Genuine fake Rolex. Includes box & papers!
Discussion
cks.Undoubtedly fakes in the 90’s and from tiny street vendors in less salubrious surroundings are just horrible with wonky dials and logos, cheap bracelets and errors - some of the ones now are so incredible in their detail and accuracy I’m always surprised and thinking to myself ‘why don’t these people just start their own watch company’.

Ok. Let's get back to my question. What's the difference between someone posting a picture of an expensive watch they own and someone wearing a fake. Are they both just showing off?
Both....Here's one I bought to see if the other was viable as a daily (47mm with a crown bridge)
It's not always about the exact appearance
and I still wear the Getat I think it’s a bigger nobber thing when they take a pic of their watch against their car steering wheel badge background - and that’s the photos of the real ones.
No issues with wrist pics but it’s when they’ve gone overboard with the background it’s tragic - it’s like middle aged white dude middle management equivalent of the Instagram attention seeking fitness girls.

Have to agree, I've noticed pics like this on a few watch forums and it is always a Porsche or BMW badge in the background!No issues with wrist pics but it’s when they’ve gone overboard with the background it’s tragic - it’s like middle aged white dude middle management equivalent of the Instagram attention seeking fitness girls.

I have a real Rolex GMT2 and when in Thailand bought a fake one so I could wear the design out whilst not worrying about it getting stolen/damaged
Hmm - So if you go somewhere where you expect to be robbed, you draw attention to yourself and end up mugged? I'd prefer to wear a plastic watch if I ventured into such places. Edited by Pommy on Monday 26th November 11:22

Unusual approach.
If it looks like a Rolex (possibly now becoming a bit 'common', IMHO), I'd be surprised if a person on the look out for a 'Rolex' to steal is going to notice that it's a fake (unless it looks really naff, in which case it's not fooling anyone) before they do whatever they intend to do to relieve you of it. Why not just wear a cheaper 'normal' watch.
I wonder how many owners of the Chrysler 300s you see with Bentley badges etc on them also wear fake Rolexes. Just wondering.
