I know a bunch of people who collect radioactive watches & clockes.

I have one Seiko and it does have Radium markers on the dial.

When it comes to watches, I think it's all about finding a style that speaks to you. I've always been intrigued by the intricate designs and innovative craftsmanship of the replica richard mille watches. The attention to detail and the unique blend of materials used in their construction make them stand out in a crowd. While some might argue that replicas don't hold the same allure as the original, I believe that if you appreciate the artistry and design, there's nothing wrong with enjoying a high-quality replica. That being said, there are many other fantastic watch brands out there, each with its own charm and appeal. From the timeless elegance of Rolex to the rugged durability of Casio, the world of watches offers something for everyone. Whether you're looking for a watch to complement your professional attire or a stylish accessory for a night out, the options are endless.

got a fake rolex submariner coming in the mail straight from china. i did this because it is good quality for an automatic for the price and i like the look of the submariner. ill post pics and review when i get it. I know some people dont like it but im all for having a civil discussion about it. dont feel like getting flamed though for it either

That fake Rolex Submariner looks decent! It’s funny how some folks are so caught up in the real deal that they overlook how good these replicas can actually be. Sure, the crown might grind, and the cyclops could be better, but if it works for you, that’s what counts.

I had a similar experience with a replica once. People would freak out about how good it looked, and honestly, it was nice not having to worry about scratches. Those super clone watches really hold their own and can give you that luxury look without the stress of owning a real one. Who cares if it’s not "real"? Looking forward to seeing more pics.

thanks man.no matter how you slice it, its still a decent watch for the price. supposedly it has a japanese miyota movement and its super easy to take the cyclops off. i dont mind it but its the easiest way to tell if its fake. i could of got a no date sub without the date reel and cyclops but thought id take a chance. im might get another one in the future. i could pay like 4 or 450 and it would be almost impossible to tell without opening the case but im not paying that much for a fake watch. could get a great Seiko for that price

Is this your collection Hawk? Very nice, I don't wear watches myself..

Last time in Crete guys would be selling those to tourists, (they would be hanging of your hip) cant remember the figures he was hawking them for 10 or 20 euro.. I told him I had zero interest, he was harping on how nice it would look on my wrist. Never took him up on his offer, he's probably picking them up for 3 or 4 euro he had a rake of them, also turned down my offer of a free drink..

Just wondering the difference between a crap fake rolex and a good fake rolex 🤔

ive never seen a real Rolex. i took it to an old jeweler and he didnt know it was fake. there are WAY MORE fakes than real ones out there. if i saw one id assume it was fake. my buddy that knows this stuff says its a good fake. i had to broker with a chinese guy over the phone to get it. cost me $120. i guess as long as it works a few years than its worth it. that Swiss Army has been a trooper. had it 20 years about.its battery though

there are super clones out there that are basically the real deal. $1000 will get you something a dealer cant tell the difference. you need an expert.fake watches are a billion dollar industry. the other watches are real though

I like the Swiss army one, probably drawn to the strapping.
The one in the the top right hand corner also got my attention.
I'm guessing the Swiss army one gets plenty of wearing and is your favourite..

All the watches are giving different times Hawk, that would send my OCD levels through the roof lol
Billion dollars Industry I don't doubt, there's obviously a lot of fakes out there..
Hallmarks are easy too duplicate, you would think a good jeweler could tell the difference pretty rapid.

the best fake rolexes are very difficult to tell apart and are still quite expensive . i know of jewelers that have thought they had bought a real rolex with paper work etc from a customer , and taken it to be serviced at rolex and told it was fake . they should of known better but the fake ones can be that good these days. only when studying the machine markings, the way the movement flows, and opening it up can they really identify the fake . if it was real the warranty would be ended if you were to open it up.

nice watches shithawk .i like the china rolex too . i would wear it with a suit when out independent trading . for sure

Hey Hawk if some unsuspecting person offered you a few grand for it, would you be able to control yourself lol

I've seen them in Ireland along with cartier as far back as the 90s, I think back then there was a stamp under one of the links, you had to take it apart to see it..
The Chinese are great for it.
One Swiss certificate of chronometric precision coming right up....

im not gonna lie.im poor and if some idiot offered me a few grand id take it. a Rolex Submariner probably goes for 8 to 14 grand. unless you finfd one of those rare ones then your looking at $50k and upwards.honestly Rolex are a pain in the ass to deal with.to get a real one from an AD can take up to year or more.honestly id just get a Seiko and call it a day.
