findings are.
