Such smugness on here.

Check RWI forums.

Clean factory GMTs are nearly 100% identical but they'll set you back around $700.

Ghost watches still exist (actual genuine watch factories building watches with gen parts during off hours) but harder to find. First rule of fight club and all..

You go down this rabbit hole and you may not return.. Even the movement of these watches is identical and you can find 500 page threads of people going on and on about which builder makes the best meteorite face, crystal or bezel with thousands of comparison photos.

These super clone watches use same steel for the bands and weigh exactly the same as the gens down to the last gram.

Every conceivable luxury watch brand has super clones with omega, Rolex and AP leading the way.

Then of course Franken watches are a whole different animal where gen parts are mixed in with replica.

It's not illegal to purchase one but it is illegal to sell so it's a crap shoot if you'll even get the watch or customs will seize it.

The factories get 'busted' all the time by the authorities but they pay a fine then pop up under a different name 6 months later.

Good luck.

ETA oh and China is asshoe

If you want one that looks 98% real, those clowns on /Reptime on reddit can point you in the right direction. But those often cost as much as a nice respectable watch like a Tissot.

Some of the superfakes in China are getting way too close. I know a super fake Panerai out of China is very hard to distinguish from a genuine one

Buying a rep is silly but I can understand. Buying a rep of a $100,000 watch is dumb as shite. It's like when I see bozos walking around with a Tiffany blue AP. Cmon now

I pray that I never get obsessed with something so stupid as a metal thing you wear on your wrist for status amongst other middle class dudes.

I text my wife pictures of watches I think she would like from time to time to determine interest for future gifts. I sent a picture of the double signed Patek/Tiffany 5711 when it came out without including the proper disclaimer. She was busy and didn't text me back but came home wanting to know how long it would take to get one. We had to have a very disappointing conversation.

That's the absolute shiniest place I've ever been in. Take gems from the first floor to get them put into a setting on the 2/3rd floors, yes.

I dont quite understand your logic.. Help me understand the difference between buying a fake of a $35k piece, or of a $100k piece- i dont get it .

That sounds exactly like what someone who sells authentic, non-fake watches would say ..

Should have just told her to write the letter explaining to them why she was deserving of the right to purchase it, and tell her you sent it, wishing her luck.

Probably the idea of wanting to stay just under the radar with it. Let's be honest do you think the OP is going to hold up the rest of the facade that goes with wearing an knockoff 35k, let alone a 100k, piece? Probably wearing it with his lsu fishing shirt and crocs.

When I first read the OP I figured he was just trying to pull off something more basic. But nope.
