Hey guys,

bought this watch from silix last week. basicaly a PO, with a QoS dial and Casino Royale hands

Jee was very helpful, and responded to emails very quick. He even gave me a discount when i asked down to 29.99USD, saved me about 50% :lol:

packaging was secure and very well done. the watch itself arrived within a week (normal air mail) when i opened the parcel i noticed a dodgy lug pin, but what do you expect for 30USD. went down to the watch show and bought a new lug pin and got it re-sized for about 15 bucks.

The watch is amazing for the price, very good quality, and i am very happy. the He valve on most replicas is in the wrong position, but no big deal, the stainless steel and brushed effect is very nicely done, and the clasp on the bracelet is good quality and locks securely.

movement is Asian automatic, and time keeps quite well, had it on all day and have lost maybe a few seconds. the bezel only rotates in one direction, and the pearl is secure and not dodgy. the lume on the pearl is also good. the dial is very nice, and has a gun metal effect. all logos and wording are correct on the dial. Dial lume isnt that great, but again, i mention 30USD.

the back is beautiful and looks nice for the price. the P and O are the same size as other writing, and on the clasp there is a spelling mistake (seamastei), but it is very faint and almost looks like an r. watch glass is a basic dome mineral crystal with no AR

so just recapping:

Good points:

  • value for money
  • very nice dial
  • keeps good time
  • great case
  • quality clasp
  • decent pearl
  • shipping time
  • customer service

Bad points:

  • spelling error on clasp
  • P and O same size as other letters
  • came with broken lug pin
  • incorrect He valve placement (who cares for 30USD)
  • watch is a bit of a hybrid
  • lume not very bright on markers.
all together, this is a great starter watch for the collector and i am very happy. I will definitely be purchasing from Silix again. He is a great guy!!

I have bought several watches from Silix and no problems at all ,as you said, very good communication and in case of problems ,he solves them very wel.
I bought a broken Breitling and he replaced it and as a bonus he send a very nice Breitling with a extra leather strap.
So Silix is the man.
