·B bsmitraI dont understand the economics of it if its not high end and very rare. Making a good fake is costly so return should be outsized. Thats what economics would have us believe.

·B bsmitraI dont understand the economics of it if its not high end and very rare. Making a good fake is costly so return should be outsized. Thats what economics would have us believe.
So why take the trouble for making this mid range range Rolex case, why not Nautilus case or Patek/Rolex moonphase etc?
Just a rhetorical question.
Thank you and appreciate saving me from an act of foolishness.
Even the Casio $7 watches have fakes going around.
The more I look at this one, the more just about everything looks wrong. A clearly fake caseback, a movement that isnt made by Rolex, a dial that isn't installed anywhere near straight and looks kinda rough. I almost wonder if this is a franken of a FAKE watch!

Faking low end watches attract much less scrutiny and it is much easier to pass these as genuine.

·I've often wondered this, yet you see it all the time across various manufacturers. A few weeks ago someone posted a fake Tudor two-tone day date. Who in their right mind would go through the effort to fake that watch?
At least a Two-Tone Tudor you can spend a few hundred to resell for a thousand or two. In the Casio case, it is... sell for $7?

·Rolex bubblebacks were the thing in the 90's, then the shooting star hit the ground. Haven't seen or heard much of them for decades, does anyone collect them now?
