Anyone knows anything about this one?



Bought it here, it's completely sterile, and I can't get it opened locally to check to movement.

Here's an image from the seller, who obviously have a better cam than I.

I love that Bund strap. here is my Orient 2ER on my Bund with deployment clasp

That looks a lot like one of Ray Wong's homages that has possibly been relumed. If it is one of Ray's watches, it probably has a Miyota movement in it. To compare, Ray's ebay seller name is watchesu571

Honestly these homage watches or watches that have been redialed with no wording or brand on them just makes them look extremely cheap.

hey youre right.

almost every watch in this thread is extremely cheap to buy, and arguably (matter of opinion), cheap to look at and have varying degrees of quality. what i am trying to convey is that some examples are more successfull than others.

i certainly dont hold that against anyone!

i also dont think that anyone that has posted in this thread thinks otherwise, to be truthful.

your observation mr j_stuff is quite derogatory.

To each their own and it is a matter of opinion. Remember Rule #2, members will be kind and courteous to one another. If one doesn't like sterile homages, no comment needs to be made.

Peeps with cheap eyes see and look one and sundry as cheap.

Why are you lurking here then?

There's a reason they're called "sterile." But sterile isn't bad. It's simply "unmarked." Some may prefer it to a Sub homage with similar or entirely different markings on the dial from the classic crown and name. (Me, I like the Steinhart marking, but think the Debaufre marking on the same watch is kind of clumsy. Don't look for logic; it's an emotional response.)

Just as there is a universe of watch styles and prices to suit every taste, there are almost infinite possibilities within the dive watch genre. Exhibit A: the variety and customization opportunities over at MK II. You can mix and match Rolex, Omega, MoD, NATO influences until the sea cows come home. That's not even counting strap options: rubber, silicon, nylon, velcro, land animal, sea animal,... Dive watches can be decorative or functional, with infinite variations in between. I think that's very cool.

IMHO I don't think j_stuff is deriding anyone here, just expressing personal opinion about a certain style dial. So far's I see in the forum rules, no one is discouraged from having an opinion and expressing it. If your feelings are bruised by someone else's opinion, that's your responsibility, no one else's. You are welcome to simply ignore such posts if they're aggravating. If you must respond, here's a tip for all: attack the ideas, not the person.
