Remember, you get what you pay for. Alpha watches aren't exactly high quality (I wouldn't get it wet, for example). JMHO

I think that the difference between an $8,000 watch and a $46 knockoff isn't lost on anybody. I say, if you want a "Magnum PI" watch, and don't have the $8K for one, then buy the knockoff! At least that way, if you lose it, it won't break your heart.

I know you get what you pay for it, but it's just for fun. If it was, lets say a couple hundred $, then that's a little different story, but it's only $46 and if it breaks or gets lost, no big lost. Don't get me wrong though, if I had $8000 just sitting around like a millionaire does than I would drop the money down for a Rolex, no second thought. Aloha

Thanks HIGGIE BABY!

I've been looking for a new watch. Now I don't have to look any further!

This is an exact replica of the Rolex GMT. My take on the rolex GMT is this. Rolex no longer offers the GMT with the Magnum style red and blue (pepsi) bezel. In order to get the Pepsi bezel, you'd have to buy the watch from Ebay or elsewhere. Being that the replicas from the above site look so exactly like the real thing, I would never spent $3000 on an Ebay Rolex that might not be genuine, even if I had the money. Why not just buy the replica for $144? At least you know what you're paying for

Can't that replica seller get in big trouble for a copyright infringement? The other one has "Alpha" on the face so is not using the Rolex name, but the one with Rolex on the face? I would think Rolex would shut him down.

So, Mike, you're getting the replica one? I wish I could figure out a way to put it on a 5 3/4" wrist -- even if taking out some of the links would make it fit, somehow the proportion would look a little "off," I think, not to mention making me list to port . . . .

Oh, well, maybe I'll just look for one of those watches that lets you put your own picture on the face of the watch -- and use a MPI picture or something. No, I should use an MGI picture!

I was considering buying one. I'm not sure about the copyright infringement issue. My Seiko cost around $250 back in the day, and I assume this watch is the same quality. I don't know if I'll buy one, but there is a sale going on now. The watch is normally $180, now it's $144.

Hey James, I just got my watch from alpha watches and it's a really a decent watch. I've already had a few co-workers ask about it. One of them is thinking of getting one. The watch is a lot better than I thought. Aloha

If anyone is interested, Wal Mart has all cotton shirts similar to Magnum's tan and olive safari shirts, and even the blue denim looking ine he wore in later episodes. They're around $12.00 each. I bought one of each.

Hey everyone,
Take a look at ebay. Right now there is a magnum pi replica/kit red ferrari that it's bidding is at $7,600. There is only about 21 hrs. left in the auction. Anyone up for it? lol Just kidding. I wish I could afford it. Just to let everyone know. -Aloha-

Hey, I just found something else interesting on ebay. USC's 1967 yearbood that has Tom Selleck in it. The buyout for the yearbook is $300. Still a little too rich for my blood. It said that it also has John Ritter and OJ Simpson that graduated the same year. -Aloha-

My watch from replica.si came today. It's absolutely beautiful. It is an exact replica of the GMT Master II, and it looks and feels like a real rolex.
I've been looking for this since I was in high school.
Anyone want to buy a really nice Seiko diver?

Just kidding. I've had the Seiko since High School, and I purposely bought it because it looked like the GMT from MPI.
