So I came across an old box with a watch I bought after collage mid 90's on a trip to Mazatlan Mexico from a beach vendor. As I remember they had some very bad even from the time bad replicas loud quartz moments your typical $10 beach watch. So the one I bought was a hack-able auto movement (still works to this day 20 years old) Remember haggling him down to $50. I saw that the 6 and 9 had come off, for some strange reason could only find the marker from the 6 on the dial? Anyway, finding it again brought back some great memories from Mexico. I will probably never wear this again, but will show it for some good laughs and just how far replicas have come over the years. hope you enjoy the pics, hope I posted in the right spot and hope they make you laugh a little too.

I love the clear case back!
Reminded me of one that I purchased in the 90's. The seller insisted that genuine Rolex watches had a clear case back!:p

I've seen, and owned, worse. Hold on to it. That's a classic that you never want to lose.

That's awesome -- I've had a few of those clear-backed Rollies as well. Great conversation pieces to have in the watchbox for sure!

I've seen much worse! Back in those days, that must have been a super rep!

I remember having a pretty decent coke GMT, but I ripped it apart to see how it ticks.
