RonJeramy the picture you posted of the PlanetOcean is in my opinion a FAKE.
The picture below is my real Planet Ocean, there are lots of differances on the rear, and even more on the face of the watch you posted.
The most obvious ommition is the 9 digit serial number stamped on the strap jaws of the watch, yours and the photo will not have them.
The fact that you are happy with your watch and you dont hide the fact that its fake is commendable, not met many people like you though.

I'll get the camera out tomorrow along with a tin/jar of something to show you

Yoza,
I took the fake Rolex Daytona that I bought for peanuts to the watchmaker to regulate it. He did a good job and it is pretty accurate, it is a self winder as you will know of course.
If I keep it on all the time it remains accurate, but if I take it off at night, even though it does not run down, it loses about 5 seconds. Is that normal with an automatic watch?

I don't know much about watches, but the blue one in that link looks quite nice, whatever it is supposed to be

Chopper be careful those photos IMHO are of a genuine Panerai, and not what you will get in the post.
If you want a Replica go here $89 Replica Watches, Fake Rolex Watch, Rolex Replicas and buy highend swiss only.
Les a genuine Rolex movement will not be affected by a 12 hour dormant period.
The main spring when fully charged will keep the escapement running at a constant rate easily for 12 hours. Then when put on again it will re-charge to full and so it goes on.
My autos run from between 36 to 48 hrs.
Panerai do an 8 day escapement which is rare.

Thanks Yoza. It is a fake of course so I imagine that the mainspring loses a bit of poke overnight and loses that 5 seconds or so. It keeps running of course.
The Dogs etc.
It is very well made as far as the case and strap etc. is concerned. It has a Japanese movement. (Rolex Daytona) Looks as new.
It cost me £30 at a local market, but that would be a bit far for you to come I suppose, if there was another one anyway!

Those PAM pics on the Pro-Polo site are what you will receive - they aren't genuine watch pics. The dial text is too White and the shock protection is all wrong on the movement. Also the strap is crap quality and the lume is badly inconsistent. The site just uses a v v good lightbox to take v v good pics....
If you look at this PAM - http://www.prowatch-polo.com/showpic.asp?ArticleID=278
You'll see that it's more obviously a replica. Bad L SWISS MADE L position and the 0035 serial that all the 111 reps have, plus close ups of the balance so you can see the incorrect shock protection clearer...
Pro-Polo QCs each watch they sell - idolrepicas and watcheden (same site) are drop shippers direct from the factory....you may get a good one / you may not. A lot of the watches from idolreplicas / watcheden are now not what are in the pics - the factories have updated or changed the models but the idolreplicas site have not updated their pics. Idolreplicas is an honest site but at the bottom end of honest sites.

No it's not.
Every new Rolex is COSC tested to within their limits.
Admitedly, a 20 year old one in dire need of a service will not be accurate, but once serviced will be as accurate as the day it was originally made and tested.
How accurate do you want a mechanical watch to be?

I got a decent fake Breitling in Italy a few years back, and flogged on it ebay and got far more for it than expected! Bought a few more last year with the plan of doing the same and making a tidy profit, but ebay have since clamped down on anything fake, so I've still got them! If Brietling's are your thing let me know 
I've heard of people getting fake working Nintendo Wii's and ipod's and stuff from places like China and Japan!!

I believe only a certain amount of Rolex watches from each build go to be COSC tested, not every piece produced is tested to the COSC standard.
My preffered AD told me that 1 in 5 Rolex watches are returned to their point of sale because they need re-calibration, running too fast or too slow.
I should have asked about other brands but I didnt.

I'm pretty sure they all have to go to be tested - each movement needs to be tested otherwise they aren't certified and cant' display that?
Remember when Omega couldn't make enough COSC tested Bond Seamasters to match demand so they released Two models - One that was tested and One exactly the same that was sent directly for sale and not via COSC so was untested. The dial read different, i.e without the chronometer text on it but it was the same watch.

Over a million official chronometer certificates are delivered each year.
Representing ONLY 3% of the Swiss watch production, a proportion that underscores the exceptional nature of a chronometer.
To earn chronometer certification, a movement must not only be made from the highest quality components, but also be the object of special care on part of the finest watchmakers and timers during assembly.
COSC Standards
MECHANICAL QUARTZ
* Average daily rate: -4/+6 [11] * Average daily rate at 23 °C: ± 0.07
* Mean variation in rates: 2 [12] * Rate at 8 °C: ± 0.2
* Greatest variation in rates: 5 [13] * Rate at 38 °C: ± 0.2
* Difference between rates in H & V positions: -6/+8 [14] * Rate stability: 0.05
* Largest variation in rates: 10 [15] * Dynamic rate: ± 0.05
* Thermal variation: ± 0.6 [16] * Temporary effect of mechanical shocks: ± 0.05
* Rate resumption: ± 5 [17] * Rate resumption: ± 0.05
* n/a * Residual effect of mechanical shocks: ± 0.05;
200 shocks equivalent to 100 G (981 m/s²)

Here's a couple of pics(sorry for the poor quality iPhone camera) with a tin of beans and sausages for authenticity and I've put a pic of my Tag F1 criteria 1997.
