It actually is almost an exact replica of the original minus the case and movement. Some people want vintage watches but don't want to gamble with the condition and or servicing. The vintage water resistance is almost non existent and these are better movements. Whether you're looking for a vintage seiko, Heuer, Citizen, Omega, Nivada Grechen etc, you're almost better off getting a new one vs the a vintage especially if you want the dependability/water resistance. You're paying about the same and maybe less for a new one after servicing especially.
I have the Spider, Forstner bracelet, strapsco BOR bracelet. Well you can buy the watch for 750 and buy a forstner bracelet for 130 directly from them and save $70. A milled clasp on a vintage beads of rice does not sit well with me. The quality of the Forstner is 100x better than a strapsco beads of rice. I don't have a problem with clasp, I have a problem with Nivada selling a +200$ up charge for a bracelet that cost $130 directly from the manufacturer, Forstner.
