Very true, maybe I should have said why would someone buy a bastardised Rolex.
Got to wonder what happened to the original dial, water damage maybe.

Probably something like that. But remember most people only know Rolex as a luxury brand and have no clue of the models etc. They buy that and then they get into watches or they just wear it because it's a status symbol. Unlike us watch nerds who cannot get enough lol.
True story here, when I first found RWI and got in to the Rep game in 2015 my buddy who is a big shot executive showed me his Rolex. It was supposed to be a 6-digit LV, but something always puzzled me about it. It wasn't until later that I realized he was wearing a Rep, and a cheap one to boot. While I never examined the insert or face etc, it was a ceramic sub in LV (Green) but had a 5-digit sub bracelet with the old style clasp. Today that would be a dead giveaway for me, but not then. He used to wear it to his big events because all the executives wore their Rollies, not sure if anyone ever spotted it in that group or not. But it is a funny story and shows how OCD we can be lol.
