Lotta discussion about this one from many quarters. They come from Ken Trading in Japan. From what I understand, they were a bit too close to the originals and OP shut him down. I can't find their website any more (http://www.rockxwatch something or other). Articles to read include:

I have only seen one up close - it was a Plasmir Milgraph 2 register model on offer for about 1100 USD 2 months ago. Beautifully presented, but only 40mm w/o crown and quite a big buck here in Oz. The Plasmir model (2 and 3 registers denote different years of manufacture, the 3 register is the younger version) has what appears to be excellent lume - the others (often with "Marina Militaire" as the only logo on the dial - not so sure about. Heavy, well-crafted and rare enough to probably be collectible BECAUSE they cant sell any more, IMHO makes it worth more than your average homage. Hope you don't mind me sticking my nose in with a humble opinion!
Good luck with the search! IanM
