[QUOTE="Sylar, post: 62723, member: 2592"] yea im sorta regretting i posted it now :rolleyes: A fake exists for no other reason but to rip people off and is always inferior in every way, It may look the part, sold at an inflated cost and only gonna get screwed over with it. A replica/homage On the other hand is made to look the same, do the same thing and sold at far less the price of the real thing so that those who cannot afford or acquire the real thing can still own a "copy" of it This is a fake and it sounds like a dam good looking one at that (notice i say looking) going by some of the forum reviews i have seen I have a Soviet CCCP CHS-191 dive watch it took me 3 years to find a real one online and i paid $300 (real value is someplace near 1k) for it, the homage of this watch has an updated movement, nickle plated housing (the real one is stainless steel) and cost $350 but it is made to look the same but with very distinct and deliberate markings to make it different, manufactured by a totaly different company still in Russia My point? If your gonna knock someones shit off at least have the decency to make changes so that it cant be passed off as the real thing and defraud people [/QUOTE]
