Given that this site has helped me greatly in the past, I wanted to try this question.
I've loved watches since I was a kid 70 years ago. The one I would love to own but just cannot justify $20,000 or more is a Rolex.
Lately, there have been 'SuperClones' that are so good even some jewelers can't tell them apart. However, the problem is that probably well over 90% of the sites you see on line are a scam.
Does anyone know of a site that actually will sell and ship you a super clone?
Thanks,
Ron

I think it's best if you can find out where to buy in person.

If you get caught, with a fake Rolex that you might have to pay a fine and lose the watch.

Only if you represent it as genuine and try to profit from it.

I don’t think there’s a law prohibiting ownership of anything fake. Suppose you want to collect fake Rolexes?

Not illegal to own a fake, it's illegal to sell.

Illegal to sell as genuine.

Do you carry a cellular telephone? If so, what do you need a watch for other than vanity?

Someone who wants a Rolex doesn't want something just to tell time. While it's very accurate for a mechanical watch the accuracy isn't better than a cheap quartz watch.

Then you are saying that it is vanity?

And by the way, the only jewelry I wear is a class ring. Why? Vanity.

I don't know as I don't want a Rolex but for sure it's not just to tell time. I don't even like the look of the Rolex.

About 25 years ago, I decided to treat myself to a "vanity" watch. I looked at a number of them, including Rolex, Omega, Audemars, Tag Heuer, Omega, IWC, etc. In the end I decided on a Breitling Chronomat. I still wear it, although not every day. It's been serviced several times for CLA, and it keeps superb time, while not quite as accurate as my quartz Seikos and Citizens.

I still see the ads for the fake Rolexes. If you're wearing a fake, no one knows --- but you do.

In the ‘60s I wore a watch. A cheap watch. I broke a lot of them so I got a pocket calculator with a clock. Then the cell phone came along and had both.

Have not been tempted to get a watch.

But if you collect something, that’s a valid reason to get one. But it has to have value to be worth collecting.

Many years ago I had a friend who printed the Rolex catalogs. He got me a real one at tremendous discount from Rolex offices in NY. Wore it continually until my wife bought me an Apple Watch. It doesn’t get as much use now

I guess I’m a mix of old school and new school. I have a smart phone, capable of 5G, as well as a wristwatch. There are several things I need to keep track of on a timed schedule and I can glance at the wristwatch much quicker than pulling out my phone. To each his own.
