Have you bought one of those great looking Rolex/Omega fakes

Indeed. I got one of those Pagani replicas of a Rolex Milgauss on the last Amazon Prime day. It's a nice (for the £70 it cost) watch in a decent size, colour, etc. I'm not sure many people would spot that it was a copy of something else, so wouldn't be impressed.

I think it's the same with anything fake. The fake Ferrari's don't have that engine under the bonnet, but the people who own the things don't care as it's all about superficiality: their pleasure lies in deceiving others into thinking it's real and the owner basking in the (dishonest) image. It's a crazy self-deception but there you go.

On Facebook I follow a car dealer than I have sold two of my modified cars to in the past, I have noticed recently that they are posting more and more Rolex that they have taken in part exchange against cars, I do wonder how many of them are superclones, all them always have boxes and paperwork that makes me even more suspicious. There also seems to be an influx of "watch dealers" these days, new companies setting up everyday. Wonder how many of these flip superclones.
