Replica watches

What style are you looking for? You can usually find a reputable brand that makes something similar to what you like.

Solid diamonds!

nice shit is nice...

I assure you the starving kids in Africa licking flies off of their eyes think the amount of money you blow on food every week is amazing and retarded.

At least I can eat the food.
Men drooling over jewelry is just weird.

I love watches, I have a couple nice watches, and I have a gshock rangeman. I wear the rangeman 95% of the time, and think about selling the other two all the time. To me, I can find other shit to spend my money on, like whores

[Ruffdaddy]

same can be said about a lot of things though... cars, car parts, shoes, clothes, the list goes on. What's the difference?

I agree there is a limit though, I'm not opposed to spending money on something nice, but within reason. I won't spend the money on a rolex or hublot or any of those watches that run multiple to tens of thousands of dollars, but a nice watch in the $1,000 to $1,500 range, I don't see an issue with if you have the money. I would say for a nice watch, $2k would be my absolute MAX if I really wanted it and had the EXTRA money to spend...

I always thought 1-2K on a watch was a lot of money...guess I'm not baller enough for the DFWM jewelry crowd.

Not always. Yes, there are plenty of decent watches out there. Hamilton, Tissot, U Boat, etc., and I like those as well, and someday maybe I'll own a couple.

Obviously there are tons of opinions on this topic and here is mine. I have several cheap Invictas, a really nice Bulova, and a really nice Panerai replica. A real Panerai is roughly $12,000. There is no chance in hell that I'd ever spend that much money on a watch, but I love the way they look. I don't even care that it keeps time or not, they are just beautiful to look at. I paid something like $250 for a decent replica of a watch that looks really good and when asked about it, which happens very rarely, I always tell the person asking that it's a replica, I'm not try8ng to impress anyone. Now that person's opinion of me may change after that is said, but I don't really care what those people think. At the end of the day it's still a good looking watch and I saved $11,750 to have it and I carry a cell phone to let me know what time it is.

Call me a poser or whatever but I wear what I want and fuck anyone that doesn't like it.

I remember seeing a quote somewhere that said something to the effect of: more people are going to think a real Rolex is a fake before assuming a fake Rolex is real. I just particularly like the way a Rolex looks other than the white Explorer.

So why bother?

I had a Yachtmaster and also got a very well-built replica of the exact same thing. I wore the fake most of the time and the real one on special occasions like going out, church, holidays, etc. The only time someone tried to call BS on it, I was wearing the real one. LOL!

That's the other thing that's funny to me. Most of the people wearing the real thing also own fakes.

Ya, it was a good investment for me. I bought a real one and was always afraid to wear it. I'm always ending up helping someone with their house or car. If I knew I was going to stay clean and not get stuck doing too much with my hands, then I'd wear the real one. It wasn't anything extravagant, just a black-faced stainless Yachtmaster.

But you could eat less expensive food...

I'm not big on jewelry, but I can appreciate the craftsmanship and precision in a high end watch. Same way I can appreciate an F1 car despite the fact that I'll never own one.

Men drooling over cars is weird to a lot of people.

If you don't want to spend the bread on the real thing don't play baller with a fake one. Like many others have said, buy something similar in style at a price you want to spend. You can get a Tag for what you would spend on a replica Breitling. Hell for a little more you can get a quartz Breitling.

Nice watches can be an investment if you buy smart. Probably one of the only hobbies you can MAKE money at. I started with a cheap $2100 Air King and flipped my way up to a $12000 Daytona.

Kinda gay, just find a nice one you like for a few hundred $.

You know how these fuckers roll.

Lots of affordable used watches out there. I have had 3 Tag-Heuer that I got used. They can all be brushed or polished back to newish condition. If you cant afford a nice watch, use your phone. All the kids are doing it.
Would you roll a Fobra?
