- *I am not condoning the purchase of a "replica" Rolex. I am not a lawyer.
For years now Rolex has been a status symbol on par with Gucci, Prada, and Lamborghini. They want to be known as a premium brand. So they've made it damn near impossible for an average person to simply buy a Rolex watch through a dealer. This kind of business practice is leading the replica industry to capitalize on disgruntled customers who don't want to be put on waiting lists or grease the palms of dealers for the high honor, nay the privilege of paying tens of thousands of dollars for a luxury watch.

My story with trying to buy a Rolex:
My father is a disabled veteran. After his honorable discharge from the military, my father purchased a Rolex Daytona. Years later he lost his Daytona while on an elk hunt. For years and years, we've searched the mountains for the fabled Daytona and heard the legends about how much it would be worth now. My father is now in his seventies and his health is declining faster than we could have imagined. After making some decent money in marketing I fantasized about purchasing a new Daytona for my father to replace the one he'd lost so many years ago.
When I visited the Rolex dealer they essentially laughed in my face about buying a Rolex. Apparently, there is a process where you are added to a waitlist or you can purchase some Tag Huer or Grand Seikos to build a relationship and get notified first when one becomes available.
I was frankly disgusted. Unless you have the money to grease the dealer's palms or a type of celebrity status simply buying a Rolex with your hard-earned money is not an option anymore.
Now I get it. Replicas aren't worth anything as an investment and authentic Rolex watches represent status much like a luxury car. But I'm more than a little okay with Rolex getting a clap back from the average Joes like me that run into a brick wall when purchasing.
Please ignore Swissarex comments on this video. I got flooded by a spam bot.
Style meets substance here.
Every watch tells a story.
Attention to detail matters.
Craftsmanship that inspires.
A watch aficionado's dream.
There are watches with the same serial numbers as the originals, and only one company, called Ziarex, sells them.
Price please??
impressive
I tried many, but those guys are no joke, they sell something that you cannot buy anywhere else.
Rolex doesn't sell watches your ADs are just museums
I was delusional before, thinking only China could make replicas, but now I know even Italy and Switzerland make them too, and ZiaRex is their representative.
Wearing a fake Rolex doesn't hurt Rolex one bit. In fact, it helps make their brand seem even more desirable. If you want to hurt Rolex, just start wearing a Casio. A $30 watch that keeps better time than a $30,000 Rolex does.
Yes I have a casio gulfmaster their higher end model around 500 bucks. It uses satellite and rests time at 2am to it. The most accurate watch you can get. The us cost guard grads get them fro graduation. Incrediable watch.
I wear a Casio digital in stainless steel. People actually love it.
Or if you’re looking to burn money buy a different luxury brand other than Rolex like Omega, Blancpain, or JLC
I agree, I think it actually helps Rolex. I owned 3 or 4 fake Rolex’s from being a kid / teen to young adult, now I have owned 2 real ones. Still have a couple of the fakes that collect dust but the obsession finally worked my way up to the real deal
You want a Swiss watch, ETA makes quartz movements that keep within ten seconds a year. A VERY few Swiss makers use them in a few watches. Nobody wants them! They want inaccurate mechanical watches!
If you're rich wear a fake and people will think it's real. If you're middle class or lower it could be real and people will still think it's fake
Bahahaha this is so well said, I am middle class I make good money but I would feel terrible spending my savings on a rolex meanwhile I love me some luxury items for the fraction of the price, I meanly just want the look and live in my self made delusion that I can afford a rolex lol, I bought a master rep cartier bracelet from china it was not cheap I paid $700 it was real gold and literally was identical to the real one, my baby sister is more fortunate than I am she had a husband who spends $$ on her we compared them she was mad that my bracelet was only $700🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Truth is, most people don't care about watches and have no idea about the price of the one you are wearing.
What a great comment I never thought of this.
Exactly
Any middle class can afford a Rolex, especially nowadays middle class means 100k+ salary thanks to inflation.
Submariner MSRP, £9100, unobtainable.
Realistic price to a normal punter, £13000.
Top end replica no one is calling out, £450.
Looks like a no brainier to me.
This sounds like my kind of party, although I found out that the quality has gotten up to AAAAAAAA that may even cost up to $1500 $2000 which is insane but it’s better than paying $20.000. I only want a good watch that none dares to call out I post on IG and people have the audacity to zoom into a photo in order to start calling out your fake item, I was called out on a Fake LV bag that was years ago before I doscovered the master reps options and it was just terrible I had to delete that IG lol
Then honestly, don't post with the watch or bag online. Or buy Citizen, Seiko and Tudor, you don't have to spend thousands to look like a million bucks. I'll wear a fucking trash invicta that I own, and people will compliment me.
@@vandalg282 what? I have several Seiko watches, a couple of Casio's, I sold my Tudor 'cause I never wore it. I have a couple of genuine older Rolex, a five figure Sub and a GMT. But they were all bought when you could walk into an AD that didn't have a bouncer on the door and you could just buy a watch.
What are you talking about? I know dozens of people who own reps, I'd say 75% of them have £20k+ in genuine watches as well.
But my daily wear right now is a replica Starbucks Rolex. It feels no different to a real Rolex, I know 'cause I've got two.
@@vandalg282
Dude could not agree more, posting phony luxury items to impress other losers on social media is beyond me.
I personally own 3 rolexes, which is one of the things I enjoy collecting. I've worked hard to enjoy nice things, not because I need to flex on social media.
Bought them for my enjoyment, not to impress others.
i just buy from primerolexio
How can I get one?
It's a bot comment.
I would absolutely wear a Rolex replica. And would be proud of it.
For the week it worked maybe.

I don't get buying a fake when for the same money you could support another brand, instead of supporting a replica maker. Getting an homage is also a option
I bought a daitona supeclone because i can't buy the original in the store without all those stupid waiting lists and selling crap. And I do not intend to pay three prices to hucksters. Rolex itself is to blame for this whole situation, so fuck the rolex!
When replicas are 1:1 there's really no difference other than getting a Rolex for what a Rolex is actually worth.
To me it's no different than a "homage watch". The homage watch steals the design, the replica steals the design and logo. I used to have a replica Breitling that I bought on Canal St. in NY. I loved that watch.
Why? Because Rolex actually shits in the majority of its potential customers. You can’t buy one from an AD so why not buy a replica.
high quality replicas are closer to $1,000 and even rolex AD's wont be able to tell them apart without looking up serial numbers
If you’ve handled Rolexes you’ll always be able to tell. Especially when you open the case back. They just ain’t there yet. That being said they are pretty great watches for the money
@@jonathonkennedy9321the top quality replica ranging $1-2k has real rolex pieces in it… u cant tell.. i have a video from a china factory showing the difference between a top superclone and a basic superclone without original parts
@@jonathonkennedy9321 be honest, if you have to open up a watch to check it’s movement, you will fool 99% of people
@@jonathonkennedy9321And this is a good point,,, if you can sift through all of the fakes in order to find the best of the best fake then you have probably found a very nice watch. But,,,, why put Rolex on it? It isn't a Rolex so why pretend that it is?
It is not just the watch that is a fake,,,, the person wearing it is an even worse fake.
Put your mother's name on it or one of your kids names.
Whatever,,,, Stop desperately looking for false status and just be happy knowing that you have a quality watch on that is not pretending to be something that it isn't just for the sake of vanity and false flex. That is just sad.
@@jonathonkennedy9321 Whens the last time you held a $1000 rep?
Rolex have done this to themselves with their silly games, now even if you have a genuine people assume it's a fake... So why not
Agreed
But YOU know its the real deal ..who gives a fook what people think...some of them think the earth's flat ..doesn't stop me living here
@@jali898I actually feel 10x better knowing it's a fake though 😂
@@jali898so you paid 10k just for an emotion and feeling? 😂 maybe if you’re rich but if you have to save or get in debt then you fuked up. Its cool having the feeling that youre part of a special club. Only if you can afford it. Lots of people who bought rolex are living way beyond their means just for a feeling
The replicas are beautiful and very good. BUT, I could not stand wearing it knowing it is a fake. Waiting for the real thing. Know all about the background check and waitlist. Worth it!
I hear the stories about bad experiences at AD’s, but personally I’ve experienced the opposite. Buying a fake anything isn’t the way to go in my opinion, I’d rather get a Tudor or Omega than spend towards a fake.
I purchased a $79 copy as a scare for my wife (I own 2 REAL Rolexes). It backfired because the charge went through before the watch arrived. But, the GMT Master II fake is unrecognizable from my real 126710 Pepsi except for the bracelet clasp. The magnification is correct and the bezel is as perfect as my eye and ear can tell.
One very recognizable difference - the real Rolex loses about 20 seconds a day while the fake loses around 20 seconds a month.
Where did you order yours from, as I am in the market for one
20 a day :S correction +4 -4 seconds
I've heard about this rather pathetic retail policy only a few weeks ago, it's hard to believe, so they have the NERVE to look at a potential buyer straight in the eye and say we ain't selling you the Rolex you want and can pay for right now, until we 'develop a relationship with you' (WHAT?) so here, buy this 10K TAG Heuer and we go from there, don't call us, we call you'. A relationship? you want to be my girlfriend or something? you keep your watch and your ridiculous games, I'll take my $50,000 somewhere else, I'll probably get a gorgeous Omega and you won't see me ever again. Jesus...
Sad but true. I only go to Rolex only boutiques for that reason. 2 years, still no call. And don’t even asking for a Sub, GMT, Daytona. But I live in a giant metropolis with tons of rich people. Oh, well.
More reasons to buy replicas. This actually hurts Rolex despite the contrary because now everyone thinks any rolex is fake even real ones. Same happened with Louis Vuitton. So all the idiots with 10k rolex, most people probably think is a fake
@@WestCoastAce27you can buy a real rolex online but you will pay more. Just a get a replica and cope hard my dude 😂
@@naegleriafowleri2230This is true. And when the replicas are 1:1 you also get to own a Rolex for what a Rolex is actually worth.
@@naegleriafowleri2230Yeah, but you don't even know if the Rolex online is actually authentic, or not. So you could just be throwing $30,000-$60,000 away. Might as well just buy a rep at that point, save the money, and go on vacation with your rep lol
I agree with everything that you said. I actually have about 7 replicas of Rolex watches. And also have 2 genuine Rolex watches and a real omega.. i wear my replicas more than the genuine ones for a couple reasons. One is i don’t want to beat up my genuine watches with everyday wear! The other is i don’t like the way authorized dealers treat middle class people like myself who just want to buy one watch and not by thousands of dollars worth of stuff i don’t want just to get the watch i do want!!
Where did you get your replicas from. Are they 1:1 quality?
I agree. Wear a clone and let everyone know it's a clone they will appreciate it more how good it is
My friend is in the same situation - wears his fake at night due to crime.
The average hard working American Citizen will never be able to buy a 30K watch so, why not.
self respect
Many Rolexes are $9-10k at MSRP. He exaggerated that - $30k for a near new Daytona from the grey market.
@@garylangford6755😂😂 you think life is fair? Rolex created scarcity to boost their brand value. They can go fuk themselves always rejecting potential customers. Wearing a replica is a big FU to them and the dumbasses who paid 10-15k for a watch that was probably manufactured for $500-1000 tops.
@@garylangford6755I really don't see why anyone would lose respect for themselves for buying a rep. Maybe you would, but other people have way different world views on what makes them feel respect for themselves.
@@WestCoastAce27I'm looking at my Rolex grail watch and it's almost $60,000 online. And I don't even know if it's real or not. It's a huge risk to take on something that could be a fake watch to begin with anyway.
Remembers me of the time when people started to download music because they had enough of the music industry and their arrogance
Got my rep Datejust comming in the Mail.. $53 from my chinese Plug 😂
You are right. I tried to purchase at an Authorized Dealer, went back over 10 different days and nothing. So I bought a "superclone".... It is so, so similar that nobody has doubted it is a genuine Rolex, so.... Do I want to spend another $15,000 or more to wear one that looks the same? I can purchase 3 superclones and they will last like new for a long time. Why is Rolex doing this?
Ive owned four recent Rolexes over the past few years and sold them because i wasnt thrilled with them aesthetically. I opted for a Blancpain, an IWC and a Cartier instead which i personally find more appealing. So if i rocked a fake Rolex. No one would think it was a fake and i would be the only one who knew. In short, i cant justify the money for a real one so wouldnt have a problem with it.
It doesnt hurt Rolex. They basically dont give a shit about us or anyone anyway.
The way they are going with these, one day they are going to be better than the genuine ones , lol
They at least keep their time. A lot of people bring their slow watches into Rolex only to be told that the inaccuracy is part of owning a rolex smh
Just for information purposes only as a regular watch buyer expect to pay $500 for a clone and around $1500 for a superclone rolex.
The ones you are advertising are the new copies where Chinese,Turkish,Asian Street vendors have moved away from the cheap $30 copies and gone for the slightly better quality $120 types that are heavier,a bit better made and good for hand-to-eye viewing but are still subject to noticeable flaws.
Real owners wear these when they travel so they lower the risk of theft.
Why are people wasting their time and money on vanity? Just get a tudor. Will owning a Rolex change your life? No!
Rolex has brought this upon themselves by having people jump through hoops at the a Rolex AD.
A Rolex gmt master 2 would’ve cost about £2000 back in 2001-2002, 2012-14, -about £6k.
In 2024, it retails for nearly £10k.
Rolex definitely isn’t worth what it sells for.
Agreed, and most don’t even keep the time as well as cheaper Japanese movements
Thanks very much for this presentation. Great audio as well.
I lived in Beijing for 7 years and you could go into some of the pearl markets back then and there were "grades" of fakes whether you wanted LV, Rolex or something else. The high end fakes were masterful and the low end, fairly obvious if you knew the real brand. The high end Folex were almost indistinguishable as long as you werent trying to fake a Gold watch as the color of the metal was always off. The high end LV could only be shown to be fake if an LV store disassembled and looked for hidden tags and such that are secreted in the genuine product. I will never forget on my first trip to China, we were at a restaurant where the delicious dishes were USD $1.10 per plate. Yet, our waiter was wearing a Rolex? Huh? Then I jump into one of the super affordable, cheap taxi's and the driver is also wearing a Rolex? My local friend quickly gave me the lowdown that weekend when we visited some of the markets there. Tommy Bahama, The North Face, you name it. I loved living in China, doing business there was like the Wild Wild West was in America back in the day.
In Shanghai it was the Science & Technology (ironic) metro line 2 station, underground mall. The haggling was fun to watch. My buddy wanted to get 1 - he started leaving 3 times before he got his price.
@@WestCoastAce27 The Patented walk-away move to get the friend-ah price
Fakes exist since luxury goods exist. I just couldn't justify paying any money for a fake. Yeah I probably will never be able to buy a Sub 14060m again but I don't have to lie to myself and others by buying a copy. There are tons of other watches, other brands you know what you get. Buying a fake is just stupid. You have no idea where it comes from, what people are behind it and what criminal organisation you pay for a bit of fake bling.
If Rolex doesn't like it, maybe they could start respecting people who want to buy their watches (I note you said this).
If I was driven by status, I would sure as hell buy Rolex super clones. But honestly, I wouldn't wear a Rolex, real or otherwise.
The highest quality will be from VSF factory.
Well said. Rolex could stop the salesmen from selling directly to their buddies who then flip them - but they won’t. But you left out 1 other reason people buy them: Rolex owners who are afraid of theft buy them. It’s like costume jewelry.
I think the whole culture of luxury watches is BS. The actual watches aren't worth it today. Because of pop culture and media, (music especially) people of all walks of life want luxury items regardless of whether they can afford them or not. So knockoffs are a thing because of that. Even if you are that super rich celebrity that has the real thing, it would be foolish to wear it everywhere. It would be smarter to keep the real watch hidden in a safe somewhere while you wear a replica when you're out in public. Do the same thing for expensive jewelry as well. Not wearing the real thing will help it to keep its value. If you wear that type of jewelry on a regular basis, you may cause wear and tear on it. Or if you're in an accident of some kind, it may be damaged or destroyed.
And money printing and crypto bros who got rich quick.
If you want a real Rolex NOW, your best bet is a pawn shop, especially in a place like Vegas or Atlantic City.
i think that the best way to get back at rolex is to buy an honest seiko or tissot. much better giving money and attention to competitors
Di Indonesia banyak orang yg beli barang palsu untuk klarifikasi kepada masyarakat apabila ada indikasi korupsi.
Can't buy what they aren't selling to you.
I have one , paid 300 buck, works well and looks good.
I would not wear any Rolex, fake or real. Most people that buy them know diddly squat about watches. They buy them because of prestige.
So basically the replica is better and costs 10× less
Because you can. And a Rolex you can't. And there's your answer to why are people buying these.
They make super clones with high quality swiss movements I would absolutely buy one.
I have a fake Rolex that was given to me about 6 years ago.
I wear it everyday and it keeps good time and is still running great.
Would never wear a fake rolex nor have I ever had the desire to. I own a rolex GMT and couldn't care less wether think is real or not, I know it is genuine, and that is all that matters.
Sounds like cope bruh
I have a replica Hulk that was about $300. It keeps perfect time, looks exactly like the genuine one unless you open it up or look at it with a loop. To me, I'd rather have the extra $20K in my bank account and have the look of Rolex that works just fine. If I was super wealthy, I might feel differently, but as a middle class guy, I'm fine with owning a nice replica and a couple of genuine $3,000-$5,000 luxury watches like Breitling and Omega.
Criminals from igrotum hacked into the Rolex database, and now they are selling replicas with original documentation
A super clone is at 1,000 now and is literally unrecognizable even if you look at the movement.
I could not agree with you more...SPOT ON! I get though, that they're trying to avoid the flippers.
Cuz people can’t afford 18k for a watch
There are rumors that igrotum has the Rolex database of serial numbers and sells replicas with the same serial numbers as the originals
Of course I would. Because a genuine isnt $15,000 worth of different. Probably wouldnt rock anything gold plated, or with fake diamonds. But something like a clone submariner, or Daytona. Hell yes.
I want to do such a business, but I got no idea how shall I get customers 😅
I wouldn't buy a replica for several reasons. Mostly because I don't need people to think I'm wealthy enough to buy one, Secondly because you're just as likely to get mugged for your watch since muggers aren't going to ask if it's genuine. Thirdly because there are plenty of "homage" watches out there that don't have the Rolex name, but are very well finished that could easily scratch that "itch" if necessary without pretending it's a Rolex.
People like me are considering replicas as they can’t get real ones. I’m not prepared to pay 5k over list on grey market and I like the designs. I registered at my ad at the weekend. Going to be waiting an age, but in the meantime replica will suffice
Yep, I wanted to get a gen 214270 (MSRP was $6550), had my name placed on a few wait lists a few years ago, never got the call, then Rolex discontinued it. The "new"/unworn ones are going for $12-15k on gray dealers and Chrono24, and the beat up ones are $2k over the OG MSRP. F- that!
True brother
I'm on list of 7 Rolex stores in Toronto from last 2 months. In a year they may be coming
@@swishyboi7444 I'm now 10 months on and no phone call....
Completely legal in most countries. If you’re selling, nope. If you're buying bulk, nope. If you’re carrying your own counterfeits, yes. If throughout the entire process there has been transparency and no scamming, it’s not illegal.
Every country dictates its own rules, but if we’re taking an average, it’s not illegal to buy and own as much as it is to sell.
People buy fake stuff either because they’re aware high quality fakes are often better made than the original luxury good (see Hermes Birkin bags and their shoddy QC compared to $1000 replicas made of the same stuff) or because they want onlookers to think they’re loaded. Sometimes, wealthy people in unsafe areas will prefer to wear high quality replica products to avoid theft and having to go through insurance.
I wouldn’t wear a Rolex knockoff because I want a watch that stays within a few seconds of the time on my phone. A real Rolex can’t do that.
The only Swiss watches that can do that have thermocompensated quartz movements from ETA, and ALMOST NOBODY BUYS THEM because people who wear Swiss watches mostly want mechanical ones and are satisfied if they gain or lose a couple seconds a day.
Andy Warhol didn’t bother to wind his Cartier Tank. He’d just wear it. (Actually he rarely wore most of the watches in his collection.) We’re heading for that: the time displayed on a Rolex doesn’t matter…
There are £50 Hulk Submariner replicas which are way better quality than the one you're shown.
As long as they’re only available on the secondary market and thousands more than retail they’re going to lose money. I bought my first Rolex a few years ago and it’s definitely in need of attention. The bands worn, crystal is scratched and it loses a few minutes a day. The local Rolex dealer doesn’t have any of the entry level models available and I don’t want to buy pre owned. I’m supposed to be on a list with some in the coming months but I’m not going to hold my breath
Replica time
I heard the lists aren't even really real. They just use it to collect your information so they can do background checks on you to make sure you're worthy of buying a Rolex.
I guess u can wear fake nikes too . Some ppl just dont give a F.😢😢
Rolex can keep their watches. I don't even want a replica. Just put a different name. I don't need the name. I only want the design.
How would I get the bracelet sized ?
It’s adjustable with a pin set
This is a very low tier replica, not even mid range
Naw I'll just rock my $200 Seiko SKX.
Love seiko
Then they start comparing the boxes or the serial number on the card to tell you that it is a fake 😂 It’s over. Nothing to do with the quality of the watch
I’ve got an unworn Hulk here in London.
I prefer homages instead of all-out fakes. Steeldive do an amazing submariner homage with a ceramic bezel, sapphire crystal, solid end links, great bracelet, drilled lugs & a Seiko NH35 movement! All at the price of approximately £150! You'd be mad not to! Addiesdive, San Martin, Pagani, etc, all do amazing high quality homages at fantastic prices. To be honest, they beat a lot of the Seiko prospects range, with far better specs, also better QC.
I am now waiting for my Steeldive SD1992 GMT, homage to the Rolex Explorer 2 GMT, & my Addiesdive SA2118, homage to a Grand Seiko. I can't wait, they are fully specced-out! Micro brands all the way from here!
Thanks for your vid. Bless
As long as it doesnt have the brand name, they will let it through. Example: FOLEX is legally speaking not counterfeit.
igrotum is the only replica factory that operates on United States soil without getting caught by the authorities
Me too ( I would absolutely wear a Rolex replica. And would be proud of it.)
You can’t find good replicas in the US unless you know a guy who knows a guy in NY, TX, or LA. and that’s hard to find.. if you travel out of country and buy one you risk having it taken away when you come back.. and if you try to buy on the internet it will be caught by customs.. they open a ton of watches from china to catch the counterfeits and then you lose your money.. some Chinese companies guarantee that they will send you another if it’s caught by customs but they don’t have to and it’s rare when they truly follow through.. they do slip through but I’ve been burned too much.. lost about a grand trying to buy 2 different good replicas only to have both taken by customs and the company never sent the second.. to which I of course blasted their name on every site I could. I did receive one once.. just an old school day date and the quality was a joke. The crown fell out.. I happen to be a horologist so I can fix what breaks but the movements are very cheap and will not hold up..
igrotum is the only replica factory that sells and manufactures their watches themselves also have original serial numbers. That's why they are the best
Everyone should shut down igrotum since they sell replicas with original serial numbers
People buy copies because they like the look but could never afford a real one
Ya think?
Just buy and wear what makes you happy.
Does it matter if you buy a fake Submariner? Of your $600, most of it goes to Chinese people living in absolute poverty or running that system.
If you buy a gen, £3k goes into the AD's account, £2k goes to the tax man, a grand goes to Rolex marketing, a grand goes to Rolex as profit, obv some, maybe £2k goes to material costs and Rolex employees or other costs.
Is that in some way better?
Or, because even if you get yourself on a wait list, there's no guarantee you're gonna actually get one. I had placed my name on several wait lists for the 39mm 214270 Explorer. Needless to say, none of the ADs called me, then the watch was discontinued. If you want a gen watch, you have to spend 2x for an unworn watch and $2k more than retail for a preowned example. And... f- that!
I can afford it but non to buy maybe in a year they call me. In meantime I wear a super replica
I know several people who have reps of cheaper watches and gens of very very expensive ones.
I once had a rep Tudor and a gen Rolex at the same time, I've since told them both, so what?
actually some of the owners of oriiginal rolex would wear superclone as daily just to preserve the real one. which is crazy
Fake guys wear fake watches - don’t do it.
If you can’t get a Rolex, simply buy an other brand.
Omega, Grand Seiko, Tudor (Rolex sister) or just other brands do fantastic watches that you can easily buy.
I sold my Rolex watch because of their ridiculous sales policy.
Greetings from Germany.
Got one when I was in china for 50 dollars…lol…why not
Some good comments here. Question is why buy one? I make enough money to buy a real Rolex but it's stupid- can't even read it in the dark. Might get mugged. Apple Ultra blows them all away. Do I need to impress. No. Do they look cool. Yes. The branding has been effective. There are great quality watches for the same price as replicas (Deep Blue). Yet, I still want one. Perhaps we are just angry at Rolex. Also, many people pushing Swissarex below. See EDC comment.
Why are these replicas so cheap in countries like Pakistan. They are still automatic and good quality, while in America/ Australia you can’t get them from less than $200
How do you spot a fake Rolex? By looking at the guy wearing it. If you wear fake stuff it’s very likely that you want to impress people and act as someone or something you truly aren’t. It’s not so hard to tell if someone has a lack of self confidence. I don’t understand why people would pay hundreds of dollar to turn themselves into a joke. As if your friends and family didn’t know where you work and if you could afford a real one.
I have one as a gift, and not once someone noticed the watch or really even cared, I had my yacht master on, and everyone at the table was looking the people wearing the new Apple Watch, Tech over mechanical, More people care about there phones then these watches,
I own two watches one looks like a Rolex and I have a red band on black case Richard mille and I get compliments but I'll never give them away because I love them and I get compliments
I'm a big fan of Rolex and I don't lay the blame for the exploitation of their watches on them, although I'm fully open to the possibility I may be wrong. What concerns me is fraud, fake and especially exploitation which ultimately destroys the original company and takes your money and our jobs and economy.
So, put your money where you want but think about the implications.
Thats a bad knockoff. Do ppl not know theres tiers? 🤔 A, AAA, U1, SUPERCLONE, TOP SUPERCLONE. Top superclone uses real rolex pieces
I was surprised that many people are ok with this kind of marketing strategy (as it’s quite successful with many luxury brands). To me the effect is the opposite. They can keep it as long as they want.. I’m not in hurry 😂 I can spend money on something else too. Good video spot on! 🎉😎👍
The real crime here is how bad that fake looks, like really really bad. 20 dollar fake I presume?
It was a gift but I imagine it was cheap
I totally get the frustration of buying a Rolex, especially if you love the piece and just want to add it to your collection . However spending your hard earn money on a replica is just not the solution . Wearing a Replica is just lying to yourself when you could spend you money on great affordable watches that has integrity
I see your point. Maybe a Tag Heur or something worth investing without the terrible business practices
Apple has the same business practices in China 😂 you guys are laughable
I can spend my hard earned money however I want. It’s my money. The government blows through my money too, they waste. I get what I want
Any other watch does not keep value but Rolex and not even all Rolex models. It's all bs
@metro2171 Absolute nonsens about "it's just lying to yourself"....
Usually people say this who don't own a JLC.
To each their own respective thoughts. I can’t see pretending to impress someone. If you can’t afford it don’t fake it. It only speaks to one’s character, and you are not to be trusted after being found to be a fraudulent person.
Like DeBeers , they control the market and keep prices high whether or not they sell. Porsche learned this ten years ago, sell fewer cars at higher prices and still make a profit. Rolex are over rated anyway and I have a fake and a real submariner but I won’t wear it in certain cities but will wear a fake. If you get held up no big deal to hand it over.
So ro be clear, you spent thousands on a overrated watch, then some more on a fake version of an overrated watch...Not all robbers will politely ask you to hand over your watch. I read a news report where a Rolex owner was in a coma after being hit over the head with blunt object from behind.
igrotum is the only replica manufacturer that has stock in the US and EU
I never buy Rolex watches because there are so many knockoffs of them available everywhere. i mean EVERYWHERE
Most people will ask you the same question when you wear one: "Are you wearing a real one or a fake one"
Additionally, most people assume that expensive timepieces are not something that ordinary people purchase.
I'm not sure why people continue to desire Rolex watches even when they are fakes-as if Rolex is the only brand available.
that is why I buy other brands of Swiss watches like Breitling Omega and Longines Zenith and so on, which have certain specific models that are harder for knockoffs to make. Just take example of Longines Zulu Times they are mid-range luxury brand but at least it is authentic.
People like the look of it
U are exactly right.
That replica looks fake even through a video.
Just bought a better clone
Yes I would. But I would not pass it as real if asked.
that’s a low grade replica worth about 10 bucks, if u paid $100 or more for a quartz knockoff then damn cos u can get an actual mid grade one for half of that
Just bought a higher grade one
I want a replica so bad and i own a real one I know this i'd rather have a replica ripped off my arm than the real one Rolex are useless they don't even care if you have your watch stolen as to this day they will still not set up a register for lost n stolen watches
You call that a super clone? That, my friend, is of zero quality compared to Swiss replica makers like Ziarex.
thanks for the video
