hate to bother you again, but I tried on a Breitling and I really am not sure if I can pull it off. My wrists aren't that large and it looks quite insane on me so I might go with the Link. I know you swear by Precious Time "ptswiss" but they are asking almost $300 and other sites are a bit cheaper. Are all of them the same with varying degrees of QC?

Thank You

SFSO "Swiss" is among the top replicas ever (when it comes to case construction and quality). If you can get it under $300... it's not too much for this watch (imho). The Asian versions don't compare and you can't buy an ETA automatic watch in similar quality anywhere. Definitely a legendary rep.

My only concern with the new batches is the date font. The original batch had an excellent font.

PS: Since you guys have bumped this old thread, I decided to update the wrist shot picture in it. (taken yesterday) :thumbsupsmileyanim:

Hi, I'm looking at getting the SFSO from perfect clones. Its on there at $358.00. It will be my first purchase.I do own a gen Omega Seamaster Professional. After reading your helpful review the only question i have is on your last post you said your only concern is the date font. Whats the concern with this? Would it be possible to get one of the old batch.
Just out of interest do you think this is the best rep made or is there anything better?
Thanks for any reply

Glad you like it. It was a pleasure to write and photograph too.

It's been what... 4+ years, but everything that was said in the review is still valid information. Swiss Fish and UPO are among the top-5 diver reps ever made.

Yeah it's great.

I got both because of your review. Had them both for years.. and love them. My UPO is frankenized.. and the Steelfish is "in the shop" for crown issues :(

I recall it was the same fate as with many other dealers: At some point he got into some kind of trouble and stopped delivering already paid watches to the members. It was some sort of scandal back then.

Hello,
Really great review indeed, for two great watches, although, I have a preference for the Breitling. As the review is quite old, do you guys know where it would be still available?
I found this one: http://www.1-pc8838....813-p-2575.html
but not sure if it is the same, do you think this version is good?

Thanks guys!
