I buy replica watches. I have model Ferraris and boats too. Why? Certainly not because I'm pretentious. To be honest, 99% of people wouldn't know a Bell & Ross from a Panerai anyway, so who am I impressing? If I had the money, I'd buy the real thing. For now, I'll settle for an accurate fake that I can wear on my wrist. To be quite honest, this watch is not worth what they're asking. The movement is about $50 from a wholesaler. It's probably more pretentious/wasteful to have a real one.
@vmaxkevin Pretentious? To quote Inigo Montoya, "I Do Not Think That Word Means What You Think It Means." Purchasing fakes is pretentious. Making a purchase in order to impress others could be considered pretentious as well. If you buy the real thing simply because you appreciate it and can easily afford it, that's not being pretentious. To bang on the real thing and then brag about the purchase of fakes comes across as self-serving and disingenuous at best.
@UberGator I'm completely unschooled in the world of watches. I don't buy watches to impress anyone - however I think that if one were to buy a fake because they like the watch but don't have the money to spare, is that pretentious? Not in my opinion. I have a genuine and my friend has a "replica" I can't tell the difference. Feel stupid being 3,800 down on him.
does not look like it has AR coating on the saphire... I work in optical and deal with numerous kinds of AR also I own a breitling watch and you can clearly notice the AR coat
i got a fake one of these in chinatown in NYC for 20 dollars. works perfectly. only difference is the functionality of the knob. and of course the movement isn't smooth. fakes are amazingly accurate these days.
I still dont love the fact that these watches are square, but I do like this model better than the one that has black numbers on a black face, worst watch design ever.
I would buy a replica only for the fact that I LOVE the design and its not available in more affordable brands..... Would buy the original if i had the money :(
sorry, but I have to disagree. Although this watch would look best in more casual/business casual wear, I do think it looks sharp with a black suit. What's nice is that it's not your typical "round" watch.
I do admit that the omega is a fantastic watch. However it's hard for me to compare it to this watch because they are so different.
that screw is there for the crown release, you if unscrew it there will be a button that if you press it will release the crown, and those case front screws are there for holding on the front of the case
@mjkonkol well, because im not even old enough to get a job yet, i have to buy replicas, im going to be getting one with a black case and blue markers
@mjkonkol not everyone buys a replica just too appear that they blew money on a watch. The fact that you say that makes me think that you do that......

$4000 to tell time, buy a casio waveptor for $30, its atomic and solar. More accurate than this junk metal here.
I own some expensive watches, but they are multipurpose.

Just saw the pics on your site. The photo on your wrist is great. The Bell & Ross looks huge.

waste of money, not even elegant enough for a suit. For the same money get an omega for elegance and invicta corduba malaga for a casual wear no?

@theownzer are you sure those front screws are not for show? They didn't look functional.

my heart stopped for a second when it slipped off your wrist
looks very similar to the lum_tec bull45
anyway, im thinking of getting a replica of one of these(not about to blow 4 grand on a watch anytime soon) what colour combo would you sudgest?
theownzer 2 years ago
@theownzer I never suggest getting a replica...that's being pretentious. My personal favorite color combo is black on black for this watch..
