Replica watches are known for the quality/price aspect. Nowadays replica watches are really high quality, can you find a +- 350 dollar watch with an ETA 2836-2 movement? And with 316F hardened stainless steel?
Don't think so! And guess what, the current best replica of the Rolex Submariner does use these parts, along with sapphire glass and more. You just have to admit replica watches these days can be very nice, and accept that for some people these are collectable items and part of a hobby.

a rolex is a status symbol to show that you have succeeded in the road to success and the submariner is the ultimate showcase award to reflect that achievement. i doubt if others can spot a fake to a real one on someone's wrist even if he handed to him to inspect unless this person qualifies to identify fake from the genuine article.

Or Gibson LP Studio vs LP Custom. If they have the same guts, why pay more for asthestics/popularity?

@MrArd92 Thanks, the quality part is all I need to be sold on. You are right about the brand though, there are many watches out there that haven't been around as long as Tag or Tissot or Rolex but their quality are just as good(RW or Ernst Benz). I buy a watch for life as well, so resale isn't important to me as well. I like the styling of RW so I may go pick one up in the next little while. I am a stronger believer in sometimes paying for a name/extras isn't worth the price hike. I.E Tag vs RW

@Zee06 The quality is up there with tag heuer and use many of the same movements. Their resale is lower but when i buy a watch i buy it for life so resale value is worthless to me. Its not an old company so thats why they tend to be a little cheaper. One thing i have noticed is that if its a brand that isnt old or expensive (rolex +) many people look at it as cheap or not a real watch brand. Also brands that feature mostly or exclusively in house movements are considered real watch makers.

@MrArd92 Raymond Weil. Cool I have been considering purchasing one of their autos. But I am not sure what to think. I have read mixed reviews. What are your thoughts?

@Zee06 Tag heuer is also a paying a large amount for brand name but i have a particular style i like and tag heuer seems to hit that, and few ramond weils and a few victoronicx watches fit my tastes. Most cheap fake rolex's (at least the ones i have purchased) dont last very long due to the delicate parts and the cheap parts that are used. You can usually tell if someone is wearing a real rolex not just by the watch but also who the person is (a janitor probably wont have a real one).

@Zee06 With any expensive watch you are paying for the brand, very little of it goes into the watch for parts and labor. Rolex can charge the prices they do because they have built up a reputation. There are other brands that have just as good of watches (quality and hand made) that are much cheaper but dont have the brand name. I have 2 tag heuers (aquaracer and carrera) that put together retail price couldnt put me into an entry level rolex.

I buy fake Rolexes from places that I travel too. I never wear them. But it's just nice to come back from say the Bahamas or Italy and say. "Hey I bought a Rolex in(insert country here) from a guy off the train)" Some people collect buy post cards or t shirts I buy fake Rolxes. At least it's something that I can use if say, my real Tissot or Bulova break, or I want to dress up as James Bond for the night in my tux...Submariner and all :)

Actually many people do pay attention to your wrists. I work in an business where people do pay attention to the watch that you wear. To be honest Rolex's aren't worth the price. You are mainly paying for the brand. FYI, a USED Submariner runs around 6 to 10 grand! I have bought 3 very good quality Swiss made automatics for a third the cost and the craftsmans ship is just as good as a Rolex. The fit and finish might be a little better on a Rolex but not really enough to notice.
@jaydanmoon and your just a snotty rich person who make fun of people who can't afford the real thing or you're too stupid to figure out how much real rolex/omega cost. look it up sometimes, if you can.

A genuine Timex is far better than a fake Rolex - why? Because the Timex is a genuine thing, and probably runs better than the fake. Only fake people wear fakes - and calling them 'replicas' changes nothing, any more than calling racism 'pro-White' changes the racist character. Anyway, this vid has been handled the RebelKnightCSA Way For Dealing With Fake Watches - disliked, flagged for scams / fraud, and publically dissed.
