Keep in mind that the Tiger is a watch that cost's +/- 120$, so i don't expect a GS finish on it, tough i wan't the finish to be "good" for the $ / £ / €. If a brand makes "hommages" of such niche-models, i kinda think the company has a few watch-enthousiasts on their payroll. I mean it like this : if i buy a fake GMT or smtn, i know i get "tapped in the ass", but if i buy a hommage of a watch that is no longer available (for reasonable prices), i think the watch should be "correct" for the price you paid for it.....

I have one of these with the DG movement and it is not bad. It keeps good time and the only thing that let's it down is the screw down crown. On mine it is slightly crooked when screwed down.

Geez isn't that the truth!
I don't get very excited about Sub clones, but I appreciate watches that put their own spin on a classic design.

So, what's the deal with the last one pictured in the sequence, that has a June 2012 date on the dial? Also, a depth of 7000+ meters?? What the hell is up with that? Cameron's dive was 3 months before that, so what's this?? (I know... a lot of question marks)
PS: I like the COMEX copy too... from a distance...
I have found that some people just like to hear themselves typing.

I would have you know I laughed loud enough that several tables around turned to look at me. Bravo.
