I bought the most expensive version of the Milgauss GV, I got two grades down.

Which means they basically screwed me out of $100+. I paid for and was expecting to receive a 40mm replica Rolex Milgauss GV, what I received was a 38/39mm replica Rolex Milgauss with the supposed green sapphire crystal peeling from the inside. It looks ok now but I can only imagine what it will look like a year from now. The finish of the stainless is nice, the fit of the band to the watch is poor. This was a $285 purchase which could have been done on Canal Street in NYC for $100 less, and I would have rejected this one for the peeling interior green coating. Very disappointing and quite too small to be a real Milgauss GV as the website claims.

It is an automatic and does keep time, but for $285 (plus $20 for air which turned out to be two weeks) it was not worth it. All the details are there, but it occurs to me that ordering direct from any Chinese replica watch site is not worth the time, money or trouble. Having ordered and received several now it seems that your order does not necessarily result in your delivery. If you spend more for a better version you often end up with the cheaper and what are you going to do? Sending it back is virtually impossible, the watches don't come with receipts. There is no consumer reports for this type of purchase.

It's a crap shoot and you'll usually be on the bad end of that equation!

So, no. Don't buy from Idolreplicas unless you want disappointment.

*Think Twice before buying from watchesview.com*
While I would not regard watchesview.com as a "scam", at best I would call it disingenuous and lacking any sort of credibility. I'm pretty sure watchesview is also the same company as featured on several other sites selling the same product under other domain names (due to the same model #'s and product photos).

1.) They sent the wrong watch. I ordered a replica Omega day/date, they sent an Omega chrono, a less complicated version (I'll get to that in a minute).
2.) I paid for express air, and although it did eventually arrive via air it took them so long to post it might have well been on a boat and slow train (over a month).
3.)I put the watch on and it immediately fogged up inside the crystal, not even a cheap casio would do that and this was $100. Inside the crystal are now dirt marks where the condensation collected, only way to fix it is an expensive service worth more than the watch.
4.)Yes, the watch is automatic and the time keeping seems to work for now but the chronometer does not, in fact none of the three sub-dials work. Thankfully I did not get the day/date I ordered or there would be two other non-working features.
5.)As the crystal fogged, the black infill on the back of the case ("Moon Watch") rubbed off on my wrist leaving a black film. It is now gone.

Buying a replica watch is always a crap-shoot but I would recommend not bothering with this company in any of its various guises. The wait is interminable and the product is a joke. They claim to use Swiss ETA movements, not true. They claim to use sapphire crystals, not true. I spent $100 on something that took a month to arrive and about an hour to sour into a fogged-up snafu.

Buy a $100 Citizen instead, you'll be much happier.
