Seven7r 0 Posted June 21, 2014 (edited) Hey Guys! I just wanted to know if this Patek Philippe 5119G from Silix is a replica that is worth the $76 it costs. I'm only getting an economy model because I don't have $300 to spend on a replica with the Swiss movement. Link: http://www.silix-pri...roducts_id=4448 The flaws that it has AFAIK, are: - Font is a bit bolder than the gen models - The recessed seconds subdial - The Patek Philippe is engraved on the top of the watch buckle, instead of being engraved below - Of course the movement on the back, when seen through the glass back of the case Are these the only visual flaws that it has? Are the Chinese Hand-Wind movements utter shit? Or are they okay in terms of the price of the watch? Would you guys recommend changing the strap if I do get it? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Edited June 22, 2014 by Seven7r Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gtwc 1 Posted June 21, 2014 Honestly - for $76 what more can you expect? Price is superb - if it goes wrong, throw it away ! Why worry about something this cheap? BTW don't expect perfection................... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Necromancer 8 Posted June 21, 2014 I think Reg (narikaa) also does a great and reasonably priced version of this watch https://www.dropbox.com/sh/pdm5cn4jyw2ky6b/AACGFyngxAdyQysIjaP83H4Va/MENS%20WATCHES%20UK Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Seven7r 0 Posted June 22, 2014 (edited) Bytor, how much should I expect Narikaa's 5119 to cost? Around $100? But wait, it has that date on the right hand side, and I don't think there's a 5119 (or any previous models) that had this.

Seven7r 0 Posted June 22, 2014 Is the Asian Hand-Wind movement the same as the Asian 21J movement? Except it's hand wound instead of being automatic? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
