I am impressed with some of the ones I've seen, they use the same steel and a nice ETA movement.

Debaufre Ocean 1 looks pretty good too.

I would definetely put a nato strap on it if I got one of the watches.

You know, I think we all jumped the gun here , including myself.  I saw the words "fake Rolex" and went from there.  After finally reading this post, I see (at least I think) SeikoDiverFan is talking about homages and not fakes/replicas.  He even mentions the Debaufre as an example of what he is talking about...so...my apologies for jumping the gun!
I think are were aware of this Ken....I'm talking about Aldovino and what he posted just now... he resurrected this 6 mo. old thread from Dec. 08'

Okie-Dokie then!!! :D
