Explorer II Replica

[novaol]

This morning I was browsing at PHing, saw this Explorer II replica on sale, and wow becos the watch look very nice. I'm surprise that they can made it so close to the real thing and quality wise near there. Saw even chapter ring, no pin-hole too. Listed also mentioned Swiss Movement Graded AAA.. ha ha

Top grade one huh

The case & bracelet can look the same, movement can never be.

for the watchmaker with an engineering facility, any parts can be made to replicate the mov't and im talking both function and aesthetically, you will be amazed at what a cnc router can do these days. however it may/may not be cost effective. who knows on a large scale maybe?

Not having seen the 'real' thing yet, who is to say that this isn't the real thing? Personally, I can't even tell if it is fake either.

I have seen companies time and again posting on the web, pictures of the real watch, to give you the impression that is the watch that you will get. I am 100% sure though that the person buying it will be sorely disappointed when the replica finally arrives.

I have to agree with you Seiko.citizen, If the people can come up with an idea to clone and produce the watch which may be lower in cost, it will be best targeted for lower income who wish to own one but not able to afford a real thing, at the some times looks very close to the real stuff and not noticeable by a Rolex expert at a glance is a job well done here. Plus with todays technology, anyone can produce or replicate the same or even close internal mechanism which makes it thick the same, looks the same and even works the same as the real stuff.

It looks very Top Grade to me now.. clean and markers are sharp and deep as the original, Date magnify also clear, wordings no mistake in spelling (ha ha)

Let me tell you how to spot the rep.

Notice the hand stack ? Color of the GMT hands ? "Orange EXPLORER font"

REAL (Hour/GMT/Min/sec)

FAKE (GMT/Hour/Min/Sec)

Where did u see the fake explorer?

The fugazi seems to be neither here nor there on what it planned to replicate... Many inconsistencies can be identified...

It copied the dial of the new Explorer II with the maxi-dial and orange lettering, but pretty sure dial dimensions remained the same...

On to the hands, it copied the the colour of new GMT hand but not the shape, and fails to upgrade the hour & minute hands... New ones are fatter....

Next, the case & bezel did not get an upgrade, bezel markings still on the anorexic side... & case likely remained at 40mm...

thats what you get when you mate the old explorer II with the new explorer II. a premature hybrid
