I think K's watches are grossly overpriced..I mean, mine is exactly what his MkII offering is, plus the removal of the crown guards and custom engraved pushers. It has the same case finish, engraving on the case back, albeit not xx/100, but rather to date the only one of it's kind..
So I would not consider mine a poor man's, but rather a smart man's. I spent over $10k less..and I even have the correct bezel for the dial....www.projectXdesigns.com is well worth looking into..
Cheers,
