How does this one look?

Hi guys. This one here has chinese movement, I'm wondering how the dial and case look though

Pretty good but by no means perfect in fact far from..bad bezel insert and the fonts on the dial aren't great .- Check out http://www.doubleredseadweller.com/ they have some great info on the comex..

Thanks, I forgot about that site. I came across this watch while trying to source some eta copy movements in china, they have an ok james bond too, but I'm not sure about these people yet, oh and she says she can make me some dials too so I may take a chance.

They also tell me they have the YM II already? is the gen even on the market yet?

If it were not for the cheesy-looking bracelet (I would replace it with either a standard rep non-riveted bracelet or a gen folded link

7835) & yellow markers this would look pretty good. Nice overall dial (great COMEX) and crown guards. If only....

they have white markers for that one too, its only 50 bucks so it might be a pic of something else too. If I didn't just get laid off I would take the gamble for sure, but I have to ponder it for now.

50 bucks for the white dial- how can you go wrong? Sure the pearl should be the smaller acrylic one, but whose gonna know?

Then all you have to do is age it so it doesn't look so new.

if this is the same as the ones ive seen, the case is a good bit larger than a regular submariner and the crystal is much wider. its actually quite nice but looks super wrong in terms of accuracy.

if you can see it in the flesh you may get a better idea, they may just be using parts and a different case now but there was a series of these for $70 a while ago and they all were much much too large.

just IIRC

thanks everyone. heres a few more pics of some of the other ones they have, they only have 8 but the rest are common. I don't care for the YM2 at all but here's what hers looks like.
