I mean its nice to see that modern processes are catching up to the hand built quality of some of these things. In my mind though it really makes it hard to justify the price of the premium product. I’m frugal like that though. These clones are not exactly cheap, just cheap compared to the authentic original.
At this point you have to wonder, what value is the real Rolex brand adding?
If the inner mechanisms and parts are just as reliable, and the outside looks identical to the point that the only difference is microscopic changes in the way the finish reflects light… I think the cloners have won and are giving me a better value for my money.
You used to buy a rolex bc they were extremely well made and reliable. It was a plus that they looked great. Now anyone can achieve both sides of that equation.
Basically, let me put it this way: I own a real Supreme hoodie and a fake one in a colorway I couldn’t afford… **no one can tell the real from the fake when I’m wearing it.** Needless to say, I only buy fake Supreme now when I miss the drop.
Where can I get one of these replicas?

My uncle gave me a Rolex for my college graduation present before he passed. It’s one of my prized possessions so I get nervous wearing it because of how much it cost. So I bought an exact replica of it and I wear it when I go out so I’m not alway worrying about losing it or getting it stolen. So far no one has noticed it’s a fake.
Cool, I’ll buy a fake one.
So why should people pay for ‘real’ Rolexes again?
Rolexes are overrated anyway. They are for people who want to seem like ballers but aren’t.
Since it has a serial number, why can’t Rolex just have a website where you put in the number, and it tells you whether it is legit, what model it is, when it was made and ideally whether it was sold and where? Like the VIN on a car.
I don’t really care for Rolexes or fancy watches. I have a cheap Casio I like. It has a light so I can tell what time it is in the dark and tells me the day of the week.
I mean Rolex doesn’t even sell you one if you wanted to with cash in hand. This make me more interested to look at fakes again. Had one many year ago and the difference was pretty obvious. Looks like they came a long way.
In other words, you are overpaying for your Rolex.
If you buy a real Rolex, get one of these to wear around. It’s indistinguishable from the real one and you don’t need to worry if I get damaged or stolen.
If it’s so hard to tell, why are the real ones so expensive?
so paying extra for the real thing is meaningless then, the price jump is based on literally nothing real
If fake rolexes are almost such good quality that only a professional can tell them apart why not just value them as such
At some point the fakes may become better than the original. At that point there is zero justification for the price premium other than name recognition.
As a replicator, I thank this man for his service in keeping me informed, I’m going back to the business factory to correct the imperfections.
Where can I get one?
For personal use on a daily basis.
This reminds me of great art fakes. So good that paintings can fool even the most skilled art collector. Makes you question what value really comes from .
Buddy I worked with was from Vietnam. Would go back once or twice a year to visit family. He said that you can get pretty much ANY luxury watch in Ho Chi Minh city(Breitling, Panerai, Rolex, etc). He told me, if I wanted one to give him $50 bucks. This dude was my manager so I knew he wasn’t going to screw me.
He came back with a Rolex Cosmograph Daytona. It looked, felt and worked so well.
Best $50 bucks I ever spent. Wear it to job interviews with pride. Any expert could probably pick mine out easily from real ones. But this one is convincing enough for my simple needs.
To paraphrase a quote from the film Dope.
The only difference between a real one and a fake one is the person wearing it.
If it takes a pro to tell the difference then it’s good enough
So if they’re that good, what’s the difference? Sounds like you’re getting an amazing watch without the high prices and nobody can tell the difference
Yet again showing how idiotic you are if you’re really spending that much money on a real Rolex. All you’re paying for is being able to show off that you spent a lot of money
IF they are that exact, that precise, how can Rolex, outside of the image of owning a real one, justify charging so much more?
Replicas can be quite good depending on how much a company marks up their products. If a Rolex only really costs Rolex like $1k or less to actually manufacture but then sells for thousands more, a replica producer can just spend $2k making the actual watch which could even have some higher quality to it, and then sell it for the same price point as a real one for profit, just a bit less than Rolex would get.
Same thing with replica sneakers but even more of a gap. A Yeezy costs like $10 to produce, sells for $220 retail, then resells for $400+ if there is high demand. So a replica maker can actually buy higher quality materials, take more time to make the shoe, and still sell it at a nice profit. And in some cases you get a shoe that’s better manufactured than an Adidas shop can manage.
Proof that luxury goods are at large a scam.
Once it’s the exact same – what is the difference?
Hopefully this puts Rolex out of business. Everyone wins
Honestly this makes me want to buy a replica Rolex, and I haven’t worn a watch in decades!
