rosnik Posted October 14, 2008 Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 Do the "18K RG Plated" be durable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samurai Posted October 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 14, 2008 RG Plating is ok for normal use....lasts a fair bit of time if you wear it once in a while. Am not worried about the plating....but more on the accuracy of the watch comapred to the gen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

luisik Posted October 15, 2008 Report Share Posted October 15, 2008 I think it is very close to gen, at a reasonable price... and a lovely watch to feel as a billionaire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samurai Posted October 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I love the FM......can anyone comment on the back markings for this watch...does it have the gold/Jeweller's stamp etc....and is it engraved in crisp lettering (it had better be....for the price it is being sold for ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corgi Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I like it... I will do some research and this might just be my next purchase. I believe this is the watch the prime minister of Poland wears. *PATRIOTISM* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosnik Posted October 21, 2008 Report Share Posted October 21, 2008 I believe this is the watch the prime minister of Poland wears. *PATRIOTISM* great! Take in count that the Presindent Mr. Bush , use one CASIO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazarini Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Anyone received this yet ? Laz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoth105 Posted October 28, 2008 Report Share Posted October 28, 2008 Okay boys and girls, I just (just) received it, and I'm quite happy. I have no idea if it is terribly close to the original, but it does have a feeling of quality. The case is highly polished, the guilloche dial is very nice, push buttons are smooth, engravings on the back are pretty nice. The strap is pretty cheap though, as is the buckle. The ends of the pushers have some blue paint or something on them that isn't especially attractive. I don't know what that's about. I may try to visit my local gen dealer to get a sense of how it is in comparison to the a real one. I tried to take pics, but I'm horrible at indoor evening pics. Here they are, fwiw.

jot9011 Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 Damn I was hoping for some high-res macro shots. Thanks for the pics. Looks pretty good. BTW the blue plastic stuff will come off with your nail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
