Hi guys...
I noticed a seller on eBay selling what appears to me to be two pretty decent builds.
Item # 172253279346 is a nice sapphire chrono with a Seagull and a display back. Nothing special, but looks pretty cool to me.
same seller, item # 172352129109 packs a NH35 and a nice marinemaster vibe. Sapphire crystal and cool caseback.
Anybody know this cat or have any thoughts....

Don't know the seller, sorry.
That second one 172352129109 certainly states on the label (dial) what it is .. Limited Edition 6105 8110.
Don't know about the QC on these ?

These are $100 watches at the very best. They also have stolen IP.
They may be decent watches but are over priced and bordering on fake :-/
There are better examples out there that don't pretend to be something they are not!

I'd steer well clear of this sort of stuff, there's no value and inside the dials are often held on with glue because they don't know how to add dial feet.

I reckon they're great! The price is good and as they say you get what you pay for, cheep and cheerful. A good way to try out a 6105 without spending huge amounts and worrying about damaging it. There are those that scoff at homages/replicas/fakes and those that revel in the ability to try before you buy, realistically most people couldn't tell the difference, in fact there are forums that dedicate themselves to the cheeper alternative  |

There is however, everything wrong about fakes and replicas. Homages of most popular watches can be found everywhere and are definitely one of the best and least expensive ways to try out a model. |
