Wristwatch collectors out there?

[the nub]

what's everyone's opinion on the quality of the replica watches? I've always wondered how good the detail and movements were. I actually don't wear a watch anymore and have my dad's old '60s Seamaster in a drawer so I'm not in the market for a replica. Just curious.

Some are quite convincing, espeically Rolex. Stick to stainless with little complications.

The homage watches are very good quality. They use pretty much the same materials and even movements as the originals.

Finally got my grandfather's watch back from servicing.. Didn't have the original band with it so I'm currently on the lookout for an omega band that doesnt cost a week's pay and that actually fit's my wrist

Awesome. That's a beauty man. I did the same when my grandfather passed, except the watch I got wasn't nearly what you have there. Probably cost me three times what the watch is actually worth to fservice it. Nonetheless, I love putting it on. Brings back some awful good memories.
