    Hey guys,

    In browsing around for some new pieces, I've been coming across a lot of sites that blatantly sell replica watches.

    What strikes me is that they look like really 'good' rip off jobs.

    Do these sites post pictures of the real watch and then send something lesser and unauthentic? Or do they actually make replicas this realistic? I'm surprised to see a replica of a Mark V.

    Thanks for the feedback!

    This got a like for being the sad truth about sucky fake watch sites.

    I wish I could triple like your post.

    I f::censored::ing hate fakes. My favorite watch related video ever was of the steam roller crushing a s::censored::t load of fake Rolexes.

    Work in the import game ;) and it would blow you away at what can be faked. Big issue with medicine,s and foodstuff,s. 2% of air force ones spares were found to be fake parts. Watch a doco called Fakers they even make a fake egg at the end.:eek:

    We had entire machines faked. The videos of parts of machines being crushed are, to say the least, amusing. I do miss China. :mad:
