are these Luminox replicas on aliexpress?

[godhanded]

I saw these and it struck me... they have to be replica... based on the price. But one of the pictures shows a warranty card and everything...

Yes, member dfq owns both a Luminox and Citizen Nighthawk rep, both purchased on aliexpress.

Not Luminox, but definitely fake http://www.aliexpress.com/item/The-...-original-steel-buckle-steel/32265663642.html

How is the glow action from the tubes, if they are in fact functional?

 

[dfq23]

It's just lume not proper tritium and the crown is push/pull type not screw down like the gen but for the money it's bloody lovely

After 30 minutes wear in daylight and taken in a not totally dark cupboard

 

[tommy_boy]

Nah, but it is tempting.

Why would you buy a replica if this brand if they aren't that expensive already??

I picked mine up a couple of weeks ago as for the money it is a lovely looking field style watch which cost a lot less than something similar quality from somewhere like Argos would have. Gen is £450 ish, rep was £50 so gen is 9 times more expensive. Seven Friday M1 reps are £200 ish and the gen is a grand so only 5 times. It's all relative

One person's 'not expensive ' is one person's bills.
