    I don't mind buying homage watches even if they are made in China, but buying replicas and fake watches is another thing. I've heard that some people who own real Rolex watches have a replica which they use some times when there's a risk of someone robbing you, losing the watch or damaging it which kinds of makes sense. But seeing the average Joe that counts the days before his next paycheck because hes almost out of money with a ''Rolex'', is kinda obvious that it's a fake one. Only rich people can blend in with a fake Rolex watches but they can only fool those who know nothing about watches. There's no shame in owning an inexpensive watch even if has a quartz movement inside.

    Here’s the deal, and this is for those who really like fakes. Make sure when you buy a fake watch, have a real bmw or mercedes benz to go with it so people don’t ask! Buying a Patek...wearing it and riding a compact honda ain’t gonna wing it! It’s about perception. Now for those who prefer the real thang, save up and make sure you have insurance and can afford the parts and services every 5 years. It’s just like getting married! Difference is...in a divorce you don’t pay alimony because the real watch appreciates...just don’t get drunk and lose it!

      May I be excused from your logic? I drive a Mercedes, but I don't wear a fake... I have not invested in a high end watch in over twenty years, but I don't mind wearing what I got back in the day... Now I'm fascinated by the new Citizen eco drive watches and they are really affordable. To these fake ones... If you buy a Picasso replica because you like it, or have a Mona Lisa hanging on your wall, which everybody knows can't be real because of the obvious (it's hanging at the Louvre), this does not mean you shouldn't have them... Same with replica watches; nobody would assume it's real, but you wear it because you like it AS A REPLICA. Do you find it moral for Swiss watchmakers to use twenty dollar movements (calibers) and sell you the watch for one grand, because I don't?

    I don't believe in buying fake anything. The brand name on the merchandise should tell what it really is. A watch is not really a Rolex just because the Chinese put the brand name Rolex on it. If somebody buys a Chinese made fake Rolex watch they are not getting a Rolex but they are just getting a Chinese made fake Rolex watch. And if they show that watch to their friends and claim it's a Rolex they are just continuing the lie. Now the Chinese do or can make some very nice watches; but they should just put their own brand names on them. I have some nice Chinese watches that have Chinese brand names on them and I'm proud of those watches they don't pretend to be something that they aren't and they stand on their own merits.

    whenever you are buying a fake watch go for watches that have design(look) which is not available in any of the unbranded or branded affordable watches. Do not buy anything too fancy as it will surely give it away. Do not buy very plain looking either because whats the point in buying a fake watch just for the name tag without the looks. Go for the watch that is having multiple functional dials. Go for watches with unique designs. I would never go for rolex because it would easily give it away as a fake.

Then came the real push for Mechanical Timepieces: Electronics. A US $5 wrist watch keeps accurate time than the US $30,000 Rolex. So, Rolex, as an Accurate Time Keeper, lost to Electronics. In 2002, I bought 2 Rolex Watches in Pakistan for piddly sums of US $35 each. They are perfect. I swam, played Tennis and slept wearing them. Yes, they are Automatic: Day Date. I really do not see the difference. I get them serviced, also for piddly sums of US $10, yes, in Pakistan / India / Nigeria.

      True, but the copies can be quite good. I’ve read accounts of people having one work for ten or more years. Additionally, the lower end Asia 2813 movements keep excellent time and cost only about $15 for a replacement movement. So really a copy can usually last just as long as a gen seiko, and on the same or a lower budget, as well.

    There are Omegas sold by 3 sellers on EBay (I am sure there are more sellers and on other lesser known auction websites). They are always listed as 1970's Seamaster or Constellation Omegas. Once one is sold, a week passes, and another one shows up that is almost identical. (Does Korea have that many vintage Omegas of the same types?) They claim to be used from the 70's yet there are no blemishes on the cases - PRISTINE. They claim the crystals have been replaced and internals cleaned (reasonable... maybe). The internals are CLONES to the originals. I mean they are so good it they would fool a jeweler. The Auctions start around $30 (WARNING FLAG!) and usually the final bidder pays $350, $500, $700, $900, or even sometimes $1000 for the watch. Would you start an auction at $30 for what you know is at least a $350 watch?
    Here is my theory! I think these are being made in North Korea to prop up the regime. This is a Counterfeit that is generating as much money as Counterfeiting money and easier to pass off to the public and around Governments. So, not only are you getting ripped off if you buy one of these FAKE OMEGAS you are supporting Kim Jong-un and Modern Day Concentration Camps.

    The replica watches that cost between 400 and 600 US, are so good, not even AD's can tell the difference. They have real ETA movements (you'd be surprised how many luxury watch brands use modified or decorated ETA movements - Panerai, Tag heuer), and built out of the same material as an OG, within scope of course... Titanium, ceramic, 316 steel. So how do 95% of people afford a clone of an original at cost price (90% of a luxury watch's price is brand hype).. Buy a superclone. They call them 1:1 I believe.

      This is an absolutely ridiculous view. Fakes and originals do not look the same!
      Replica watches are utterly retarded and I'll explain why. Cheap replicas are dog shit quality with crappy $9 Chinese movements that have beat errors in excess of 5 milliseconds, wildly differing amplitudes and usually gain or lose at least 80-100 seconds a day. They're worthless watches that can't even tell the time properly.
      For not much more money than a crappy Rolex Submariner fake, you could get a Submariner homage Invicta Pro Diver with an extremely accurate 21,600 bph Seiko movement that losses or gains only 2 seconds a day. The watch is far better quality than a fake costing a similar amount.
      Why buy a fake when you can buy something actually decent and real?! A close friend has a fake Breitling and although I'd never tell him, it's the most embarrassing piece of shit I've ever seen in my life. The printing on the dial is garbage and smudged, the hour makers are all different sizes, the bracelet is the flimsiest piece of crap imaginable and it keeps horrible time - it was 4 seconds out after just 1 hour.
      The only guarantee of even half decent quality and time keeping is when replicas use ETA valjoux movements or something similar. Then you're spending several hundred dollars on a replica watch that has no warranty when you could get a really nice Hamilton or Tissot for the same amount of money.
