Yeah, as a genuine Rolex owner, it’s getting harder and harder to justify the difference in price. If it was just “close” that would be one thing but I saw the cloned 3135 in a Sub and it was stunningly beautiful and buttery smooth. Without having the genuine to compare it to (or possibly even with a genuine to compare it to) I was unable to distinguish it from the genuine movement. The original idea was that your money was justified because you were getting a superbly engineered machine with unmatched tolerances. That’s no longer the case. A $500 watch with a high quality clone movement is an absolute bargain and you’re still getting a lot of quality. Just my 2 cents. I’m ashamed to write this but I’m simply stating facts.

I feel the same. Due to the shortage, I was unable to buy a genuine 116610LN for a long time. I ordered a fake until I could source and get the real deal. I cannot tell them apart without magnifying the serial number. The genuine sits in my safe and I still wear the fake. The value of my Submariner has gone up quite a bit, and I can get even more for it with the sticker on the back and in unworn condition. Why beat up the real one? It has become for investment purposes only.

You talk about all these "large" differences between the finish of the replica vs the genuine but fail to mention the biggest difference of all. The 10,000 dollar USD difference between the two extraordinarily similar movements. with $10,500 dollars I could buy a new watch every three years for 42 years, if I invest my $10,000 and take out $460 every three years for a replacement replica I would have $85,000 after 42 years assuming a 6 percent ROI. Genuine Rolex are for suckers. It is actually very disheartening to see what has happened to the Rolex brand. It started as a workmans watch for everyday use, a reliable movement and great utility for around $1,000 adjusted for inflation.

This highly depends on which factory makes the cloned movement. The 3135 clone shown here is a low end clone. Probably worth $60. I have seen very high end clones where the finishing is close to 80% - 90% the genuine. And the winding is buttery smooth. Some of these new 3235 movements with the 70hr Power Reserve are made at a much higher QC. Also, these clones are so close to OEM that some hobbyists buy the GEN winding mechanism and balance and replace it on a high-end clone movement. Everything fits, and then it's really hard to tell the rest of the movement is fake.

If I had a £70k rolex , in todays day and age where crime for watches has become a huge threat , I would keep it and wear for occasional use for things like weddings and other important things where the risk of theft is low. However I would purchase the exact same watch in clone form , you could then essentially wear the watch you own everyday and the risk of theft is less important , if a masked armed robber asks for your rolex , im sure most of us woukd resist handing over 70k worth , and most likely get injured defending it. If you pay around £600 for a clean factory rolex with every bit of the same look and movement, all be it cloned ,you can just hand it over knowing its worth nothing to the theives Personally the only problem with clones I have is people selling them as real. If I was buying real and paying £20k plus , I wouldn't be getting it from the Internet and it would be examined properly to negate a fake anyway. Most people buying and selling fakes aren't selling as real anymore as there is money in fakes these days

I wouldn't expect anyone but another vintage watch enthusiast to even have a clue what I'm wearing. Rolex makes great movements, but the enjoyment I would get from one is completely destroyed by their use as a prop by people who think that proclaiming their wealth earns them the admiration of others.

Everyone is talking about this movement bring a fake. Swiss movements don’t always have a patent on them once they are older and it expires. So anyone can make this. But I’m more thinking if another watch company uses this in there divers watch and it’s a high grade watch for 800-1000 dollars then what am I getting as far Rolex sub being worth 12-15k. I have owned a Rolex sub and a few omega sea masters and sold the Rolex back in 2010. As much as I would like to buy another Rolex sub at some point I would definitely buy another brand watch with the same rolex movement or even the Tudor movement they use in the black bay 58. I guess what I’m saying is the movements in others are pretty much 98 percent of what my rolex was and there so as many brands for 1500-2000 dollars I’m not sure if I would really want to chase down another rolex at todays prices when I can buy another brand with the same movement that looks like a good divers watch. I mean the omega sea master 300 is a great watch for 5-6k and there are hundreds in the 1500-2000 dollars area.

I agree with you 100 percent. So many of the Rolex movement have expired patents now. And just like the sw200 Swiss movement is a clone of ETA movement we are starting to see real movements that are not fakes they are legal clones of the Rolex movements from the early 2000’s back. It’s crazy I can buy a duvet watch with a Rolex clone 3130 movement for 1000 all day and it’s a beautiful watch. With full 5 year warranty and it’s 100 percent assembled and regulated in the USA. I love Rolex but they allowed their dealers to treat customers like crap and that is on Rolex for allowing it. Omega makes some beautiful watches also. But I think I’m going with some of the new USA watch companies that put together the watches and warranty the watches in the USA. Something makes me proud to know the watch was put together in the USA at least. It’s time to support companies that want our business and go the extra mile for their customers.
