Did the same to me before I was banned but kept deleting what he had written once I had replied making me look like a complete dick. I had to forward some of his PMs to Brad as they were totally outrageous.

Just received my Parnis watch. The watches are from China (hand-widing, quartz or automatic) which put me off at first. But I absolutely love the watch, quality is good (really good considering the $90 you pay for it). Pretty accurate, only downside is the band (quality is not perfect and leather doesn't look that good). For the rest I would defo recommend it.

(yes different time, took it yesterday. Eye-wink)

Bought this of this seller: http://www.ebay.com/sch/xiaosong12580/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686

I know most of the models (maybe all of 'm) are knockoff Panerais, IWCs etc. But I'm not going to spend 2k/3k on a watch, yet. Smiling

Yep, also in the beggin rich camp.

Can someone tell me just how terrible these watches are, and advise which is least shit:

Seiko Diver £150
Would switch out rubber strap for a NATO.

Seiko Military £80
(Have seen them for about £45 on eBay from Far East, are these likely to be fakes? Do people bother faking cheap watches this cheap?)

Why would you fake an £80 watch when you could fake an £800 watch for the exact same money? They are legit. Decent price too, don't buy one unless you specifically want a small watch though.

thats silly, loads of fake ray bans come from thailand and they are only around £80 to buy anyway.

Thanks, ill have a look, yeah i was really suprised when she said i had that much to spend cant complain though, whats the general consensus on Breitling or Tag?

Breitling = try hard, £1500 gets you nothing.

Tag reminds me of one of those high end high street type shops, not a 'proper' designer, but reassuringly expensive.

And both look crap, skip!

Somewhat easier to make a fake pair of sunglasses than a fully mechanical watch with a transparent back and hundreds of tiny moving parts though isn't it.

Plus Ray-Bans are a hype item which get bummed by everyone from school kids to grandads. Don't remember that happening to Seiko 5 military watches.

Okay, I'll stop worrying about fakes.

So, the Diver or the Military?

I'm not baller enough for a Rolex, so I'm certainly not baller enough to make a simple decision like this all by myself.
