Not suggesting to buy a replica, I'm just yapping away. It doesn't bother me if someone did buy a replica. Sometime I buy top quality products and sometimes I buy off brands.

I have bootlegs and unapproved items in my music collection, highly desirable items among collectors.
I went down a rabbit hole after your last comment and discovered there's a HUGE subcommunity of replica watch lovers. There's a massive group on reddit posting pictures/comments/discussions about various replicas. Rolex seems to dominate this subsection. I must admit based on the photos alone they do look quite good considering the cost. But I would imagine the weight and feel and movement still wouldn't hold a candle to a gen Rolex.

There's a whole secret world of 'trusted dealers' to source these rep watches out of the factories in China. Interesting stuff. I should get a le mans rep just for kicks and give my thoughts on the quality vs gen Daytona haha. The ordering process does seem a bit shady though.

Fascinating there's a group chat on those. While trying to find it again, looks like there's plenty of videos people buying seperate parts and assembling their own look alike rolex.

The daytona you posted earlier I saw one on ali express for $628. Have you ever purchased on Ali? I shop there a lot that's where I got my decibel meter and many many more things. Lots of times it's the same thing on amazon but less expensive.
