I buy fakes because like many cannot afford the real deal, i know people with real watches and have compared mine with theirs and they are gutted as mine looks and feels as good, reps have come a long way since the cheap chiniseh battery reps of 10 years ago and more modern reps say 7 year old are terrible compared to newer modern ones i like watches always have always will, so i buy reps because i love watches and simply cannot afford gens and even if i could i doubt i would waste so much money on one watch, i mean i can buy 4 or 5 great reps for a grand, what am i going to get for that? not a rolex or omega? maybe a oris or tag which are good watches but i like the feel of a rep rolex on my wrist and no one knows real or not! most could not tell anyway I mean its getting hard for everyone to tell which only means the quality is getting better i think in a few years time not even jewellers could tell the differance.
