I assume you mean the Persio one. Sorry to hear that, glad you didn't have a lot invested (but then I have a LOT of cheap watches -- all of 'em work fine, and I've replaced a LOT of batteries, but they just keep ticking as long as I give them a new $5 battery about once a year --not really a major investment for the pleasure of wearing lots of different watches -- I tend to treat them as "bracelets" that keep time). My Persio is still going strong, probably about two years old now. Guess I'm just lucky with cheap watches . . . . Nice to know I'm lucky with SOMETHING.

I just bought the Persio last week - so far so good. My kids keep telling me I check the time way too much now because I think I am looking at Magnum's wrist. Probably true!

Anybody know where I can get one of these:

It's an Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean. I would like a replica because a real one is about $3000 USD and thats a lot of money for a watch. I actually like the look better than most rolexes.

Just ordered myself a GMT Master replica with the 'Pepsi' bezel from ReplicaCafe. Fingers crossed it's as good as the photos.

I wonder how they get away with shipping to the US? It's a clear patent infringement.

I don't understand how they can exist at all? You'd think Rolex and similar co's would sue them immediately and try to have them shut down. But hey, it's probably the only way I'm going to get a 'Rolex' so I won't complain. :D

Not to mention poor taste, and a bad replica.

Sorry, but fake watches (replica is just a foggy term) and quality don't go together.
