A 500 dollar fake will be spotted from the inside. The better the watch, the more complex are the insides. The characteristics of the inside (movement) accelerate and that not proportionally to the outside characteristics. So a 500 bucks watch will only look like the real deal on the outside.

The problem with fakes is you can have someone buying something in the grey market, tell the person it's real, buy a fake Rolex for 8k. You can argue that they should've gone to an authorized dealer but they can have markups and more importantly the dealer hates selling to normal people. Even if you have the money, they won't let you buy it and put you on a wait-list until you shill out more money on other jewelry. So people go to the grey market.

The point is that these watch brand names are protected copyright and the counterfeiters have no right to use them. Even if theoretically a counterfeiter made a watch that was better than a given Rolex model, it would still be a counterfeit if it was passed off as the original .
@Roko__8 ай бұрын
Fake watches are really products that compete with the Original, fakes holding the original's name really isn't an issue if the original is worth by price to quality ratio, true capitalism realizes only the quality of a product and brand reputation has no place in it, If someone can make a better product than you, you shouldn't be able to outright stop the distribution of those products. Copyright creates monopolies and makes only a few companies have access to technology anyone can recreate.Its sad something like movement technology can be "pantented".

There are no mechanical watches that would be 5 dollars or even anything close to that available -- fake or not, and let for them to be anywhere near accurate and reliable -- the only movements that can be accurate at 5$ are quartz movements (battery powered), and as the name suggests, they're powered by a battery, that at 5 dollars, will run out very quickly. Another thing is that quartz watches are very different to mechanical watches (they're usually very loud) and look completely different. A quartz movement in a Rolex would be so obvious that even with no knowledge, you would be able to see the difference. The watches in the video that are fake, are usually upwards of 400+$ dollars because of this.

just got my dad's old 1971 rolex re-serviced. it sat in a jar, rotting. it's an old rolex. jubilee bracelet. slate grey dial. pan handle face. i freaking love it wearing it again after so many years. when the sun is out the watch just glitters. it's all stainless steel and that slate grey dial. simple.

@@shino8854 It's basic economics - supply and demand. In this case both are impacting on the watch market. High demand and low supply (whether real or artificial) creates a perfect environment for the grey & black marketeers to move in and exploit the gap. I collect knives and the same problem exists. A friend of mine who use to work in mining assures me the same even applies to diamonds. A sad reality. Have a great day.

The Diamond District in NYC is a snake pit of dealers buying and selling to each other and then eventually the public. Bottom line, the buyer gets soaked in this swap frenzy. None of this stuff is coming from authorized resellers of factory stock. If you simply want a nice watch and plan to wear it buy the fake. If the dealers have a hard time telling real from fake your friends will never know the difference. Tell the dealers to keep the papers, card and box and you'll be a happy camper with lots of money in your pocket.

@@ericp1139 If you had $1,000,000 in cash to spend, and wanted a watch, why not get a $600-800 replica that looks just like the real thing? You have the cash, nothing to prove, no point in getting a real one because $10-50k or whatever isn't worth flexing when you're a millionaire. Replica buyers are either broke dreamers, or rich guys who won't get called out and are sensible with their money.

I bought a rolex daydate clone off my buddy for $150 that looks amazing. He got it for like $450 originally. I took it to a watch guy just to see what he had to say about it and outside of opening the case or inpecting it very carefully with a magnified lense you wouldnt be qble to tell its fake. And its not like it was instant when he looked at it under the lense, he had to really look at it for a while and found tiny tiny details that were just slightly less refined. They even added tungsten to the watch to make it have the weight of the original. Its impressive.
