1. Did Magnum wear a GMT Masters or a Masters II?
2. Is there a preferred replica site for these? I see them from 68 dollars to 400.
Thank you
Hello ironfist

I certainly understand the limits of a father with 3 kids. I'd certainly prefer not owning a Rolex if my alternative to this would be a fake,

MPI wore a GMT Master in the show, not a II

Thank you guys for the response. Looks like I got some hunting to do. Unless I find a Chronosport.

SUBMARINER

#18 Post by MagnumILWU »

I have a fake Rolex I bought back in the mid 90's. It's a SUBMARINER. It looks just like the other watches; stainless, blue-red timer dial,dark face. If you didn't know the exact model, you would think it was Magnum's watch! It's really a nice looking watch. Anyone have, or seen one of these?

Sure. It's a different watch. Meant for diving. Real ones never had a pepsi bezel.

Mine has the . Pepsi bezel, with 2-22 on it. The quick set date. Under SUBMARINER, 4000ft 500m, superlative chronometer, officially certified. I think I paid $30-50 back then. Mine is more than fine with me, not paying $5,000-6,000 for a watch!
