Apologies if this is the wrong forum, but wanted to share something for the RM lovers (or potential shoppers) who are not willing to part with >$300 initially. Skone makes what looks like the RM0052. It is a quartz and more info can be found by typing SKONE Skull watch. Never handling a RM replica were the Real McCoy, I cannot comment on how they compare; but, I can confidently say it drew plenty of attention even at St Regis Bal harbor middle of the day in the sun. The best part about it, is it was $30 on Amazon!. The worst part, website claimed is waterproof up to 3atm, which is downright lie. As you have all commented in the past, The waterproof rating on any replica is not worth experimenting with. It is a quartz movement, as well as a silicone band. The finish is matte black and it does have some weight to it although not worse than my triathlon watch by Garmin. The skull is not gold but peach/tan. Easy to take the case off and repaint ifintersted lol. The last 3 photos are after 4 days of intense sun and sand. I have not measured the size of the watch but that can be found on multiple websites. Of note, crystal has been good w/o glare!

That watch looks like it has a case of bad AIDS.

No one is expecting quality at 30$ lols, it is all about taste ;)

please examine the sense of your comment a bit, Sir.

What does your expectation mean regarding taste and quality? A gentlemen that buys a 30$ watch expect crap like this and calls it taste? It is all about context - not taste.

Haha allright I'll try elaborate on what I meant :p If you go for a 30$ watch you are obviously not expecting quality-rather you're inrested in the estetics of the watch. The same arugment can be used for people who buy DW-watches. Everybody knows they are shitty quratz watches but people still buy them since they "look good". I may be out on the blue but I really dont see how context has anything to do about buying a crap watch that looks "appealing" xD.

Kinda same with Tom Ford watches. He’s trying to mimic Reverso or Cartier tank but fails miserably but people will buy it because it’s Tom Ford. It’s SS quartz watch that coast $2000. He should stick to what he’s good at- making suits !!!
