GMT II or Submariner?  Some say GMT is more bang for the buck.  Any comments?

hey pokpok,

 

ive had that very same dilemma when i bought my sub... but after i decided to get the sub i never looked backed....a lot has to be said that the sub is celebrating its 50th (or something) year anniversary. abroad, the sub gets more attention than my datejust

logical deduction would tell you that the most popular watch would be the most commonly copied or imitated watch. the most copied watch, whether replicas or outright plagarizations has to be the s/s sub with date and the datejust.

Atong,

I remember seeing an ad for class AAA copy of Rolex (Sub) in buyandsell for P3,500. Is this a good price? Any recommendations on where a good quality replica can be had in Manila? Salamat!

i saw AAA replicas for 3,500 at greenhills.

the subs are very similar except for the small date magnification and the rough edge around the cyclops.

the datejusts also have the same problem with the cyclops and the roman numeral markings on the dial are edged compared to the rounded ones on the originals. two-tone bracelets give a different shine. the fonts of the rolex and superlative chronometer markings on the dial are also bolder.

 

if i were to choose, id go for the s/s sub and s/s stick datejusts

just curious, why would you want to buy one when already have an original one?

you can always buy another new watch for that amount. 3.5k can get you a casio, seiko or citizen, which is not bad... unless you're maintaining a certain look. like the look of a jubillee bracelet or black sub on your wrists complementing a plain shirt. but at 3.5k with the movement unestablished? anyone experience having a AAA replica that lasted? feedback heavily appreciated. if for 3.5k and it could last more than 5 years, then not bad. seikos last almost more than 5 years.

 

bo, any insights on AAA's and any suggestions?

 

for harabas... i used to wear a tag 2000... now its an oris arterlier moonphase or sandoz sub.

Good question. I've graduated from the datejusts. I am torn between buying a Submariner, GMT II and somedays I am even considering a Yachtmaster.

 

I figure, maybe if I buy fakes of all 3, wear each one for awhile, it might help me decide. I hope.

I still wear my black face datejust pang harabas. I'm still fond of it, but... as a watch fiend, I'm sure you understand.

 

I also looked into a Sandoz sub because of the better movements, but since I'll be in Manila in about 10 days, I thought, why not buy one there. If I bought one online, it probably wouldn't get here on time. Also the cost is another factor. The Singapore Sandoz models that caught my eye is in the P15K range includes shipping. These watches will more than likely be disposable, so P3.5K each doesn't sound bad comparatively speaking.

graduated from datejusts? i thought it should be the other way around with the younger people wanting sports watches more then having more refined tastes and switching to datejusts as they get old.

 

just pm me when you are coming to manila. we could take a look together.
