I've seen these on WatchRecon go for around $200USD. Used mind you....but, ahhh I wouldn't pay close to $400 for it.

I have a funny feeling that trailboss posted a pic of one he has, so I think he own's one but could be wrong. I think they're quite nice

I like these quite a bit. I wish they were slightly bigger, even 40mm and I might take a crack at one.

They are pretty nice. A co-worker had one but sold it because he wasn't wearing it. I also agree that it should be around $200.

You can get this from an ebay seller for much less, I haven't ordered from this seller but based on his feedbacks received, he seemed to be reliable.

Actually that seller is mentioned multiple times on some of the other forums for being a reputable seller of homages so should be ok, but of course before any purchase on fleabay do your own research as much as possible

Wow never seen or heard of these but I really like it, love the small size and classic chronograph look, this might have to go on my New Years list!

He does, it's his daily beater and has been for months. The 21 Jewels does not mean it has a 21j in it. The watch uses a Sea-Gull ST19 which is a great MVT.

Never seen this before! Very nice. Shame it's 38mm.

It wears bigger Pharmo, it's all dial and a very thin bezel.

It had to be 38mm, it's an official "replica" after all.

There seems to be a 42mm version knocking around for those with inadequacy issues :rofl:

The dial is a thing of beauty, Horologium's pics are far better than I can take. It's not quite silver and not quite gold.
