If you’re interested to hear the full James Bond theme that I made for this video you can find the longer version here: soundcloud.app.goo.gl/A3YCLzH27y4eio557 Originally I had no intention of making the whole gunbarrel intro and opening montage, but as I got further and further in to the edit I just couldn’t help myself. Yeah I know the animation on my channels digital avatar doing the ‘Bond walk, turn and shoot’ is a bit flumpy :P .. but well .. I’m not a professional animator, just a guy screwing around with DAZ studio. My good friend Richard Scorgie (a very notable photographer, and cinematographer) played the guitar riff for my Bond theme which made it sound SO MUCH MORE kick ass compared to the synth versions I had before. So, thanks for enjoying and please do feel free to download an enjoy my Bond theme which I proudly name the ‘No dime to buy’ theme in honour of this extraordinary cheapo, but fantastic watch!

Wonderful video!!!. I am an old man and have been collecting economic watches since the 50´s and witnessed the birth of Omegas Speedmaster, Seamaster and Railmaster in 1957. It is impossible to an normal argentine to buy Omegas, even U$S 100 is the salary of a month but now I have hope before I die. I have collaborated with a local Omega store and saw many brands with watches costing dozens of times more with failures of quality controls that would amaze you. Omega and Rolex could lower its prices too. We are not all in the First World. Cheers from frozen Patagonia, Argentina.
Many thanks for enjoying my video. Yes I completely understand .. myself I bought my first Seamaster back in 2001 and it cost significantly less than they do now. Sadly luxury watches are just getting more expensive and they show little sign of coming down. However there are other watch companies producing excellent pieces that homage the big brands (and I don't just mean chinese made homages). Check out WMT watches (www.wmtwatches.com/) for some rather nice vintage inspired pieces (I'll be reviewing the 'Live and Let Die - Sawblade' watch soon). Thanks for enjoying the video and commenting.

@@JustAboutTime @It's just about time I so thank you for sharing. To buy watches in countries earning 100 to 200 US dollars per month is harsh and 110% inflation per year. Actually govt punish this action with more than 100% taxes...Fisrt World is very good. Regads from frozen Patagonia, Argentina.
Just come across this video, your photography is superb, I got the phylida nttd with a PT 5000, a year ago your right it's a beauty ,swam, snorkelled with it , time keeping is superb, and a strap monster to boot, enjoyed the video thanks.
Many thanks for enjoying my video. I will make more eventually .. got a big back log of watches to review (even some locally made ones). Glad you're also enjoying this watch. Sometimes these homages are very hit and miss but this one is quite a nice watch with a decent movement. So thanks again.
That’s very interesting. I have tried on the real watch and it does look really nice though I’m not a fan of titanium watches .. I like to feel the weight on the wrist. And in all honesty, if I could easily afford it .. I’d probably buy it. But at the price point they have it’s just non sensical for me. But that’s very interesting to know that you prefer the fit of the Phylida. I own the Brosnan Bond watch and I do love the dimensions of that better than the newer Seamasters. This particular Phylida is truly amazing for it’s price point .. and the movement (PT5000) really makes it an incredible bargain. So thanks for chiming in and thanks for enjoying the review.
PT spec is +/- 12 sec per day, for the Miyota it is +/-30sec, they are not in the same leaque. I like the matte bezel and dial. The watch is truly beautiful, kudos to Omega. I have had a good laugh at the intro, Keep up the good work
You are absulut right... as well the Moonwatches from Phylida are also phantastic Great Review man, with the best Intro what I ever seen in the Hommage Review Scene. 👌😁
I can vouch for the PT5000 movement. It is astoundingly accurate in my Escapement Time. I'm waiting for my Phylida to arrive now. And one of the main reasons I went for it.
I own the PT5000 version, modded with a rubber strap. It is amazing and the movement is amazing. I noticed the price going up too! Glad it does not say Omega as I am OK wearing a homage. Oh, the PT5000 automatic watch movement is made by H.K. Precision Technology (HKPT) so only just China (really UK historically).
HK (Hong Kong) Precision Technologies do make a decent movement .. though sometimes you can end up with one that has too tight a cannon pinion, or the reverser wheels for the automatic assembly that have too little oil and end up jamming causing the rotor weight ot helicopter when winding the watch. But these are small issues that any decent watchmaker can sort out with little ado. Though not all PT5000's are made by HKPT .. some are made by other companies and those ones are a little suspect at times. The ones made by PT are typically pretty solid. And yes .. I would not have bought it had it said 'Omega' on the front. I will happily entertain a homage watch for my own enjoyment .. but not a fake. But I'm glad to hear you're enjoying it. It's a decent watch and you saved yourself several thousand dollars / pounds (whatever your currency) .. for the real thing. Of course .. the real watch is spectacular, but if you haven't got that kind of bread, or don't feel comfortable spending that much on a watch, this Phylida watch is a decent alternative. Especially for Bond cosplay :P
Totally agree and interesting points - did not realise not all are original PTs (China !!!) All I can say is when I got it adjusted at my jewellers it was put on a timographer and was +2secs so at this pricepoint I am more than happy. It does scratch that itch tobe honest. I also have an Omega vintage Geneva with a 565 movement dated from 1969 - such a small movement but +5 secs/day and 50hrs....total respect for the engineers of that era....that's fully acceptable today! I have various other swisses inc. my beater (Hydroconquest). Anyway loving your channel and thank you for the content.
Thank you for the detailed review. It's a very nice looking watch (very close to the real item, for a fraction of the price). The brown leather band really sets it off. I have pulled the trigger on this watch, with the PT5000 movement, during the 11/11 sale, along with a matching brown leather band.
Wish i had seen this before i ordered the Miyota version, try a San martin watch or a cronos. The leap in finish and quality is amazing. All round good video, not sure about the Jazz👍
Excellent review! I think this watch would look amazing (and much more like the Omega) on a stainless steel mesh strap. I may pick one of these up, if for no other reason, than to wear it when I go see the film! Keep up the good work - subscribed!
Many thanks fore enjoying the review. The watch does indeed suita number of different straps. And a Milanese bracelet is very Bond (for reasons that it is seen that way in the film along with the naoto strap). And for sure you’re buying it for the same reason I bought mine :P .. I would perhaps still like to have the real thing someday .. but not at the prices they ask for it new. The Phylida, for all its connotations of cheapness and imitation .. is a genuinely nice watch. I wear mine to work in place of my nicer watches and yet when I get home I don’t really want to take it off. It’s earned a place in my collection for sure.
Longines *(same Swatch Group as Omega) has taken over Omega as the 1k to 4k price bracket and they're making some stunning watches with mod in-house movements. I own a new Hydroconquest with the L.888.5 movement - really nice piece.
Oh I quite agree. There’s a Longines watch similar to the Aqua Terra that I’ve been interested in for a while .. looks great. As you say .. filling the gap that Omega has left. Much like what Tudor has done for Rolex.
Im looking to buy it. But i dont have too much trust on chineses 200m, i want it as a tool watch for the summer: swiming pool, beach... Do you recommend it, or someone from here tryed it in the water. Thank you very much for your review. Greetings from Spain.
In fairness to Phylida, and similar makes .. I think you are genuinely fine with the 200m water rating, particularly with this watch. It is pretty well built. It's only real flaw is just in it having a clone movement. It's not a professional dive watch .. but it is fine for a dip in the pool, or at the beach .. or even surfing.
An awesome program you produce! You described everything I hate about the Miyota movement with such elegance...it truly is a nasty movement. I'm going to purchase the 007 with the PT5000 movement on AliExporess today. A Chinese brand with a Chinese movement...it just makes sense for 1/100th the cost of the Omega. Look forward to listening to more of your reviews.
Many thanks, I haven't had too much free time to review more watches but this is changing as I now have a job at a watchmaker shop where I will be reviewing professionally, products and such. So there will be more watches I'll talk about. And yes .. that 8215 movement is just awful :P .. It works .. but it's not a graceful movement. For sure the PT5000 can be a little hit and miss too .. the ones that are made by HKPT (Hong Kong Precision Technologies) do tend to be better assembled .. there are other companies that make them too but they're not always as good. Ideally it's great if you see the HKPT stamp on the movement .. you won't see that until you buy the watch though. I have two watches with a PT5000 movement and they've both been very reliable. And this is a nice watch. Possibly the best omega homage and a great colour set.
Putting aside the fact that I'm still very upset they killed our beloved Bond... That's just NOT done... I ordered one of these a couple days ago. That was due to, in no small part, your review. I liked your enthusiasm and great camera work... Creative, crisp and clean.... Really showed the watch off very well. (It looks gorgeous.) I loved the intro too... Hard to beat the genus of John Barry. Nice job all the way around!
Can only agree .. John Barry is one of my biggest idols. If you check my video gallery you'll see a vid called 'Dancing about colour' .. it is a piece I wrote as an Ode to John Barry .. even the name is taken from a quote of his. As for the Bond film .. yeah I agree .. definitely NOT the way to do it. Gods only know what will come next. But the film was far less of a mess than I was expecting, so at least there's that. A cool watch Omega made .. too bad that you never get to really see it in the film. Glad you liked the review though .. man it was hard making the music to this .. the Bond theme is deceptively difficult in places. Thanks for enjoying. This watch is pretty nice though. Sure it's nothing on the original .. but then if I had the kind of money to blow on this thing, well then I'd be reviewing that instead :D But the Phylida homage is a pretty damned nice watch. I wear it to work quite often.
I thought this watch looked amazing so I bought one myself. The one decision I made that I hope I don’t regret was opting for the Miyota movement. Even though still a great price, the extra $80 put it in a price range that I really couldn’t justify. Maybe if I sat back for a few days before pulling the trigger I may have made a different choice, but then who knows. I was thinking I might spend a bit of that savings and engrave the watch back like the Omegas 🤔🤔
You know what .. I do tend to give that movement (the Miyota 8215) a lot of sh*t .. but in fairness .. it is generally a fairly reliable movement. It keeps decent time, and is easy to fix is something goes wrong. I don't tend to like it mostly for reasons that I don't like how it feels, and sounds. The gear trains tend to be a little 'slack' .. but it's fair from the worst movement ever made. I'm just being a bit high minded about it. You certainly save yourself some dough by not buying the PT5000 version .. but to be sure .. the PT5000 is an excellent movement. So honestly I wouldn't worry about it. I'm sure you'll enjoy the watch. I wear mine often and it's very eye catching on the wrist.
I hate the 8215 with a flaming passion that burns with the heat of a thousand suns. Just such a cheap and nasty movement. However, it does make the watch cost less .. so there's that.
@@JustAboutTime man, you had me worried I was going to hate it, but I don't. I was worried it was going to be as loud as this Forsining I have, but it's not so bad, and it's updated with hacking and handwinding 😁
@markrusso9235 Hi there! Did you buy yours at Aliexpress? I've asked for Phylida if they improved with an Hackable movement but they never reply to my messages...
It is a tiny smidgen smaller than my actual Omega Seamaster (Brosnan Bond) .. So I’d say 40mm. Though I think it’s shown as 41mm on the website. I have 7.5 inch wrists and I feel it fits nicely. 42mm tends to be my sweet spot. But for sure it is a very nice looking and feeling watch. And the PT5000 movement really makes it seem like a quality product.
It's a 20mm width, 46mm lug to lug .. as for the length of a leather strap? .. not quite sure what you mean? Or are you referring to the end links protruding out a bit? In which case it's about 48-49mm lug to lug. Pretty reasonable .. certainly not the worst I've seen on a Homage. Thanks for enjoying the review.
@@JustAboutTime yeah I meant the end links. Thanks for the measurements. I'm afraid it won't fit my tiny wrists... My max lug to lug is about 42mm tops.
I can understand a gold watch or platinum watch costing a few thousand dollars, not tens of thousands of dollars, but a stainless steel watch costing $14,000.00 is impossible to understand. No stainless steel watch should cost over $700 and that's being generous.
In fairness to the Real Bond watch .. it is a thing of beauty and technical excellence. The movement is second to none, and it's made with an extreme level of engineering and precision .. as all Omega's are. But .. the problem with this watch is that it is essentially a movie tie-in prop / product. No serious diver would buy this for diving .. no soldier would use this in the field, and no one who earns less than a lawyers pay will be able to afford it. Of course .. it's a luxury watch .. that's understood. But I think Omega missed the mark with this watch as it is clear a watch aimed at fans of the James Bond franchise. When one considers just how beloved the original Brosnan Bond Seasmaster is .. and how many people bought it because of the James Bond movies. That watch started many peoples collections and is often cited as a lot of peoples first luxury watch. It cost a lot but not a staggering amount. I could find a way to afford it as a working class guy in my twenties. So fast forward to the NTTD watch .. and the cost difference is just too much. They needed to produce a steel version with a MUCH lower price tag. The Phylida version may not be any great shakes in the stakes of luxury watches ..but for a movie tie-in prop .. it makes far more sense to spend $220 than the massive amount Omega is asking. Thanks for enjoying my vid.
Well, luxury goods in general are ridiculously overpriced, from watches, to automobiles, to leather handbags, to clothing, and especially, to me - jewelry. An ounce or so of gold alloy and a shiny rock costing half a year's salary? Ridiculous! But - anything is worth whatever people will pay for it. Nowhere is this more apparent than with art 😂. As for watches - I would agree that in terms of manufacturing costs and materials, a stainless steel watch- even a superbly built, actually certified professional diver's watch - should be no more than around $1000 USD. Think those excellent Seiko dive watches (even though many of those are becoming collectibles in their own right). Swiss brands are heavily trading on their marketing and hype and perception of supreme quality. If a Chinese factory can make what is, by any objective measure, an excellent automatic timepiece which will last many years and keep very good time, and can withstand the typical rigors of 99.9% of people's daily usages - and sell such watches for less than $200 USD - that definitely says something!
This is an excellent review (apart from the total lack of a lume shot). I got the gen 1 version (100M WR and white date dial). It is pretty good but the dial and bezel are shiny. It does have the 007 feel though, but this one looks really good. I actually want to get one of these, but the link you have shows dials & bezels that are very shiny? How will I know that if I buy a new one that I'll get one with the matt dial and bezel? No Dime To Buy!!! Lolz - Vosson!!! :D :D :D
Yeah .. it's too bad I didn't do a lume shot because this watch actually has pretty incredible lume. Nice and bright, very vintage looking green lume and stays bright for a nice long time. Something to remember for me to do on the next review. Not sure why the link you have points to the 'shiny' bezel ones .. when I open that link I see the matte bezel version?!? So I'm not sure about that. The biggest give away if it's the newer 'matte' version or not is if the Date wheel has the white text on black background .. if it's the other way around then it's the older version. So I don't know what to say .. but just looking at the version on the Ali Express website it seems to have been updated again with a double dome sapphire and a nice back with engraving. I think it is the matte bezel looking at it. And yes .. I'm VERY proud of coining this the 'No Dime to buy' watch .. you heard it here first :P
Display back? .. you mean a replacement display case back for the case? I think you’d have to ask Phylida about that. It’s possible they do make one for a different model that uses the same type of case .. but I wouldn’t know myself. Can only suggest to contact the guys at Phylida, they’re usually pretty responsive and willing to help you out with questions.
Hey there .. yeah it can be a trouble to decide. I have to say that I’ve been wearing this watch for use at work for a while now and I’m truly astounded at the accuracy of the PT5000 movement. It REALLY is as good as chronometer grade ETA 2824. That’s not to say it might last as long or anything like that .. but it has been functioning to within COSC limits for months. And it looks great too. I can only say that there’s no wrong choice on these kinds of watches .. you buy them to enjoy them. But for sure the PT5000 is a remarkable movement, and I will always opt for one of those over any other kind of movement in these cheapie watches.
I had a bliger gmt seamaster homage. I think the stem broke in half within a week. This was caused from the stem having a issue switching from position 1 and 2. Looked nice for a while.
Yes I wasn’t really over impressed with parnis / bliger / corgeut. But Phylida seems to be a different company and the whiskies level on the average piece is higher than that of bliger. This is why a like the PT5000 movement .. it’s simply better made and more expensive than the cheapie Mingzu’s or Miyota movements that they use. Even the Hangzhou movements offer superior quality (especially for GMT’s) .. I’ll be reviewing a Cronos with a Hangzhou 6460 movement soon .. it’s quite impressive, though not cheap.
@@JustAboutTime I will have to take a look at Phylida some time. You are right about not being impressive with Bliger. Loose bezel, horrible lume and low end movement. I wound up tossing the watch away and purchased a Islander (Islander ISL-02) watch from Marc over at Long Island watches. I was so overly impressed with the ISL-02 watch that it set the bar up high for all watch purchases I make in the future.
@@america0014 Phylida do a pretty decent job on this (the NTTD watch) and most of the Rolex and Omega Homages. The exception being the Omega Speedy homage ... stay away from that as its utter crap .. I have one and it's VERY unimpressive, and downright disappointing when compared with other Phylida watches. But I can say that the general build quality of Phylida seems to be pretty good. But also as I pointed out in the review .. you have companies like 'Steinhart' the offer incredible homages that reference, rather than copy, certain watches .. contain great movements and really satisfy. I have a 'romancing' video review on the Steinhart Ocean One GMT that you can view if you're curious.
Don’t get me wrong .. the real watch is a DAMN nice watch. But it’s a far cry from the original Brosnan Bond watch which, although still expensive, was far more affordable. And since this watch is a movie tie-in I just think Omega missed the mark with their watch. It should have been half the price that it is .. and made of Steel .. not titanium (of course.. just my opinion). Ands for sure .. this Phylida will never live up to the real thing .. but for $225 CAD .. does it even have to?
@It's just about time oh hey! I've purchased the watch because of you xD The rotor is a bit loud and screwing in and out seems to be hard. Time keeping is fine, but Especially screwing in the crown is the hardest action I've ever seen on a watch. Are these normal for pt5000?
@@saatlerucuzolsun Hey there .. Surprised to hear the rotor is loud, I can certainly hear the one on mine but I wouldn’t call it exceptionally loud. As for the crown? .. Hmmm .. sounds like that’s not quite right. Might be worth having a watch maker to check it out and see if they can apply some ‘Fomblin’ oil to make it easier to screw in and out. Sadly, the worst part of these watches is that it is sometimes hit and miss as to the quality you get. The two I’ve had have been good, but not totally without some issues .. but I have had my local watchmaker fix those small issues. But I hope, other than those small problems, that you’re enjoying the watch.
@It's just about time well, in this 2 weeks period the watch has gotten better. The rotor is definitely louder than, say, nh35 watches that I own. I barely hear anything from Seikos, San Martins, Paganis or Seesterns nh35. But this one is definetely audible. Not so much tho. And as for fhe the crown action, it's still harder to screw it in but I'm getting used to it. Thank you for the reply btw.
Unfortunately it seems Phylida changed the colorway on the bezel. Now it has a gross yellowish look rather than the previous colorway, which looked much closer to the Omega.
Hmm .. well the previous version of this watch did have a ceramic bezel .. it’s possible you’re seeing the last iteration and not this newer one. One giveaway for the previous version is that the date wheel has black text on white background. I prefer this matte look .. which is closer to the NTTD watch .. and preffered for me anyways.
@@JustAboutTime so I've heard this comment everywhere, maybe even from the same person I'm not sure. The watch that phylida sells on their official Ali store is this matte one you reviewed, right?
@@prancey227 yes the one I reviews is a matte bezel. According to their changelog this was the 4th revision of this watch. They do specifically say the bezel insert was changed on the latest version to matte
@@HammerfallJonas that’s too bad if they did change it back .. but I rather think that maybe they’ve just run out of stock if the latest version and are selling some of the older ones. On Ali express you can actually specify if you want the older ones .. some people like the shiny bezel.
I was waiting for a version to come out with a more accurate color scheme now it really makes me wanna buy this. Can you get it with the milanese bracelet?
You mean it's less yellowish in the bezel? It certainly looks better in this video but I'm not sure if it's just the video or that they've actually changed the color.
@@HammerfallJonas Well it's a matte finish in this version .. so the yellow colour on the indexes is more muted .. plus the bezel colour is more tobacco brown. It's not exact to the Omega watch .. but it's closer than most other homages that I've looked at. And certainly closer than the ceramic bezel version.
It’s this one: m.aliexpress.com/item/4001302597311.html?spm=a2g0n.productlist.0.0.b18717705YtFhC&browser_id=1de6b27c7a9b44f198189a2777b45a0e&aff_trace_key=&aff_platform=msite&m_page_id=h2ycfjrkzd0carhy17a6c8fce3bb6bbc9f9174fbfd&gclid=&_imgsrc_=ae01.alicdn.com%2Fkf%2FHda58a9851b93429f88b405867cf8c040g.jpg_640x640Q90.jpg
Admittedly the pics don’t really do it justice, it looks nicer in person. But so long as the date wheel has white text and black background .. that’s the newest version. Hope you enjoyed the review.
@@cosmodoc oddly enough the company ‘Watchstrapcentral’ makes an amazing NTTD nato that is the best quality I’ve seen. I bought a 22mm version to use with my Tudor Blackbay and Bremont Supermarine. I’ll show that off in a later video
here's a question then. If this can "scratch the itch" to buying a real Omega NTTD die watch then how can anyone say buying a "real fake" NTTD watch can't?
Because there's an order of magnitude difference between buying a homage .. and buying a fake. One is legal .. the other is not. And the Homage .. whilst cheeky .. isn't trying to pretend it's actually an Omega. The other is. I can't say for sure that I think all Homages are strictly kosher ... but I'd rather people buy a homage than a fake any day. And if you don't have $10,000 plus to buy the real thing .. well, then this is the answer. Consider it the place holder for the real thing.
They both are quite nice .. but I think I like this one slightly better as a replica of the NTTD watch as the other one the dial isn’t quite right :P I guess it’s really down to personal choice, either watch is a good Budget Bond watch :D
@@JustAboutTime yeah it looks a little blue the heim watch doesn’t it. Only difference really now is that it’s titanium . Does this phylida look like titanium is it brushed steel? It’s not really shiny or out is it you think it looks close to the original? Thanks for the reply!
@@richardlittle9975 yes I saw that the other is made of titanium .. though I’m skeptical of that considering the price point. Titanium is expensive so I’m not sure how they get away with using that and only charging slightly more. The Phylida is steel and polished like a regular Seamaster. That coupled with the lack of a boxed domed sapphire and a 40mm diameter are the main inconsistencies for this being an ‘exact’ replica .. but overall the look and feel of this watch (and an excellent movement) make it a worth while purchase. Well .. at these price points you can easily buy both eh 😉
@@JustAboutTime asaarghh decisions decisions I really don’t know! Im edging towards the phylida one. Wonder if you can get a Milanese mesh bracelet for it that will fit perfect? Would have to order extra. Also think I would order on the nato strap as I would use that and the Milanese one only and wouldn’t use the bigger metal standard one! Is the polished parts very suitable? Like are most parts brushed apart from the little lugs on side or? Man this is a hard one but really wanna order 1 of them in the next day or so! Thanks for reply let’s see what you think haha! …
What can I say .. I'm a sucker for lounge jazz :P No music at all seemed kind barren .. but I'll try to choose something a little more upscale next time. Glad you liked the review overall though :D
Well it should have taken you to the Phylida store at Ali express .. and it used to so .. I don’t know what to tell you!? I tried the link myself and it does indeed take me direct to this Phylida watch.
It’s a decent to watch .. well built and keeps tine with chronometer accuracy. Definitely ever reason to buy if it’s something you want. If you’re only after the real omega .. then your choice is clear. But at least there’s a choice.
True .. but at the end of the day I don't mind this watch looking a little less like the actual thing. Makes it a touch less cheeky when people can clearly see it's not the real Omega
Yeah I don’t think it really does anything. It does unscrew and seems to have some inner mechanism but I wouldn’t wanna test it under actual depth conditions. But it’s a 200 meter rated watch anyways so …. Still .. this watch is more for cosplay replica than for using as a diver. But it truly is a nice watch, and keeps excellent time.
Why buy a fake watch? To wear in your fake "Ferrari" bodied Fiero with your wife wearing a cubic zirconium wedding ring? Come on - buy a Seiko or TAG until you can afford a real Omega or whatever. Real is real, and fake is fake. If you want a Bond watch, buy a nice pre-owned mid-2000's Omega Planet Ocean 2500 from Casino Royale for about $3K.
First .. it’s not a ‘fake’ .. no where on this watch will you find the word ‘Omega’ .. it’s a homage. You could call it a replica … but the term ‘fake’ is incorrect. Secondly .. the real thing costs with tax $13,600 CAD … and this Phylida costs $225. This is a watch for those that don’t have, or don’t want to spend .. thousands of dollars. Not everyone is a high income earner .. I’m certainly not. I entirely agree the the real thing is a far nicer watch, but that’s not the point of a homage watch. They are cosplay watches at best .. though I stand by what I say when I say that this watch is well built and if you’re ‘average joe’ with the typical income as such .. you’d probably be very happy to be able to buy this watch. This watch scratches the itch to have the real thing .. until you can afford the real thing.
I can afford the real one and I love the looks of it, but to me, the Omega no way is worth spending $US9000 on it. Therefore I buy the best available replica, one that will give me years of pleasure as well!
heh .. true, I wasn't doing all that well financially when I made this video. Not that I'm rich now .. but my earnings have improved quite a bit. Which reminds me .. I REALLY need to make the video of my Rolex (a watch I never imagined I'd get to own).
