For that outlay you can have 4 of these
My watch is mentioned in the thread that i linked in my post just above yours
Do the cellphone protective thingie that KJ2020 describes in the same thread on the clasp so the gold plating does not wear off

thank you, yes i did see your posts and cellphone protection thingie. what is making me thinking about the 1k one is first of all the swiss movement, which to my understanding is more reliable. second the links seems to be wrapped in gold on the inside too, i do have a bit of ocd, if i know that the inside is not done my eyes will go there every time. i’ve always liked watches, but i’m not planning to get more than 1, possibly 2 reps maximum, as i mostly wear an apple watch daily.
also, because you have linked it, i can’t understand whether pfclones is a good dealer or not. read a bit of mixed reviews about him, most of them not nice at all, but i do see people posting reps from his website quite often...

Don't spend $1k, I spent $228, it has gone up since then by $10, if you order from Li at jtime he will source you a good one, even if he has to reject 6 as in my case, of if you want a good relilable movement spend a little more and get the Asian ETA movement with the ICHS. This all pertains to the BP CHNR of course. The GMF is a bit pricier.
Mine also has the covered links on the inside. It is the yellow gold one that has not
If you don't want the hassle of the gold cover scuffing off you could of course just get a stainless steel one.
We use Perfect Clones to show the picture of the watch that we want, and the price that we want, to our TDs!
An Apple watch? Come on man, don't be a herd animal, be an iconoclast, and proudly wear a fake Rolex!

So if the budget is higher, would a wrapped GMF be the better choice?

I do not think so, I would rather have another rep or two or three

Looking for a GM factory rootbeer wrapped gold with a 3285 movement is it possible ?
Very important that middle links goes also wrapped on the side . I know is not trusted dealer , but can't find in other sides. Can someone confirm that exists this version ?

that's got the "frisbee" GMT. I think this is the "timebomb" movement, stay away.

KJ2020 I’m wondering if this is a gen crystal on my watch... currently sent my watches to a deleted trusted vendor watch smith for work... one is to swap crystals for this gem... almost impossible to get my watches back but just my luck to get it back I guess... wondering if it’s gen crystal that I asked him to swap for me or not....

Hard to tell for sure from those pics bro. The magnification level looks a tad low, but it might be OK. How is the LEC? It should be hard to see without strong light and from just the right angle.

Naughtylus · 7/5/20

There should be no LEC on the Rootbeer crystal I thought???

I purchased the gen crystal with no LEC from eBay...

Cyclops "halo" looks nice, for whatever that's worth. Take a picture in sunlight from different angles? Naughtylus

Will do! I just have to find a watch smith to clean or even service my watch again just because I got my watches back in the mail and they’re in dirt and sticky!

Understandable

well I'm certainly not the expert that KJ is but I do think the magnification looks off as well. However I almost never see that "halo" except on gen crystals. Seeing if it has a "black hole" or not would help in determining... assuming you got one that's supposed to have that.

Do you have the ebay link from your purchase?
