Patek Philippe 5119G from Silix

Recommended Posts

Seven7r

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!

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...................

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.

Is the Asian Hand-Wind movement the same as the Asian 21J movement?

Except it's hand wound instead of being automatic?
