"Best Swiss" Yachtmaster

[AllergyDoc 40]

I bought this about 3 years ago for $1,050, before I found the replicas boards. "James" of Best Swiss came on RWG1 and RWGjr last year in an attempt to drum up some business, I assume. He claims the watches he sold were "Taiwan Best" models, the type of watches that Eddie Lee and River used to sell. I don't know if he was telling the truth or not (as everything on his web site is a lie--904L, 27J, solid gold, genuine Rolex dials, etc.--it's not likely) but this watch is one of the best made replicas I own.

 

I had it sized at the AD and they were either being polite or thought it was a gen as they simply sized it for me for free and handed it back with a compliment. (I think they were being polite.)

 

I ordered it with the "new" mother-of-pearl dial and "Moissanite" synthetic diamonds . What a sucker I was.

I wasn't able to capture the MOP color. Rats.

 

 

Here's the end-link. Not all gold but it gives you an idea of how thick the plating is:

A stunning watch, IMO, one that used to get a lot of wrist time way back when, before I had so many nice watches to choose from.

 

I think this watch, or at least one very close to it, can be purchased for about $278 from Josh. I do not recommend buying from Best Swiss as James is a liar and gouges his customers.

James is a scumbag, but that's certainly a real nice rep....

Has anyone owned a Noob YM?

I had a noobie YM from Andrew:

 

 

(Imagecave was still on the fritz when I made this post. The pics will show up eventually.)

 

I wasn't wearing my white-dial watches then, so I sold it.
