Hsars Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 What's up guys, So I just received my Rolex Yachtmaster 2015 Replica from Joshua with swiss ETA movement, and thought I might share with you guys how I feel about it in this quick post ! Overall, I have mixed feelings about this watch, although I find it beautiful in good lighting conditions, I find that in low light the bezel lacks details and don't pop as much as it should be. It make the watch looks plain in a certain way. The dial itself is very accurate, body and case of the watch are up to expectations. Only big disappointment is the band. This is no way a good rep of the oysterflex. It's just a RubberB low grade rubber strap that kills the high end look of the watch. The genuine has metal blades in the strap that makes it look round a sturdy around the wrist and has some sort of support between the wrist and the strap that gives it a "floating"" effect. I'm overall happy with the watch but I would recommend y'all to wait for the oysterflex band to be better repped. If you guys have any questions don't mind asking !z Here are a few pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
508-Fanatic Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Thank you for the review - this is something I am very interested in but will most certainly wait on. For $288 I didn't expect much... for this to be executed properly it should be $450 or so. imho. The dial will have to get a lot better too...

DavidTaiwan Posted July 21, 2015 Report Share Posted July 21, 2015 Congrats. Looks like the first version with the weird bezel teeth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoothsailing74 Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Is the nickel plated swiss version? I think it was $378 on perfect clones. Just wondering if this is the same watch. Thanks for your post. I'm 50/50 now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted July 22, 2015 Report Share Posted July 22, 2015 Thanks for the review. I've had my eye on this watch also, but the asian eta version is $298 from Trusty and I thought that was a lot- but I didn't really want to buy the a21j model. And there's $20 for s&h as I recall. At any rate, this watch is so new, I don't see how anyone could call you out- except on general principals- it's a Rolex so it must be fake! http://www.twgtwg.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=352&products_id=13455 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hsars Posted July 23, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 To be honest I sent it back as i was kinda off with it! Honestly the watch looked like a knockoff, the gold finish was too shiny and looked almost like plastic. But the worst is the strap. It had a greyish finish and was collecting skin dust and made it look cheap and dirty... The bezel was also wayyy to loose, I took the swiss eta movement and I also noticed that it didn't change date properly at midnight! Anyways I ended up sending it back and ordered a submariner date!

Ntoronto05 Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 Still a rlly cool lookin watch. Being the first edition guess it's normal to have a few flaws Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdkno Posted July 23, 2015 Report Share Posted July 23, 2015 I LOVE the gen! However no matter how close they get on this one I doubt I would buy and wear a rep of a watch that sells for $25,000.00 USD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
