I honestly believe that it's better than the original - the sunburst on the dial is glorious (and the shade of green is just perfect for me - slight olive tint to it), the lume on the bezel a. exists :) b. is awesome, glide lock rip-off attempt is quite good (admittedly the original is MUCH smoother). I held the original subby in my hand and concluded that the difference in fit and finish is not worth the price difference (I was looking at a second-hand for £11k). What is good is the fact that if in 20 years the movement dies, I'll just replace it easily (NH35A) while with the original - I'll have to pray they don't send the watch back saying 'buy yourself a new watch, we can't be bothered to keep spare parts for our watches'. (Rolex fanboys, please don't start a flame war in the comments :))
