I think that people in general are trying to avoid Rolex because everybody froma child to a 40 years old man will tell you its fake....if you have on your hand a Rolex they will first think that its a rep and thats a fact!But you are 100% correct that the watch maker has turned his back on a 1:1 Rolex rep....maybe the clue is that everyone of the noobs will go for a sub or gmt or daytona,so money are coming with no need of a good rolex rep(when i was a noob i also go for a rolex,but an expl 2 witch for me was and is a very accurate rolex rep).We have to see that in Josh site(from which i ordered all my reps) there are more than 600 rolex come on watch makers make a good and accurate Rolex rep!!!.....and this crazy story for mbw rolex its no solution to more than 99% of rolex rep byers....so we all have to say the watch maker to go for only 4-5 1:1 Rolex rep : First ofall an ACCURATE Sub(all subs are screaming that they are fake),No2:GMT master,No3:seadweller,exp2,datejust ,daytona...........
