1970 Seiko Diver Replicas?

Recently saw a thread where someone was asking about replicas of low end Seikos. The poster wasn’t treated gently, hopefully asking about the high end offerings isn’t also faux pas.

I’m trying to find a rep of one of the higher end Captain Willard watches. It would be great if there was an SLA033 option and at $4,250, I feel wanting a rep option is understandable.

Nah but the SLA017…
Chinese wouldn’t replicate Japanese watches, it’s also a culture thing from what I’ve been told

Good to know. I wonder why the culture thing hasn’t stopped them from producing so many other Japanese products including real Seikos?
