In Guangzhou China there is an area of many square blocks called the horological zone. Amongst every other concievable watch copy, I swear you could not spit without sliming seven thousand fake Rolex’s.

So?

The Hong Kong beltway just took a hit.

What's the big deal?

I never understood this. The people buying these watches would never be able to buy the real thing. SO they are not losing any market share! Yet they spend alot of time on thins nonsense while illegals are flooding the border.

I’ve been to NYC twice. Both times someone tried to sell me a Rolex off the street. No, I didn’t.

I’ve got a Rolex I bought on a beach in Honduras back in 2003 that I only paid $50 for........The guy originally wanted $200 for it but I talked him down. Ha! He didn’t realize who he was bargaining with until it was too late.......

I don’t know if the rule of thumb still applies, but it used to be that a real Rolex had a smooth sweep to the second hand, but fakes used cheaper quartz watch mechanisms that ticked. It was slightly ironic, because quartz watches are regarded as somewhat more accurate than sweep mechanisms.
