So I am working on the Bishop replica for this year's fan table. Since the real thing ranges from 700-1000.00 does anyone know of a close/cheaper alternative? I know any black watch as no one will notice but I will and want to get close.

Thanks!

What about a Casio G-Shock?

Depending "how close" and "how cheap" you want to go, here are some choices I thought looked so-so (none of them are an exact match). I've purchased from this website myself (bought a knockoff Omega Speedmaster for my astronaut suit), and it is legitimate. Arrived in four days via EMS.

These range from cheap to really cheap. :wink:


One caveat- The Speedmaster watch I bought works... so long as I wind it daily. Otherwise it stops after a day or so.

It will be built just looking for a good base to work from.
Thanks!

I made a graphic of the top ring numbers already.

Could make you a 3d print watch body to start with.

Like a dumbass I left the watch in Georgia. I will be picking it up in a couple weeks. Here is what is being used. This is the auction I won.

It has the 3 dials and was cheap. I will pop off the glass and modify it than offset it with a new band/base. More pics as soon as I get it. Matt I will need your print out.

Thanks!
