I've been thinking of plunking down some money for a replica State Alchemist pocketwatch worn in the anime. But I don't want to drop $40 on a replica unless it's a good quality. Seeing as this place is filled with fellow otaku such as I, I was wondering if anyone already has bought one.

So far I've narrowed it down to
http://www.wackywillysweb.com/full_metal_alchemist/fullmetal_alchemist_pocket_watch_with_chain.php?scs=144.167.18.82-2005_10_10_08_52_31-519223958

and

http://[This URL is a known Bootlegging website]/jstore/series/alchemist/watch.html

If theirs any other reccomendations I'd glady accept 'em. Or if you've bought from here could you tell me how the product's end quality was?

-edit-

Whoops! Didn't see the Retail forum and the same to pic in it. Sorry.

Well I guess what I can do to set this topic apart would be to focus on who's actually bought one from various places and what they've thought of it.

If I had to guess, I'd say that first one is an unlicensed replica. I don't recall Funimation ever having made any FMA watches, so it looks pretty suspcious.

Looks like crap to me. The official replicas cost upwards $200 when they came out. I don't remember which sites were selling it though.

I concur with the other guys.Looks very suspicious. Not just because of the cost, it also seems to have the saem striking features of the pockets watches I've bought at walmart(Size,The top part of the watch has exact matching looks,and the spring all look too similar). Only difference, besides the full metal alchemist design on it, is the chain the chain I've never seen on walmart watches but the rest...I wouldn't trust them.
