- Join me on my adventure as I attempt to purchase a super fake Rolex GMT-Master II Pepsi super clone from Vietnam's famous Ben Thanh market. We dive into the replica watch world and try to score a deal on a super clone Rolex watch to compare the difference to the genuine counterpart. Surprisingly, it was a lot more difficult finding a super fake than you would imagine.
Hope you all enjoy this one! - Zábava
Hi everyone! Please stay vigilant and ignore any fishy comments you may see in the comments. I won't ever personally message you on CZcams or any other social media platforms. Avoid anything that mentions SWISSAREX in the comments. They are flooding this video with unwanted spam. Thanks and stay safe!
Not being funny dude but low balling him $450 would wind me up to. Negotiation is a two way street. If you wanna pay that low, order online via a rep dealer. You got what you deserved which is rudeness from him to match the rudeness of your offer…
Rediculously long winded, sounding intelligent is not the same as being intelligent.
@@Dr.Mzungu sorry about that. There are tons of other intelligent creators out there. Feel free to move along!

Probably better than dealing with a real AD at this point.
Totally true. And you can TEST DRIVE the watch before spending 15-20k on a pepsi. A rep is great to be wore outside the house and not worry about scratches or suffer any loss in a robbery. Knocks on wood.
You ain’t lying my brother!
AD are the worst
You mean “surely”. I tried to get my grandfather a birthday present, walked in asking about an OP 41. They made me feel like I’m an idiot for not knowing about how sought after they are and it would be best that I look at other brands.
No doubt. An AD would have turned around and walked away without a word...or a number on a calculator.
You were shocked about the unprofessionalism of someone dealing in counterfeit watches? 🤔
Clean GMTs are going for about 580-590 USD on websites not including international shipping. So 600 USD in hand for the watch is absolutely solid and fair
Yes you're right. I think he was just being penny wise and pound foolish trying to get it for 450.00. No wonder the owner was mad and threw him out. HAHA
Yeah I think its lame he didnt buy it either lol
@@dixter1652 Joshua at perfect clones Google perfect clones. Also there are a bunch of good Facebook groups.
you can buy it in my country for 200
@@mirijevac1312no you can’t. The best GMT replicas are produced by one single company and they are not selling them for $200.
If you buy one for $200, then you are getting a big piece of crap.
I bought a replica Panerai when I was in Thailand back in 2005. I was there with a group of friends and our taxi driver/tour guide brought us to the store, and we all bought fake watches just for fun. The result was that I loved the way it looked but seldom wore it since like you, I felt like an impostor whenever I did. Not surprisingly it broke within a matter of months anyway. The one good thing that came out of it was that it inspired me to buy the real deal as soon as I could afford one, and I gifted myself an authentic Panerai 6 years later following the successful launch my business in 2011.
I bought a Rolex a few years ago and I feel like an imposter when I wear it. In fact I think I'm going to sell it and get and Oris. Then I'll spend the rest on pussy and beer.
Funny, I bought a fake Panerai about 16 years ago here on CZcams. Not even knowing it was a fake, because I didn't know the brand back then. It broke down 2 years later, and after Googling I learned it was a fake. Couple years ago I bought a genuine PAM024.
There's a very significant technical advance since 2005, even good fakes looked like a laugh, compared to how scaringly accurate they are now. Actuoally, the technological level of superfakes shows, how much extra Rolex gets for their stuff, especially in the case of simple steel Submariner.
If someone builds something this is exactly the same as another product, is it still fake?
@@marfadog2945ha, you don’t own a Rolex!
Amazing video bro! It’s definitely always worth saving up to get the real thing without a doubt! Keep up the great work! 😊
If Rolex's were more accessible to the general public, there would not be such a demand for replica ones.
$600 actually sounds like a great deal. I would have paid that.

I think there has to be a reminder on WHY the fake watch market is booming especially in the past few years - and that's because of brands like Rolex where trying to get a watch for retail has become impossible for most people. Regular folks might have the money to actually buy a Rolex they want at retail but you guys know how that works at this point. So, where do people turn to instead? The replica market. It's obviously much cheaper, convenient, and hassle/drama free. Yes they're not authentic but people are just tired of playing the game that Rolex has set us up to.
I'd rather buy a Tudor or an Omega if I can't get a Rolex. Buying a fake one is silly.
Try taking your clone in for service and see what happens!. All mechanical watches needs service eventually and unless you have the skill to service that clone yourself you have to service your watch at a watchmaker. And guess what!!!...When they discover it's a fake Rolex they will destroy the watch and contact the authorities since it's illegal.
@@MrLeicamaster Tudor is 95% the same inside and priced correctly. And you'll never have to deal with AD buttheads.
@@roboman6669 Most services cost more than the fake watch is worth, just because it's a Rolex.

Great video! Very interesting experience. I have a 16600 that I bought new in 2008 but I totally get the allure of a super fake. Don’t have $11,000 to throw at a Rolex? Then buying a $500 replica Rolex that is nearly indistinguishable from an actual Rolex makes a lot of sense.
Where did you buy it from? I am looking for a trusted source?
@@johnlongo200 hey John, I live in L.A. so I went to the Geary’s in Beverly Hills.
It doesn't give the same feeling people who work and save get. Like thinking watching porn is the same as having sex with a woman. Without the feeling it isn't close to the same thing
@@anthonyw7237 I get your point but your analogy would apply if comparing the experience of owning photos/videos of a watch to that of owning an actual, physical watch. But the comparison here is between two actual, physical watches. The Clean fake Rolex is a substantial, high quality watch that closely rivals the Rolex in appearance, fit and finish down to tiny details. Is it a Rolex? No. But for $500 It’s an impressive watch and for many who cannot possibly afford to drop $11,000 on a watch, a high quality fake Rolex is an awesome option.
I just wrote a huge check to pay off my house. I am out of money to pay for a Rolex. Super clone is more in my price range.
Haha! Good story!!! Your channel will reach 10K soon. Well deserved
Hi , great content Chris 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰
Thanks for the great comments. I agree, when the shop owners treat you like crap it just isn't worth it, for any item, even the most authentic of items. I have had some of those experiences lately and just walk away. Even though I wanted the item, the treatment wasn't worth spoiling the experience
I purchased my replica because over the last few years, in Spain, I have been mugged three times, specifically for my watch. The real one is under lock and key, in the UK. It's ironic that the watches cost less than the Ray Ban sunglasses I was wearing, which were authentic! I actually get pleasure from my replica, because it looks and feels like the original, but carries none of the risk. It's not really any different than the super rich having replica jewellery made to wear, whilst keeping the original in a safe deposit box. I think I'm justified in wearing my Rolex clone, simply because I actually own the original.
Always good to make to home alive! Stay safe my friend!
Where did you get your replica? I have a couple of genuine Rolex’s. But London has gone crazy now too, not worth it anymore. Considering getting a really good clone to wear around and not be too worried about it. Cheers 👍🏻
I never bought a Rolex for the exact reason you mention. It’s a magnet for muggers. They don’t know it's a clone and personally I don’t want to be severely beaten up because I was “showy” with jewelery.
stay safe and well buddy.
@@Aaro578 I bought it from a beach vendor! 🤣
did you check the crown engraving on the sapphire crystal to compare?
Did you get any box with it or a certifikat?..
I've unfortunately bought 2 replicas, one was a Cartier in NYC ($30) and another GMT Master from China ($100). Both looked and worked great, but both got fog on the underside of the crystal after wearing them for a while. In each case it was a waste of money and the right thing to do would be to buy a reputable brand like Seiko or Citizen if you want somthing solid in the lower price range.
It's not always necessarily about looking richer than you are. I live in London (UK) and I don't wear anything over 1k, otherwise there is a very real risk of getting it stolen especially at night. A fake would enable people to wear a perfect replica without being too scared to lose the real one.
I guess I'd have to say that a thief could obviously be fooled as well thinking they're getting the real thing and the victim could be injured in the process.. probably just doesn't pay to wear either at all, and that's a shame. I was in London last month and have to say it seems safer than NYC, where I used to live.@@F-xe1gt
I’ve had replica’s for years and they ALL still work well and keep very accurate time!
The horror stories of them being unreliable and inaccurate is simply not true and plain old scaremongering, probably by those that have paid huge sums for genuine ones and don’t like the idea of people being able to buy something that looks identical for a fraction of the price!
If a replica does stop working you throw it away and buy another rather than pay £650 for a service which is what a friend has just been quoted for a service on his Omega!
Below 300$ they are "fake" not "replica". There's no decent watch for the price you paid, those are just as bad as they can be: bad movement, mineral glass crystal, brass case with a thin layer of chrome on top... Just trash stuff. You do NOT find the "good stuff" in markets in the USA or in random web sites, you need to know where to get the good ones and learn a bit before to spend.
@@ces69 let me correct you: if a rep stop working you can have it serviced too... Or learn how to do it. I now repair and service genuine multi thousands dollar watches, but I learned over (good) replicas starting from around 2014 :)
I ordered a clean factory GMT-Master II and replaced the crystal and bezel with better equality and the new DD3285 movement with a 70h reserve. If you don't care about using it as an heirloom or anything, there is no reason for going to a AD and having to spend 5k on jewelry before you can buy a genuine GMT, or going to a grey market dealer and paying a big markup.
I’ve never been asked to buy jewelry from a Rolex AD before buying a watch.
Rolex is very strict on the guidelines that they require their ADs to follow, and they would drop the AD in a heartbeat if they caught them leveraging their brand in order to sell items from another brand. Rolex also secret shops, and checks in at their ADs regularly so if their is an AD conducting this type of business, then chances are that they won’t be a Rolex AD for long, and will have to switch to being an Omega store, or something similar.
Just go into an AD if you want a watch, talk to the employee for a bit while trying on their exhibition models, stay in touch after leaving, and you’ll get a call eventually without having to buy a bunch of random stuff.
I’ve purchased a Pepsi, Starbucks, black Submariner Date, and a GMT Root Beer all from an AD, and the only other thing that I ever purchased from them was a wallet, and a ring which both came after my first two watch purchases.
@@kelbyvaldez4141 How recently did you make those purchases?
I’ve spoken to 7 different ADs in my state. They all have variation of “our waitlist is closed for GMT II” or “we don’t have a waitlist, we do have a client list.” ADs know that the watches are selling for 2-10k over retail on the grey markets. They only get a handful of the hype reference numbers, so they use them to reward their loyal and profitable customers.
If you don’t believe me, the internet is replete with similar stories.
Where did you order from
@kelbyvaldez4141 that's because it was introduced this year and now you've already established a purchase history at your AD before this. Rolex is creating scarcity right now by buying back watches like companies buying back stock.. Rolex can suck my dick before they get my money.. I'll wear my 1k super clone in stride. I'd rather save my money and save up for a Valcheron Constantine where I don't have to deal with any prepurchase bullshit while I wait until my time comes for the v4500
A friend of mine waited 2 years for a Sub from my local AD, even now he has the Sub he doesn't have the papers to make sure he doesn't flip it.
Although I was skeptical, SWISSAREX made the procedure simple and stress-free. The watch I got is great, too!
Could you make a video or summary sheet on what all the different terms and jargon is for with the replicas?
I used to work overseas for the Gov, and I would buy replicas for me and my guys. Having a nice watch is one of many tools you keep in your toolbag because it can get you out of almost any jam. Rolex name is recognized anywhere in the world, but obviously, I didn't want to potentially lose 10s of thousands of dollars. Replicas to the rescue. Personally being a watch guy, I understand the hate towards Replicas, and what they do to the watch world. But this wasn't that. I wasn't trying to feel cool or fool somebody when selling it. It served a purpose. Thats it.
Yep. As long as your are not trying to scam anyone I dont see any issue with it. If anything, reps should make genuine brands try harder to make things that cant be replicated. If your product can be replicated for a 10th of the price you charge and thousands of people are happy with them then you should re-evaluate your strategy a bit.
You could achieve the same purpose with a Seiko. Everybody knows Seiko and you felt guilt free wearing one.
@speedmaster001 Def not. Seiko is great, but doesn't carry anywhere near the same weight as Rolex. You can't trade a Seiko for a car if needed. You can't stake a Seiko for multiple thousands of dollars in cash if needed. Again, Seiko are great watches, but objectively don't have anywhere near the same clout or value as Rolex. I don't feel any guilt wearing replicas in a case where you may need to abruptly part ways with. That's just basic common sense. I'd rather lose the $300 on my wrist than $10k.
@@chadgraber4575 I beg to differ. There is no imitation nor look alike is better than the original. A FAKE is a Fake. I own multiple watches and wear the type of watch specific to the activity and places I go. I wear formal Swiss dress watches for formal occasions, my Omega Speedmaster Broad Arrow GMT as a daily, Seiko SSK GMT for hikes, Certina DS Podium in rose gold chronograph for parties, etc. But I definitely will not wear replicas or fakes and that’s the end of it.

Watch collector for 30 yrs and I have been buying reps for over 10 yrs and I feel fine (I tell people and colleague) ! I had paid off my mortgage than wasting money buying gens at grey prices where people profit from me. This hobby used to be geeky now everyone wants to flex on Insta. It kills the hobby. Buying reps opens up a huge level playing field where everyone can enjoy the design without taking a mortgage on it.

This „offended and storm off“ tactic seems to be relatively common. Had the same experience twice when buying a bag and shoes in Vietnam.
It needs to stop haha. Thanks for watching!
At this same market I had a lady hit me and say "you're a bad man" for my initial counter offer on some dumb little thing. Ultimately she ended up accepting something within like $2US of that price haha.
People often buy super fakes to leave around the house in case of theft to throw off criminals. I also know people who wear fakes going out certain places, and they leave their real ones at home in case they get robbed. Keep in mind that it's becoming more dangerous in the US. I live in a rich area, and my car got broken into, and some high-end shops got hit. Cops don't care anymore, and I can see the need for this, but I never wear or use fake products.
Yep American cities are starting to look like Brazil I don’t even wear watches in Chicago anymore .
so, i am looking for a super fake in either a GMT or Daytona. what is the best place online to get one?
Great Vid! Well done and thank you for sharing your story.
This video is incredibly well done with a lot of information. Really shows that you did your homework which very few peopleon youtube do about this topic. THe fake you had in Your hand in vietnam is an outdated one with aclone of the previous generation 3186 movement, which isnt as smooth as the current 3285 one. These fishy vendors also buy not from factories themselves so their purchasing price of the watch is probably very simmilar to what an end consumer would pay if he bought one online (~500$), so its pretty impossible to get a good deal on them in an in-person store.
If the clean bezel color matched your "gen", then you don't have a gen... The bezel color is the absolute #1 tell on the Clean factory pepsi's. It looks like brick red in the sun, which is why I only wear it at night.
nope, did you ever owned a GMT (or just worn few)? There's like 3 grade of red (and blue) on the pepsi gen, and they changes accordingly to the production year, and that's true even for the CF replicas (V1, V2, V3)... so you would see two gen with no matching colors and so you could compare a gen with a CF rep and found the exact match color (depending of the production as said) like in this case. The bezel color is the least thing to check to identify a clone VS a gen.
excellent video, great story telling!
Wow I really love how this video turned. Good man there
I've purchased several replica watches, and agree the quality is pretty impressive. My latest one was a John Mayer Yellow Gold Daytona, which the seller re-plated with a Genuine-matching 18K gold. Apart from the weight difference from not being SOLID gold, I doubt anyone would be able to spot it as a fake. As far as how I feel about it... I just love the look, and I think Rolex the company and the Rolex AD's are as big of scammers, as the replica makers. If China can make these watches so convincing for pennies on the dollar, then WHY should I pay the exorbitant prices for a genuine watch? And don't get me started on the gray market prices for Rolex... 😂
Eventually when you're trying to sell off these clone watches one day...the resale value is Zero..many fake watch owner's told me that these watches won't last very Long..😢

Thank you for being serious about it. I've been going through CZcams video's of people joking about fake and real watches. I want to be educated when it come to watch buying.
Hi CB, I ran across you channel and I just want to tell you that your content is very good. You are absolutely correct about the multiple levels of replica watches and the different price points. Calling them replicas sounds so much better than fakes, and for you to get the service you got from the Vietnamese street vendor is to be expected. Remember he is selling as many "Fakes" as he can so his integrity and professionalism does not surprise me one bit. As a watch enthusiast I own many real pieces and like you I want to see how close the replicas can come to the real deal. In your example, I want to point out to you and your viewers that yes the CLEAN model with those CLEAN stickers currently is the very best clone, however they revamp and have newer versions each year. Version 3 is the latest and the difference is quite shocking. Your street vendor would not open up the back because he has Version 2 and how I am sure of that is when I watched your video and you move the crown out to the first position and change ONLY the hour marker did you notice how the GMT hand (the red needle) kept shanking when you were moving the hour hand? The hour hand movement is designed for us to change the date quicker instead of going all the way around. In the Version 3 the GMT needle stays firmly in place without any wiggling. And if they opened up the back the Version 3 is a 1:1 replica of the internal stamped items. Of course Im sure the materials may differ but the 3285 and all the other stamped items are in the same place! I just returned from a part of Asia and they sold Version 3 to me for $550.00 USD, after lots of negotiations. If you saw it you would buy one just for informational purposes for your viewers. Again, keep up the great videos as they are really informative and to the point. Thank you
what country did you buy your vers 3 ,please . thanks
That's a video of his genuine, I'm 99% sure. No way they'd let him video it in the market stall....
Usually these places don't allow us to film anything. However Im not sure if he had a hidden camera and he was talking the entire time. Are you suggesting he is faking it?

same thing happened with sneakers. resellers trying to get 3x retail prices on shoes that are knockoffs
When I first got back into watches, I came across the reddit community around the replicate watches. I did consider buying a super clone (though I didn't), and there are tons of really good vendors online that you can buy from for affordable price tiers. I would have to imagine that the guy you dealt with likely bought the watch from some other source and not the actual clean factory which is probably why the price was so high. The super clones are getting more and more convincing every year, though from what I understand, its not uncommon for the factories to bake in some kind of flaw that makes it easy to know that its a fake if you know what you are looking for. Some of them do this deliberately as a kind of calling card. Honestly, I kind of wish some of these factories would make their own watch designs because they clearly have the skill. I suppose they just are not likely to make the same kind of money off of selling their own watches vs some replicas.
Interesting…
$600 is Not “So high!”
@@ces69 it is compared to buying from the factory or one of the online vendors.
first time in capitalism eh?
The real interesting market, though, IMO, are the homage smaller brands. Often they take a basic Seiko or ETA movement and drop it in the clone as it's cheaper than the premium movement. So is it real? Well, about as "real" as all of the other companies that use the same movements and have huge markups. Basically they are superclones but have their own brand name on it instead. San Martin for instance, comes to mind. It's an obvious clone, but not branded as such, so it's OK? lol.
My issue with Rolex is that they're just way overpriced compared to their competition (Omega, Breitling, etc.) While I certainly get their appeal, IMO, there's a TON of watches (not fakes) that are as good (if not better) than Rolex at much more realistic prices.
Buy (for example) an IWC, and you significantly reduce drawing attention from the nefarious types 'cause most of 'em probably never heard of IWC, LOL...
They don't have competition such a rest down because those name brand watches you just spoke of. You can walk into a store and buy you cannot do that with a Rolex sooooooooooo Rolex has no competition. They are over priced for a reason because it takes one year to make one watch learn some facts before speaking like a poor uneducated sheep.
That CLEAN sticker was superb. Nice entertainment. 😅
Haha thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed the video 😃
great presentation. you are a good narrator.
Love this and love your content and instagram account. I would buy one of the AAA ones purely out of interest and do the comparison.
$600 is actual their bottom price. I bought a clone in Pattaya, Thailand from an actual watch store with real watches, like seiko and Oris, and the guy only deals with high end replicas(under the table). I bought the submariner for $600, it was 904L steel and almost indistinguishable from my actual real one I had but what you said about the crown and movement is correct. that's only the thing that gave it away because I'm telling you it was literally indistinguishable from the real one, except mine is a no date so I couldn't mix them up, lol, even how it wears and weighs. It also ran 20 seconds fast a day so I gave it to some Thai guy who had helped me out with a few things around town. He's was pretty happy with it.
How did you know it was 904L steel? Was it printed on the bracelet (next to wear it said genuine swiss made 🤣)

Yes because I'd be more than happy to buy the real thing at it's regular MSRP but I refuse to pay 10 to $15,000 more than what it originally cost and even the suggested retail is way way too much in all reality for what you were getting I mean honestly I own seven or eight vehicles and didn't spend that much for all of them lol
You own seven _or_ eight vehicles? Does that feel similar to having seven or eight children?
@@eustab.anas-mann9510 honestly I would have to say no I don't have any kids the vehicles only want stuff every now and then crotch goblins on the other hand want stuff daily all the time 24/7 so I would have to say crotch goblins are much more costly
and the "original price" when the GMT-II was sold in like the late 60s (I don't actually know if it came out earlier than that, but still) was about $2500 in today's money. An expensive watch but not unreasonable for someone who wants a nice heirloom piece that they wear everyday. I mean I've spent more than $2500 on cell phones in the last few years, as I'm sure many other commenters have. I'd 100% pay it for a watch that I know would be buy-it-for-life, and I wouldn't feel bad at all about wearing it everyday. $10,000? $20,000? No way.

My new watch from SWISSAREX is fantastic! I've had several praises on how realistic it appears. I'd really suggest looking at their choices.
SWISSAREX has become my go-to for high-quality replica watches. Their selection and customer service are excellent.
great video. I did buy a replica Breitling 10 years ago in Hong Kong. Similar story as you, I went to a recommended person. They should me some cheap copies, I said no I wanted the real one. Finally, they showed me a really nice one and asked me to come back in a few days for the real one. I must say I have compared the replica to the real one and unless you are a watch expert, you wouldn't know. I am not a collector and I would not buy one again in the future I prefer to have the real one but the reason I bought it was because I always admired a Breitling and knew I could never afford a real one. At the end of the day, it tells time and works the same as the real one. 10 years later never had an issue.
One day I will be able to afford a real one.
i want to buy a super clone rolex, do you know where can i buy ? thanks
I have a lot of super clones. Love them!
Where do you buy them from?
Good video. I agree.
I bought three homage watches from China, to see which one I would save up for (a Speedmaster, a Yachtmaster and a BB Chrono), it’ll eventually be a BB Chrono, as I just like the color combo best.
Thank you for sharing! The BB Chrono is a great piece and hope you’re able to pick up a genuine one soon!
Do you know what factory this is from?
Whats a best place to buy a superclone Rolex GMT 2 pepsi and patek nautilus 5711?
I can source you one from the factory let me know if you're still interested.
Where to buy super clone
SWISSAREX offers excellent customer service. My queries were promptly answered, and they made the purchasing procedure simple.
the other scary part is that you can take the superfake to a jeweler who will go in and refine the watch to scare you further.
curious how much is to " refine" the watch?
HAHA...NO reputable jewelry store keeper, jeweler or goldsmith is going to "refine" a replica watch especially a Rolex...unless, he/she is just sketchy themselves. Remember, it's not a car, it's a timepiece. Cheers!
@@genesultry6447 You've missed his point.
@@RJ-ez4ne Service, regulation, waterproofing, silencing the rotor, changing the crystal, spring tension on the bezel etc etc.
A lot of jewellers and watch makers are grateful for the work.
@@CZcamsDepressesMewhat's the usual cost for that
Kudos to the owner of the store for throwing you out! Well Done Mr. Store Owner!
Cheers
He has a point here. Don't be too cheap ok? Yes he was unprofessional but you low balled him and he has to eat too. But he could have thrown you out in a nicer way.
@@speedracer2111 we're talking about a merchant selling fake rolexes. he can eat just fine selling items that arent counterfeit or fake
At least he gave you a price. Rolex would just laugh at you. Even if the clone was 95% of quality of original. It's only 10% the price. Bargain.
So how long does those fake last? months? Or years?
I'm wondering the same, some say if you take good care if it and get it serviced it can last many years.
Super clones are just great. I have fake Batman I wear all the time for couple of reasons. I keep my genuine Rolex in the safe and it’s a good investment watch. I don’t have to worry about scratching it or getting mugged. And for all the practical purposes clone is as good as the original except running at -4 instead of +2 seconds a day. I can live with that.
What website ?!
Where did you get your replica? I have a couple of genuine Rolex’s. But London has gone crazy now too, not worth it anymore. Considering getting a really good clone to wear around and not be too worried about it. Cheers 👍🏻
@@Aaro578 I’m not sure if mine counts as Super Clone but it is a good clone for £700 with Swiss Movement. I’m a bit reluctant to make recommendation because I don’t know what is the variation in their quality control. But I’m happy with mine. Browse Watch Gallery Hub. And yea, I live in London as well
How do you know that you won't get mugged for wearing a fake?! Muggers are going to say, 'oh sorry, I thought it was the real McCoy - sorry about me stabbing you?!'
You might get mugged all the same. The financial loss might not be big, but you could still get seriously hurt and traumatized im the process. Just saying.
A clone on your wrist might not be so bad when you are walking in a public place. Secure knowing the real watch is in the watch pouch in your pocket..
The clone will still make you a robbery target, possibly at gun point, so I’d still not flash it around in public.
Great video. I feel the same way. Its worth the wait! I have tried a fake rollie, but its what yourself feels. No one else cares what watch u have but you!
Can someone anyone recommend a reputable clean site for 1.1 clone Rolexes please?
I can get you one. Takes some time, but I can source you a superclone of pretty much any recent model. Let me known if you're still interested.
Brilliantly done. Buy or no buy. Bad sales people shouldn't be supported. Personally i'd go Homage before i go fake, then save for the real watch. Keep up the great content. Cheers.
Homage is definitely the way to go. I’m glad you enjoyed this video! Thanks again 😃
Totally agree
@@ClickyBezel Homage is still stealing a design that one company invested massively in. Unfortunately most of the best known watch brands have been using each other's designs for decades and companies like Rolex practically encourage it.
At the end of the day it's just not very cool to wear a copy except if you're doing it unwittingly or (maybe) if it's a fairly generic design.
Would you drive a cheap Ford that looks identical to a Ferrari F40?
This will always be a controversial topic and there will always be different opinions about it. My personal standpoint is that I draw the line at fakes. Fake is lying and deception.
I have several homages of brands like San Martin, Cronos and Steinhart.
Yes, Islander is also more or less to be considered as a kind of homage. But it differs from the other by being an improvement of the original.
I would buy a super fake before I bought an original, absolutely. If it had the same water resistance and the same looks that made me want the original to begin with, why not save $10k. I just don’t have any desire to own a watch that expensive anymore, nor pretend that I do. I think the super fakes are fine until the person wearing it or selling it tries to pass it off as real. It would be impossible to trust a person once they pull that move.
fakes dont got the same water resistance, thats like where they fail the hardest
Dude if you offer me less than half of the listed price I'm snatching my product, & may walk off too 😂
I one day hope to buy a Pepsi GMT from my AD.
If the super clones are so good they are hardly discernible from the real thing, does that mean the quality is very much in par as well?
Obv no white gold indices or hands, probably not platinum on the bezel. Not solid gold links on the gold models.
Mechs on top clones are 1-1 (except the free sprung balance which is very expensive to replicate. Also the jumping hour mech on the GMTs is a weak point but can be swapped for OE.
However once serviced the replica mechs are very good indeed inside Rolex levels for accuracy and as the watch itself including a service does not cost what one service from Rolex will is it an actual arguement?
I always wonder is anyone actually claiming a real street value used Rolex 126610LV at say £14k is better value than my VSF 126610LV on a well known rep watch forum was at £430, serviced, regulated and water proof tested? Picked up in person, no postage, no scary payment method. We met in a coffee shop, I held the watch before I paid.
My boss has a real 116610LN (ie a maxi case black date sub) and to our 50 y/o eyes under normal light you'd not be able to pick the fake out if someone said one was fake.
The weight, the edges, the feel, all the same.
he answered that when he was looking at the fake, did you not pay attention
@@fontyyywhere
@@oaktree1628 where what? Just Google replica watch forum! We're not hard to find!
I’ve been thinking about getting a replica, because I’m on a waitlist at a couple Rolex ADs but people have told me that they are never going to call me, and I’ll never get one unless I pay +50% on the grey market
if you just want a submariner, gmt, or daytona. Is not worth buying a real one imo. Honestly since I got my first rep I started questioning life and how everyone has been brainwashed into thinking a stainless steel watch could be worth $20k+ when people in china are making the same watch for $500 minus the waterproofing and refinement quality under magnification. The crown can sometimes be gritty, but just get it cleaned and lubed like any other watch and youre good to go.
@@dolphin4788 nearly all luxury items are just that marked up and status symbols
nice work
600 is the going rate, I got a sub date and it’s appearance was spot to the genuine with minor flaws you mentioned and I got it for $600 but after wearing it for two weeks it kept 20 fast a day and seem not to be able to regulated to cosc standards so I just gave it away. These new clones are nice but they still don’t hold up to a real deal. But they are water proof and I used when diving and held up fine.
$568
You literally know where to get them online from your reddit research. Tf you buying irl for?
I was already in Vietnam and was curious to see if they have these available at Ben Thanh Market. I wasn’t in the market for a super fake so I figured why not? Lol. I hope you enjoyed the video!
Im getting a CF Rolex Explorer 39mm.. i never wear my Gen Explorer because it brings too much unwanted attention as of late! Surprisingly i do wear my Gen Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra alot and people dont really notice it.. I will happily wear my Rep Explorer knowing my real one is safe at home.
Nice video. I like you. Straight forward. Friendly. knowledgeable. I did but a fakearoonie... I got a 124060 off the grey market. My AD sucks, period. Needless to say I don't want to walk around all the time with the real one so I got a replica. It makes me feel more secure to go out in public alone. As you say the rep is very good and I don't feel like it is cheap feeling. Even the timegrapher is very very good.
Very entertaining story! I would never buy a fake brand name for even $20. They are thieves. Fun video 😀
Definitely ruining the watch enthusiast world but is unavoidable across all luxury industries. Thanks for watching!
@@ClickyBezel How does it ruin it? How does a $20,000 watch vs $1,000 watch correlate with each other?
Can't buy at ad even if you want to. Better to get replica rather than buying from low life resellers that jack up the already extremely high price. Let the stupid be stupid and the smart stay with their money 😁
Very noble of you to protect those poor billion dollar companies
@jerrylee3887 the movement is superior.. but far from 19k added value superior.
the effects you added drove me crazy
No more effects in my recent videos. Learned from the past 🤷♂️
You single handedly changed my whole mind on replicas. None for me now.
Great story. In the early 2000's, I purchased a replica 5 digit Submariner in Chinatown, Manhattan. I did my research, learned how to find the best replica and how to negotiate. After rejecting a few bad ones, a very convincing replica with an automatic movement was offered to me for $270. After some serious haggling, where the seller walked away a number of times, we finally agreed on $70. I wore it for over a decade, until I bought a Rolex Submariner from an AD last year. The replica fooled everyone who saw it, even friends who owned luxury watches and tried it on. I never had an issue wearing the replica. However, I have now "seen the light" and will never purchase another replica, nor wear this one again. We live and learn. Cheers!
Amazing. Great story! I’m glad you ended up with one from the AD in the end. It must’ve felt amazing. Thanks for sharing and glad you enjoyed this video!
For those people who said they are cheap fakes or will never buy one, these people have not seen the super clones in person. In fact, no one would know you are wearing a replica just by looking at it. Yes, they are that good. BTW, I would never buy anything from a rude sale person.
I can source you one from the factory let me know if you're still interested.
Yes I have. I bought a James Cameron deepsea sea dweller edition and I feel fine about it. There's no way I could ever afford to get a real one so why not? I love the watch and would do it again.
It’s apparent that bro never dealt with counterfeit store owners before ;)
For sure you'll feel like an impostor with a replica, but the bank account will be happy😂.
I buy reps before I buy a genuine. It's actually a good idea for myriad reasons, especially living in a crime ridden shithole like Los Angeles. The rep goes on the wrist when I'm in the city and the genuine is for work, family, and nicer areas.
For me, I've just purchased one... the full intention that one day I will have a real one.
I personally see it as a bit of test drive to see If it's something Im going to wear in the future and If anyone asks, it's fake.
If I did purchase real in the future, Id probably put the real one in a safe for special occasions and wear the fake as a daily.
From where?
Fun and thanks man.
Thanks for heads up…..
Any time!
600 is good for what u have mentioned. I would love to see one of these superfakes beside the real deal. I got a pepsi 2 years ago and sold it the next day. I just couldnt pass up 7k profit.... I wish i had held it for a year as i could have gotten more. I now have a Rootbeer instead.
You turning that deal down sounds too good to be true.
I assume the fake was on the right when you show both watches. The one on the right has more yellow in the red... that is, more bright red and less burgundy red. Also the teeth on the bezel on the right were more rounded off. I don't know which is real and which is fake, but they do not look the same.
Keep fake Rolex in my car just in case I get robbed lol
4:49 the magnifier that shows 17 is blue...
Thats what gives away these fakes usually, takes like 10 seconds to notice it.
That being said, I'm not opposed to the fakes, they look and feel incredible, and for the money, the craftsmanship is kind of worth it.
The scary thing about buying a 'super fake' is that if it's a scam, you can't go to the authorities saying that you got ripped off while trying to buy a fake (insert luxury brand here).
If you buy from Clean, they actually have warranty on it lol
@@xianglongjiang5747do you know where to buy from the clean factory online?
