Tho check the reputable dealers on replica watch info

>>15680651
Thanks fren.

>>15680587
I can spot 2-3 differences so far

>>15680587
google replica watch info.

>>15680664
you'll never be able to tell when its on someone's wrist and without a real one side by side to compare to. Stop pretending.

>>15680679
Thing is I don't need to, you get to be humble about wearing a fake and not trying to pretend it's real deal.

>>15680679
totally not a reason to lower the standards

>>15680587
Aliexpress, check ruskies telegram groups for sharing /fa/ fakes in general like this one:

Buy an Invicta Pro Diver. Better movement in it anyways.

Who cares about the movement in jewelry, it's all about bling.
If you care about movement just get mi band.

what standards? lmao
Rolex is the LV bag of the watch world

>>15680870
Genuine LV is still cool and fun when utilized properly

>>15680587
Just buy a nice sub hommage like Steinhart or San Martin. Why would you want to lie to others and yourself? Paying thousands for what's essentially jewelery with barely any valuable materials is ridiculous but pretending to own the real deal when it's obviously not reflective of your lifestyle or achievements is worse.

I wish I did this instead of buying a breitling.

>>15680899
did you buy 2nd hand at least?

>>15680643
ya man literally get a job and save for a few months and get a real one.

>>15680903
No, I spent almost £3k on a fucking watch lmao. Tbf I don't really care about that as I paid finance but it's the servicing costs that bug me. £600 to get a full service like wtf?

>>15680933
Lmao, breitling are the shittiest looking watches

>>15680951
the absolute kitsch

>>15680951
I actually really like the navitimer and some of the £5k< ones but I'd never spend that much.

>>15680959
All these Breitlings are equivalent of pic related in 2020.

>>15680964
I bought mine in 2017 so I'm good I hope lol

>>15680964
wtf it's literally slide ruler built into watch.
can not unsee...

>>15680933
>it's the servicing costs that bug me. £600 to get a full service like wtf?

yep
its not just the cost of the watch, its also the servicing
but to be real, as long as the watch still runs you dont need to service it.

Homages are even worst than fakes.
If you write a book, a fake is someone selling a printed copy, a homage is someone grabbing that book, changing the name of the author and selling it as their own.
Fuck homages, the lowest of the low, stealing designs and putting a generic eta movement on them isn't ethical at all.
Praising homage watches is brainlet, I rather have a fake than a homage.

>people defending replicas

You "people" managed to be more reddit than reddit.

>>15681086
Yeah thats a good idea of actually has value. I like gold and silver jewelry compared to watches.

Better the falling for the ((luxury "timepiece")) Jew

Rolex steel parts are all made in chinese factories anyway.
Same as louis vuitton who use African workers to make their leather. But they market it as premium

>>15680865
Based Retard

>>15681099
False. An hommage admits that it isn't the real deal, a fake is just a phony.

>>15681099
brainlet
thats like saying only Levis can make jeans and all other jeans are ""fakes""

It’s illegal to import a fake rolex into Japan. God damn it.

>>15681326
being so opposed to replicas is even more reddit, retard. you sound new as fuck

>>15681987
>>15680587
just buy a pagani design or whatever. These specs are crazy for only $70 usd
literally look up reviews

>>15680664
name them

>>15680599
Hommages are kind of ridiculous. It's kind of a capitulation. You show that you can't afford the original and can't fulfill yourself the desire to own it. So you capitulate and buy a "hommage" even glorifying the original piece and the people able to afford it. Then rather a plane fake and hoping no one will realize.

>>15682063
>and can't fulfill yourself the desire to own it.
this right here.

The joy and satisfaction you experience once you save enough and then buy it will be worth the wait. You will feel immense pride and confidence in yourself everytime you look down at your wrist while you jack off.

>>15681958
Your comparison of a specific watch model to jeans in general is bullshit. It's a specific design that is copied, that's the reason why it's called hommage in the first place.

>>15681099

based incel!

>>15682067
That's exactly what a hommage is doing too. Best is to buy a watch you can afford and not some copy.

>>15682066
imagine thinking it was rolex who came up with the design

suck the cock of your AD more, wont you?

>>15682070
Not really, because you knowingly sacrifice the prestige of owning a rolex watch because you either can't (or won't) pay the premium for the badge. Buying a homage nets you a similar design and build quality that is usually near identical to the original, that way you can have the watch that goes with your fits and you still have money left over to enjoy instead of being bankrupted for the next year.

Buy buying a fake you've already admitted to yourself that you can't afford a genuine Rolex, but you won't admit that to other people even if they know you work at McDonalds and signalling that you care about branding above all else.

>>15682057
- that smaller glass drop (idk how do you properly call it) seems more thick and round on original
- these little rounds that make the hour marks has a metal borders. These borders are noticeably thicker in fake.
- the metal shade is different. It could be a lighting thing, but if getting to touch both you may catch the difference in texture

14060m coming through.

Being a wristlet, the newer cases are way too big.

Not a replica man myself but this one is tempting

>>15682080
You're somewhat right concerning the branding thing in your last paragraph. But saying that you buy a hommage because you get the build quality and it's an intelligent way not to pay the premium is lame. There are lots of other affordable high quality watches out there that just don't have the optics of a high cost watch, so with buying a hommage you still admit you want that high price look. But you're right, compared to buying a fake, it's the more sincere thing. However i don't understand both (also keep in mind that an original often is not that bad of an investment)

>>15682142
Breitling still didn't get beyond their 90s poser watch image. Also they don't really have consistent design and pricing. The superocean is nothing than a recent copy of a submariner design, sth that rolex offers since the 60s (unchanged)

>yes, buy a rolex, their designs are so fresh and interes....

>>15682167
>The superocean is nothing than a recent copy of a submariner
it doesnt even look remotely like a submariner. Literally open your eyes retard

>>15682169
You need some more information on watches. Rolex got unchanged designs since the 60s, they set the standard, same like AP or also Omega (but not 100%). All the mid tier brands like Breitling, Longines are simply dress watches. They are available in large quantities, they are also sold "on sale" and they change their designs to suit temporary taste (often this implied copying the iconic brands). They are bit the same level. Still i admit, they got nice watches, it simply depends what you're looking for.

>>15682171
Man i'm not insulting you because of your watch taste, but look up superoceans of the 60s 70s and see how their design has shifted towards submariner. Submariner is the same since it was introduced in the 50s.

>>15682173
you know rolex -literally- makes like a million watches a year right?
>All the mid tier brands like Breitling, Longines are simply dress watches.
??
>what is an oyster perpetual
>what is a rolex cellini
>what is a rolex prince

rolex is only "entry level luxury", please dont put it on the same tier as AP. AP/Patek/VC are true HH brands.

>>15682177
>Submariner is the same since it was introduced in the 50s.
erm no?
this is the literal 1st sub, a lot of things have changed.
also, blancpain was the 1st to do it, rolex copied them.

>The Blancpain Fifty Fathoms was the original modern dive watch. Yes, you read that correctly. While many people would instinctively give this title to the more well-known Rolex Submariner, the Fifty Fathoms actually debuted a number of innovations a year before the Submariner. While the first commerical Fifty Fathoms was released in 1953, the story goes a little further back than that.

Lol, it's even listed as a hommage alternative to the submariner on watchdig:

>>15682193

this was the design that rolex copied.

>>15682193
rolex sub is just as much of a homage as anything else. design does not exist in a vacuum. Sorry you fell for marketing tricks.

>>15682202
True, we all fell for them. You're on /fa

>>15682165
Well this is discussing specifically the submariner style, I mean apart from getting a fake your choices are either a homage or a watch that tries to be a submariner without being a submariner.

If OP literally only cares about having a posh watch regardless of appearance then yeah I’d agree, you can sidestep the issue entirely an get something bespoke and tasteful without spending Rolex money anyway, but if we’re talking about a Submariner then I personally wouldn’t pay for the privilege of being a Rolex owner (because badge snobbery is for girls desu) and somehow most divers watches look like malformed submariners so a homage is just what I think is most appropriate if you want a submariner that is affordable, rather than embarrassing one’s self by wearing a Rolex that everyone will know is fake simply because if OP knows he can’t afford one then so will everyone else

>>15682167
How is that even look like a submariner?
But that watch is not that expensive so I'll get the gen one day, maybe.

>>15682224
Lol you pleb, buy a breitling, i got myself this badboy right here in the meantime

i like this watch

just buy a gshock.

nice gshock

>>15682067
I made the original post and just to clarify, I do not own a fake watch.
The point that I was making is that for me homage watches are in the same level as fake watches.
Companies like rolex spend millions on R&D advertisement etc... and now shitty companies grab all that work, put a shitty movement on them and get all the praise in the watch community? Simply don't get how a fake watch is the lowest of the low but if you change the 5 rolex letters all of the sudden everything is not only acceptable but also praised.... A product is the product, not the logo. Also wearing a homage clearly screams "I want that but can't afford the real deal" like wearing a fake one.
Just to clarify, If I can't afford a sub, I think that I would buy something like a seiko turtle, pretty much a watch with the same vibe but clearly is not a knock off.
My issue is that line between homages and fakes, I put them in the same bag.

>>15682430
>rolex spend millions on R&D
*rolls eyes*

rolex have no actual R&D for decades. The same rehashed shit over and over. They dont even have a tourbillion, one of the "basic" tests for a competent watchmaker. Compare them to Zenith, JLC, Bvlgari or even Omega and you see how lazy Rolex is. Its like 70% marketing and 30% watch.

>>15682234
Wrist measurement: Cheeseburger

>>15682450
>Its like 70% marketing and 30% watch.
Thing is that 70% marketing actually make it up for customers. People buy it for the sake of owning Rolex™. I think it would barely feel as good without knowing how much you spent.

>>15682450
All the companies that you used as example are also pretty much reusing the same designs, even the octo finissimo isn't new.
Obviously rolex spends millions on r&d in order to update their models. Btw they bring new stuff like the skydweller.
Regardless, even if rolex spends 100% of their budget on advertisement doesn't matter, you're not answering why doing a fake rolex with "rolex" on the dial is extremely bad a fake rolex with "not rolex" on the dial is praised.

>>15682468
>update their models.

WOW THE NEW SUB IS 1mm BIGGER, AMAZING

lemmings and sheep

>>15682470
And again you don't answer my question...
And yes, in order to update the submariner 1mm, millions of dollars were spent in order to update the movement, bracelet and case. Also millions more on advertisement.

>>15682468
??
they are actually coming up with new stuff all the time
show me a rolex as thin as the finissimo, which was created in 2014

>they bring new stuff like the skydweller.
wow thanks, it looks ugly af
is this a way to use up their stock of old datejust cases?

>>15682482
>show me a rolex as thin as the finissimo
They don't make it, obviously the octo is going after the royal oak and they created something even thinner. The rolex Genta design failed, even though I think that the rolex king midas is one of the coolest rolex.
In relation to new stuff, I 100% agree that rolex is boring, but you can pretty much say the same thing from all the watch brands mentioned above.
I know that I'm going to sound like a rolex dick rider, but I honestly believe that rolex spends a ton of money just to change the submariner 0.5mm. Do you really believe that is just one guy "uh let's make it 0.5mm larger"?
But like I just said, even if their R&D cost 0 dollars, and 100% of their budget is spent on advertisement, they developed their products, making knock offs of rolex, or any other brand, with or without their logo for me is the same thing, I honestly don't the huge difference between homage and fake.

>>15682468
>you're not answering why doing a fake rolex with "rolex" on the dial is extremely bad a fake rolex with "not rolex" on the dial is praised.
How many times have you seen people lashing out at homages? It's cerulean sweater kind of thing. I see people blaming Zara for example tho, but it's not as massive. Homages lay in rather gray area.

>>15682520
It literally just comes down to whether you want to be honest that you aren't buying a rolex or not. I'd rather buy a homage and have people sneer at me for not getting the real deal than buy a fake and trick anyone into thinking I've got more money than I do.

>>15682450
Wtf you talking about? Ever seen a golf or tennis tournament?

>>15682520
>they developed their products
You're talking about that Blancpain homage brand?

>>15681046
Yeah I guess if I'm not gonna sell it (which I won't because the loss is too great) there's no point getting it serviced.

>>15682658
Exactly that one, I always need to put my glasses on to see if I'm holding a 50 fathoms or a submariner. Thank god companies put their logo on the dial.

>>15680587
They always fuck up the bracelet, thickness and crown so be warned that someone who knows watches will notice.
