I'm just curious to know how many brothers would wear a replica Rolex Watch rather than a real one. Here is what sparked me to bring up this convo...
In my middle years, I think I have gotten to a point where, I still value the best quality in everything, yet I am not willing to get something if it will exhaust everything financially that I have worked for (cars, suits, etc.)...just call me a minimalist...
Still, I was watching a video of this brother who confirmed that a Rolex watch (compared to other brands) could be a good bargaining chip in the case that you are stuck somewhere and are in a bind. Almost everywhere around the world, the Rolex Brand is well recognized. Worse case scenario, you get stuck somewhere with no access and thus the watch might just come into play (like the scene with Michael Douglas in "The Game" when he was stuck in Mexico)...
There was one website in particular that I checked out. The watches cost around $500 (give or take). There were nothing but positive reviews from the customers. Even though they were not the real thing, the customers confirmed that they still operated better than your typical watch and they really did look like the real thing. I remember in my younger days, I brought a replica Movado watch to a jeweler. He was absolutely clueless until he looked inside.
