kloshar 0 Posted June 16, 2010 Does anyone have any original "Rolex-style" watch like Invicta, Debaufre, Steinhart ... The watches look very beautiful on the pictures. How is the quality of these watches? Which brands are the best? regards! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
trailboss99 997 Posted June 16, 2010 Some are very nice indeed. At least you get Swiss QC and a gen ETA. Col. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted June 16, 2010 I have a very nice Invicta 9937 w/coin-edge bezel. It's a nice watch, but it says "Invicta" on it, not Rolex. Kind of bugs me. If you don't mind, they're great watches. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hehe, why is it a bug if it doesn't say Rolex? Don't you ever feel a bit embarrassed that you wear a "Rolex" that is actually not a Rolex? Someone once said to me: Fake watches are for fake people.

I also have plenty of Fake watches as you put it, so I must be a Fake person. Slagging off people for wearing fake watches on a fake watch forum isn't likely to get you much help. If we are fake people why are you here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Why would a person wear a fake watch if he can get a very similar, but original watch? To fool someone? To fool yourself?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AllergyDoc 40 Posted June 16, 2010 Ah, the old "why do you buy fake watches" question. You're on the wrong forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pollux1 3 Posted June 16, 2010 A homage is simply a fake of the gen too, imho at least I tell ppl it's a copy, I admire em for what they are, works of the forger's art Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gowings23 0 Posted June 16, 2010 Pollux is right. I actually have 3 Invicta's, and they are very nice watches. Good movements, reliable, etc etc. I've had people actually ask me if my black one is a Rolex, because it resembles it from a distance. I actually prefer the reps over the gen Invicta's. IMHO, most high quality reps are actually better made time pieces than a gen Invicta. If people ask me if my watch is "fake", I say no, because it's on my wrist, but it is a rep. If someone tries to pass off a rep as a gen, then I think that is where the issue lies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

About the term "replica". Isn't that word faux? As far as I know the replica means renewed model, a model, that has been very popular in history but they started to build and sell it again. Am I right?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Member X 91 Posted June 17, 2010 There's a much better version of that image with a ruder word on it LoL I think the point is, Kloshar, if you're still here, that we are not representing them as 'real'. If asked, most of us will either state that they are replicas or give an answer that someone who is into watches will understand as indicating they are not the real deal - but without specifically stating it's a replica. (It's more fun that way ) I think it is you that is attaching a set of values to a watch - you are assuming that a watch, such as a Rolex, is only worn by those with money / good taste / values that you can identify with and therefore 'allow' you to be friends with him/her. It is you who feels cheated when you have assumed the person has these values/money, only to discover that they haven't. I assert that any true watch enthusiast who enjoys watches for the design aspect (rather than being sucked into the label/branding on it and the 'mystique'/'implied values' that the label/branding has worked hard to promote) should appreciate a replica for the maker's skills that have been put into creating a good facsimile of a watch that, in all likelyhood, they have never actually seen or held in real life.
