Yeah it is a fun and ridiculous piece. You could 'peacock' with it at a bar. Its a fake of a $1M watch so its not like you are trying to realistically fake being a $10M+ guy (unlike someone wearing a replica Patek). I dont know how much the Jacob & Co replica costs but it would fit in any collection its so different. And I want to support the fraudsters making it, I cant wait to see where they will be in 5 years.

Like where? I checked EU, UK, Denmark and USA law yesterday and its not a crime to possess one. It IS a crime to sell them. And it might get seized at customs and destroyed. But you can always plausibly deniably say you got scammed when you bought it off ebay. It might be illegal to possess many fakes as they can argue you have intent to sell.

There isn't really a fashion police walking around and checking your watch and arresting you if its a very accurate fake though.

You retards dont get why people wear apple watch, or what women see.

If a girl sees you with apple watch she does not bucket you anywhere bad. You are bucketed between 'good to infinite'. You are good enough to have a 1k watch which is good enough for most. And you might be a tech entrepreneur or someone really into tech or fitness - and you could be at any level. You could be Sam Altman level.

I dont own an apple watch. I picked a huawei chinese shit version because the sleep tracker was better. I get judged negatively probably. but it legit makes my life better getting this intel on my sleep and heart rate so I got a sales pitch when someone points it out.

The people who derive self-worth from their watches are those spending thousands on omega and rolex and so on.

The person with the replica is far less likely to derive self-worth from the watch. Genuine watch buyers project when the accuse the replica buyers of deriving self worth from the watch. Its because the genuine buyers do and need to attack the replica buyers with *something*!

No, I know its different. I just think they are not too disimilar. And I will get 80% of the happiness at 5% of the cost.

A lot of people say they will get 0% of the happiness at 80% of the cost. They say they need the official sealed certificated brand. I say: thats cool, I am sure you are actually status-signalling right now, but I dont care, I dont know you. If you are certain you need to pay 100% of what this brand tells you to pay in order to get 100% of the satisfaction and you get 0% if you don't: then fine. I think you could change that if you wanted, and I think you wrongly see some status for going out of your way to avoid changing that. I think there are better sources of status. But we can both be happy. Though I'm sure you will be miserable and want to ban my happiness. One guy in last thread literally said death penalty for replica buyers. Yikes!

Yes...but it's pretty damn strange that the same conversations are happening here as they were when I was here last, a few months ago. It's all the same. The reason I ask is because I get the feeling that 4chan is actually overrun by bots now to the point where it's just a series of bots talking to each other. Factories of responses that push the predictable conversation circle and nothing changes.

But not in the way that is comfy, like a familiar book you return to after a decade. No...this is like a mechanized, somewhat inevitable circling of the drain without actually diminishing in distance from the center. Forever circling.

Loving this so far. The bracelet feel kinda unwieldy compared with my Steinhart and Promaster though. Just feels generally stiffer thanks to a bigger clasp length and the link on the clasp doesn’t flex down very far.

For $488 you can get:

> white PVD plated TITANIUM case with forged carbon caseback
> an actually great looking skeleton dial
> real white ceramic bezel
> deployant clasp
> Miyota 8215 automatic
> a sick design

HOWEVER......the cost is...... its a REP of a Richard Mille.

Is it acceptable to wear as realistically nobody will believe its a real Richard Mille and its a sick looking watch.

Hublot just faked a RM at baselworld 2019.

I wish they released a slightly modified version without Richard Mille written on it. This replica makers are really innovating on materials and designs. If they would release a watch just like this but a bit further from a Richard Mille for $1k it would sell like hot cakes.

They litearlly stole both though? And a Richard Mille has shock resistance also, if I banged your shitter against a wall it would break. If these """watchmakers""" are so confident in their abilities as you say, why don't they open up a legitimate business? There are 2 brands whose name I forgot who went "clean" but tried to hide the fact that they were a replica factory or had produced replicas and have just been expose, I believe rightfully so.

I mean they are innovating within their price point. Of course the $400 rep manufacturuers do not have Richard Mille levels of R&D. But look at the materials and designs they are using in a $400 watch. How many watches have white pvd coated titanium and look that good?

If I can find a non-replica watch with the double sapphire glass skeletoniszed movement in a ceramic bezel and pvd coated titanium... I would be happy. especially if it looks as good as the RM. I have realised I have extremely expensive taste - its like I like RM or nothing. RM at baselworld made me feel things that no other watch has.

> And a Richard Mille has shock resistance also, if I banged your shitter against a wall it would break. If these """watchmakers""" are so confident in their abilities as you say, why don't they open up a legitimate business?

Dude we are comparing a $400 watch to a $100k watch here. I don't doubt the $100k watch might be more rugged to shock.

It is impressive what they are pulling off at their price point, thats what I am saying.

How did I just find out about that RM Hublot, very nice.
But still, I am sick and tired of people mistaking China's intellectual property theft and shady business practices for ingenuity or "market sense". One more thing which applies to all luxury goods. When you pay 100k for a RM instead of $400 for a chinese shitter, or when you pay 30k for a Hermes hand-bag instead of a $200 knock-off, you are also paying for a just salary to a worker, insurance, legal fees etc. Buying knockoffs is funding slavery, you are paying for someone who gets payed cents in an unsafe work condition with unsustainable hours and regards for human rights. What do you think the life of a chink, who slaves 18 hours a day in shit factory breathing and being exposed to all kinds of chemicals and safety hazards, is like? Now compare that to a Hermes tailor. Your money is a tool, and the way I see it is I'd rather give my money to a RM engineer or a Hermes designer and make them earn more rather than giving it to a probable slave owner in a shithole country.
