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?
