Replica Watches!?!?

My friend ordered a few replica watches from this site:

http://www.idolreplicas.com/
and to tell the truth, they look amazing. Couldn't tell if it is original or replica.
For sure they will not last too long, but to show off.... and they have a huge collection....

Do any of you have replica watches?

I don't have any replicas but these looks good. I'm surprised at all the models they have. I've seen some cheap replicas before with hollow links and whatnot and it was really cheesy. I wonder how these are.

Breitlings for example look amazing in reality. I couldn't tell that they are not original....

The people who make replicas are getting very good at it.

That site is still selling low quality replicas. I've seen better ones and you definitely can't see the difference until you open and peek at the movement.

It is getting harder to tell, still they are not made NEAR as well as the real thing. You can't even wash your hands w/ these watches. It's worse than slapping an AMG sticker on your car. They are crap and illegal in the US. You're cheating others out of money when you buy them. Not to mention the money you're giving these scammers is funding terrorist and criminal organizations

I don't know if you want to believe or not, the higher grade replica can be used while swimming.

It's crap and illegal everywhere, not just in the US. In Swiss, if you are caught using replica, they will fine you.

It's the same thing for those people who use replica rims, they are fakers and those who bought them indirectly funding terrorists and criminal organizations.

Replicas hurt everyone, not just the upscale collector.

Better to buy a used or vintage example, IMO.

Explain that to me please

I have a fake Rolex I got from Palika Bazaar in Dehli, it's fantastic. I paid almost a hundred bucks for it a few years ago and it still runs smooth (whenever I shake it to get it started lol)

I'm really shocked how many people on here own fakes...

If you can't afford the real thing just get a cool G-shock.

All the people with fake Brabus Monobloc VI wheels and fake Lorinser roof wings are funding terrorist activities.

You do really like Tag Heuer.

I have that Tag Heuer Carrera Chronograph as well, it's my daily watch.

It would be funny to look up all the threads on here.

( OMG some XXX had an AMG sticker on it.. Blah blah blah) I wonder how many of those same fools were rocking fake Rolex watches.
