It only cost 50$ or so, but it actually went quite well. Today, 18 years later, it is still ticking away. I have never timed it, but my guess is that its time-keeping is lousy. Also, the whole case and "crystal" glass is covered in scratches. However, it was this watch that made me go out and buy a real Submariner for myself after all these years. I guess something good came out of it. You keep a very nice blog by the way, thanks! My dad once bought a fake Rolex Submariner while we were on vacation.

If you read my post you would know that I don't think very highly of counterfeit watches or the people who make them. You say that buying a counterfeit is the only way you could buy a watch with a well-known name, except you still wouldn't have a watch with a well known name. I think I'll tackle this issue in a new post today. Mikle,
