Have any of you found watches that are similar in style to the Grahams? I love the big bulky IN YOUR FACE vibe of these watches.

I own 3 Haurex San Marco watches which look very similar to the Graham. The Rose Gold San Marco from Haurex is stunning in person. They are on amazon for about $500, but occasionally they go on sale at Buy.com for about $200, which is when I pick one up (I own the white dial, black dial, and now the rose gold version.)

Anyway, if there are other brands out there, or even replicas of higher end brands that have that similar style of BIG watch, please post it here and include a photo if you can.

I'll start first:

Haurex San Marco 'Rose Gold'

I did get the Graham. But I like to get others as well. If I love this Graham, I will likely get 2 more.

Question: For those of you with a Chronofighter, do you feel that if you handed your watch to a friend of yours who owned a genuine, would they be able to tell whether yours was a rep or not, if you lead them to believe you bought a genuine yourself? I realize to somebody who rarely sees Graham's, it will pass with flying colors. But to an owner, will it pass?

The generally held belief to that last question is yes, however not having seen a real one in the flesh I would have no real idea

Ok, I will. I might replace the strap with a leather one.

Apparently with V2 they are all spot on except the engraving on the casebsck, the rep is more engraved and looks more expensive than the gen. But I have noticed the dial numerals on mine to gen is slightly different. The gen seem a little more glossy.

Apart from that the watch feels all the same and functions exactly the same, my honest opinion the rep is better made than gen..
