How many of you guys are actually wearing reps? Some director was telling me how he had a huge collection of Rolexes - I asked to see the submariner he had on and it was a fake.

One of the other Directors on my team flashed a Daytona a couple months ago in a color scheme that doesn’t exist. He was showing it to one of the analysts.

I think buying and wearing fakes is a reflection of a person’s values and integrity. Projecting an image that’s not real is just not being true to yourself.

You are not wrong, but I think there is a sense of accomplishment when one buys that first real luxury watch, whether it’s for a milestone or just celebrating a special event. Fakes will never give you that feeling.

Ew.

I wear watches based on their look and finish, their time keeping abilities and history/meaning behind the watch - none of which a replica provides. If I’m worried about getting robbed, then I’m wearing a cheaper Zodiac, CW or Rado as a replica is still likely to put me in dangerous situations.

There’s not much benefit to wearing a fake watch other than to stunt for other’s approval.

How sure are you it was a fake? Could’ve been older vintage model.

Nah it was a rep 100%. The telltale sign is the date. They can never get the magnifying right

Replicas are tremendously more prevalent than people here know or realize. If you browse through mom and pop retailers or eBay “certified genuine” you will see a stunning amount. The super clones are far more convincing than anyone here realizes or would care to admit. The Cartier clones especially are utterly indistinguishable, even by people who know what to look for. I can argue all day why not to buy one but it’s naive to pretend they’re obvious or even poor quality

Who cares? Even this discussion is trash. Go away.

It’s this terrible feeling of like anguish/unease in my gut, but I don’t have anything I’m worried about- it’s like my body wants to find something to worry about.

To show my appreciation to the watch gods, I am letting my current diver, the legendary SKX009 go for the same price as my raffle ticket ($38, shipping included). If anyone is looking for this hugely popular piece (ideally a new collector), hit me up! Currently sized to a 6.75” wrist but comes with all links. All hail the watch gods!

Shot in the dark since it’s an expensive, niche, and quartz watch… but does anyone have a Breitling Emergency? I wouldn’t say I *need* the emergency beacon aspects of it since a pay for a satellite communicator, but as an outdoorsy guy I’m intrigued. $15K+ seems like a lot for a quartz watch even with the plb functionality but bonuses don’t spend themselves

Super beautiful watch, just thinking it’s a bit flashy for me.
