BEING THE BEARER OF BAD NEWS..........ALMOST  EVERY  WATCH OF CHINESE ORIGIN IS A CHEAPLY PRESSED OUT IMITATION. WHILE ON HOLIDAY IN SHANGHAI  I SEEN REPLICAS THAT WERE ALMOST PERFECT IN EVERY WAY BEING SOLD IN MARKETS FOR $5.00  AND I MUST ADMIT SOME WERE OF VERY HIGH QUALITY (SOME  HAD OLDER AUTOMATIC MOVEMENTS OF SWISS OR JAPANESE ORIGIN AND HAD  FAKE  ROTORS ON THE WINDING PENDULUM!!) WHILE IN CHINA I VISITED A PORCELAIN FACTORY  AND WAS AMAZED AT THE LEVEL OF DETAIL THAT THE ARTISANS COULD TURN OUT IN A PRODUCTION LINE ATMOSPHERE. I BOUGHT A GENUINE OMEGA SEAMASTER FOR  $150.00 !!  AND THERE WERE PLENTY OF REAL BARGAINS THERE .....PROBABLY ILLEGAL TO BUY A BUNCH THOUGH AND MOST LIKELY SOME BAD KARMA TO GO ALONG WITH IT AS WELL.IT IS WELL WORTH THE MONEY TO TAKE A VACATION TO CHINA AND BUY AS MUCH  HIGH END WATCHES AS YOU CAN FIND,,,,YOU'LL SAVE A TON OF MONEY AND HAVE A GREAT TIME.........MAIL YOUR ITEMS THROUGH  EMS WHEN YOU ARE OVER THERE,,,,PAY SOMEONE TO DECLARE THE ITEMS AS USED WATCHES.   GOOD LUCK
