As an American living in CH for years, my wife took my Rolex sub (that I have owned for 24 years) to the local Rolex certified shop (Bucherer) for a service. The lady at the shop told my wife that they would not service the watch because it was a fake. She had the original purchase papers and the lady still insisted it was fake. The store manager was called in to examine the watch and verify that it is genuine and that they would be happy to ship it to Rolex for the full service. The service cost me $1100. Lesson learned. These fakes are looking pretty good considering the "official" treatment one receives when owning a real one. It was really an embarrassing experience for my wife...the store was not empty and the lady at Bucherer made her feel unwelcome with that statement. Fu^% those pompous pricks.

Intelectual property theft is serious. But watchmakers have to come back down to planet earth with those ridiculous prices.

[@herewegoagain...]

You and I will agree IP rights are to be respected. We can have an appreciation for the ability to replicate all we want, but stealing IP, R&D, and all the time, money, and labor that went into designing and creating something that captivates so many is clearly wrong. That said, I feel that very reality reinforces those prices. At $5,200 for this watch in particular, you are not only paying for a mass produced, albeit quality watch. You are also covering the costs of R&D and, quite honestly, the entire legacy that led to that watch. Without Omega, in this case, that $500 very accurate copy, would not exist. The connection it has to James Bond would not exist. It would cost $500 because no one would pay more for it (feature for feature). Ignoring for the moment that in a capitalist society, there should always be room for products at every price point, the simple reality is, that when you buy something that is extremely coveted... enough to warrant such a close copy to be made... you are are not only paying for a fine quality piece, but also paying for the very arduous road that made that piece even possible.

In 2021, Rolex produced (estimated) 1.05m watches and generated revenues of $8.8 BILLION USD which is $8400 per time piece. So even genuine Swiss watches are NOT about rarity but more what the "market can bear". When shops say they are out-of-stock it's just a way to get your contact details to sell you one WHEN (not if) the watch arrives. Most likely I'll purchase a Tudor this year but the one I want is not made anymore... but to think an AP royal Oak is $50,000 I think I may as well get a Pagani Design "royal oak" for 1% of the cost & give away the 99% to charity or buy a nice Seiko or SeaGull.

Brands such as Longines, Oris, Rado, etc, etc. No need to buy a fake Rolex or Omega. Heck, if even that's too much for you, buy a $500 Swiss watch from a brand such as Tissot or Hamilton.

He wants something with a good brand name that looks quality and impressive on his wrist. If a fake can be 98% convincing, that's more than enough to rationalize spending $400 instead of $4,000. Of course if money is no object than the real one is a no-brainer. And there is of course much to be said about knowing that you own something with that kind of history and engineering behind it. But many people, when faced with the actual choice of spending their own money, will not be able to justify that kind of money when something this good is available as an alternative.

[@tonyr1736]

I'm not a watch enthusiast, and I'm poor, but I fell in love with the beautiful orange Planet Ocean many years ago. So, many years ago, I bought an "ultimate replica" from a reputable seller online (it costed $300 USD). I loved it, and had no problems telling everyone that it's a replica. All my friends and family know I'm poor anyways. However, it really seems the narrator is finding difficulty in exposing fakes. So, let me help him outline the real issues: (1) Every fake Omega has a very tiny serial number printed on the back that is unique to fakes. You simply look at it and then you'll know. (2) The ticking of the movement is actually audible in a silent room. I have caught myself numerous times, while driving, or in my room, being annoyed by the subtle ticking that you will hear (it's not loud enough to be audible to anyone else). (3) After about 6 months of ownership, it began to gain time (even though it was a highly revered ETA 2824-2 movement). (4) Because of how often it would gain time, I always found myself unscrewing/re-screwing the crown to adjust the time. Well, it so happened that one day the crown no longer screwed in because the screw thread eventually stripped away from wear. (5) I let the watch sit in my drawer collecting dust because I didn't want to wear a watch with a popped out crown, and thought I would wait until I had time to overhaul/clean the watch to correct the timing and fix the crown. Another $300 USD later, it was overhauled and repaired. (6) I started happily wearing it, again, but not long thereafter, I accidentally dropped it and five of the hour markers in the dial fell off inside the watch! So, I then learned the adhesive the replicas use are clearly cheap. Replicas are great at first sight; but they do not hold up to the stress test of day-to-day living. If these new ones hold up though, boy I'm tempted to buy another one haha!

Making a high quality replica of a famous brand allow the investor to turn manufacturing capacity into profit with a very predictable income stream and low overhead, they only need to make a convincing copy of the real thing at a price point that is affordable to a lot of people, and they know customer will come. There are Chinese watch brands that are trying to make something out of themselves and design and make original watches, but its very hard work, and it mostly fall on marketing and brand building. In China, their strongest skillset are in science and engineering, to take something, reverse engineering it and then create a great copy of it is just easy for them. I would argue that all those famous brand are POS at their price point, as clearly if a replica at 15-20 times cheaper can get so close to it. Also don't be naive, if watch making is difficult, do you think that it would be cheap to get skilled labour thats pretty much on par with Omega in this case? As for servicing, why do you need an official dealer to service it? A watch is no different than any device, it can be serviced by someone who knows what they are doing. All my Porsche and BMWs have never serviced at the dealer because I have a trusted shop that deals with BMW and Porsche at a more reasonable price point. You sound like a snob. I have many fake high end watches and I have enjoyed them, I really just like their look and nothing else, as I see them as inferior time keeping POS, my $200 Bulova (this one is real lol) precisionist has a margin of error of 8sec PER YEAR, so any mechanical watches can go fxxk off pretending to be a watch that keeps good time in the 21st century.

The value of a luxury watch is almost entirely sentimental. at least to me the idea that I have a feat of engineering and craftsman ship on my wrist is valuable, not time it tells. So a counterfeit has no value no matter how closely it resembles the original. This one does tempt me though, I would genuinely consider buying it if it had its own brand name on it.

[@IA100KPDT]

@@leafboy3967 I used to believe that, yes, there's engineering, actually, its more the detailing. I remember I saw a comment in a watch video that in the 60s Switzerland cancelled a couple of their annual watch events when Grand Seiko started winning them, so clearly, Japan had caught up in the 60s but Swiss need to maintain the perceived image. By all means, get a real luxury watch if you can afford it. The problem is brand like Rolex has so much hype build into it and you cant even get one from an AD without first buying tons of watches you don't want and be on their waiting list. This is annoying to me, if you are buying a watch for the engineering but end up paying for their marketing hype.
