Why?

What difference would it make if it did look like that (unless you paid the extra for some dressing on a movement that takes it no closer to being correct)?

As a selling feature I find this 'original style' movement a bit of sneaky marketing to ensnare the ignorant. Its like paying extra for a fibreglass bodykit on a Ferrari replica.

The nickel movement is "supposed" to be better then the brass.

I disagree, although I should say that I have no doubt that the subs do have the movement they are advertised to have.

To me, the bottom line is this - I don't care if the sub was advertised to have a lime green rotor made of a petrified frog turd . . . if that's what the thing was advertised to have, and I paid for it, I believe I'd have a right to [censored] if it came with a real Rolex movement instead.

But that's just me.

As I said - what difference does it make, unless you were daft enough to pony up the extra for it. All it amounts to is a piece of perforated and etched tin plate and a purple sticker. Well worth the additional $20?!

I was just wondering if it actually looked like that. I thought that Wo Mart may be advertising a movement like that, but it doesnt actually come like that. Similar to what TJGladeRaider mentioned, I was simply wondering if you get what is advertised.

However, we are dealing with replica, and appearance does matter to a lot of people whether it is accurate or not. If you didnt care about a brand's logo on a dial, crown, movement, etc, you would be at a Timex forum. So saying that an extra $20 is for the ignorant, would you also say that playing $200 for a fake watch is for the ignorant?
