I dont know, I just can't stand people calling them "fake watches". None of our watches are fake, they all keep time like a real watch, function chronograph like they suppose to, what's so fake about them? They are replicas yes but why FAKE!!?!?!

Besides I think everyone in the world are all wearing replicas. Say if I work for Rolex and I design a watch call M3nster, that's the only one true original in the world. Then I send my design off to get REPLICATED and mass produce to sell to the public. So....we all wear reps! So there!

Ok I will shut up now:biglaugh:

When discussing watches with anyone outside the hobby I always use the term replica watches or reproduction watch :)

Good Point!

I agree; they're reproductions of genuine originals. Can you imagine telling a car enthusiast that the kit Cobra he just assembled is a "fake Cobra?" No, people say (as does he) it's a replica of a Cobra.... Why would replica Rolexes, Pams, Breits, Omegas, etc. be any different. Words DO have an impact.

I refer to them as "Illegal, copyright-infringing, terrorist-funding, child-enslaving, inflaters of low self-esteem, and let me tell you where you can buy them!
