What do you think of the movement thats in it? Its an Asian 2813 21j Autoamatic. The price of it looks good.

well asian movement, but there are also hand wound versions, so I think there will be some spacer / ring for the movement, what would be removable, and you can then change the movement.. Too bad, that it is not that well repped, because it has got a small subdial of seconds, instead the big second hand..

I wonder if any trusted dealer is making a rep closer to the gen? Here are a couple of photos of a gen. I see there is a difference from the rep.

Nobody is worried about the guy on the video? He says it's a divers watch that's why it's handy to have a large crown, for if you're diving and have your diving gloves on. Who the hell would want to reset his time then O.O and even if you would I bet getting that crown back is real easy... Cool watch though :p

A host of new models just went up on Josh (Perfect Clones) site (not a trusted dealer). More colours, some with PVD? coating. No details or price yet though have a gander if you're interested.

This is one of those watches that I'd have to think long and hard about kicking the ass of the person wearing it! :p

Some wrist shots would be good. I am still in two minds if I will get this or the 50mm flightdeck with a7750 movement. So your thoughts on this one would be appreciated.

Looks nice!
Regarding the case back, does every word in the Italian language end in the letter "O", or are some of those engravings the Chinese interpretation of how it should read?
I thought even on Italian brand watches it was "calibre", not "calibro".
