I just might take a chance with one of these bad boys. I have no 21j's, these movements any good?

Not sure about the 21j's (theres nothing about them in the movement review section either)....but for $128 can you really go wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b16a2 Posted May 27, 2010 Report Share Posted May 27, 2010 Just spoken to my dealer of choice and in the next few weeks this will be available in A21, Asian Clone and ETA versions....am now trying to clarify whether that means it is the same watch with different movements, or whether it is a different one with these options available.

marrickvilleboy Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Nice work on hiding the bad datefont. not really. He has pics showing the datewheel. That pic is just coincidental. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 How is this Font, I would Say The Better looking Button here is more important and like I said the logo looks good to, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
By-Tor Posted May 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 You guys are correct... that looks much nicer than the Trusty model that I linked (from a quick look). Looks like a different model from another factory. Experts chime in... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocky78 Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 (edited) Hour and second hand should be white, instead of shiny steel like in Honts version and It says 'SPEEDMASTER' on caseback! also the orange button seems to be pushed too down, maybe Honts version has working release button..

geo1nah2a Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Wow.. Who would have known that from waiting for any version to show up, we would get 7 versions in two days Albeit only two are cases are overlapping and fighting for accuracy (SS/black dial). The rest are either fantasy(SS/blue dial, SS/white dial), frankens (PVD/black) or too rare and wrong (1 of 1) to be believable (RG/white) PS: Love the no-happy-feet logo. The dials in the hont version seem to be matte. The overall finish looks cheaper (bezel button seems flimsy, lume inconsistent, crown guard not flush/of different finish) and that is to be expected at that price.

gran Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 I think ther must be several replica factories making these...and they are not sharing all parts...is there fierce competition between replica factories? for parts or is it just poorly coordinated as both are released at the same time? the PloProf saga continues...

MilSub Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Hey guys Not sure whether im allowed to post this, but it seems "Hont" has the Plo and it looks pretty decent, in fact they look gen?? I dont see any happy feet???.......reckon these are pics of a gen? He has the white, black, blue. PVD and gold.....? Hont PloProf Look again. The only thing they got right with the 21J version is the logo. The date window is too small and in the wrong place, the hands look a little off, the lume is nowhere close to the original, the bezel doesn't look tall ennough, the strap is too thin and it says SPEEDMASTER on the back! Could be a nice watch for a homage project, but not as a rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OSRep Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Dont shoot the messenger Im no PloProf expert (I just saw no happy feet and got excited).........you are absolutely right, it does say speedmaster on the back I dont get it?? Lack of common sense? Look again. The only thing they got right with the 21J version is the logo. The date window is too small and in the wrong place, the hands look a little off, the lume is nowhere close to the original, the bezel doesn't look tall ennough, the strap is too thin and it says SPEEDMASTER on the back!

modelizer Posted May 28, 2010 Report Share Posted May 28, 2010 Now this version I must say is pretty accurate! The crystal could use a bit better AR, but it should be an easy fix by chief..? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
