I have tina vineyards...and thats what i feel on the inside when i put them next to my paulson vineyards..
This is my exact feeling on replicas. No matter how good they may be, I’d know inside that they’re not the real thing and therefore they just wouldn’t spark any joy.
Car go vroom?
The key is to own both. One cake for having. One for owning. I’m trying to decide what I want to order in addition to a blue Patrimony next round. And to see what heavier options they have…
I’ll admit, I considered ordering a Milgauss rep just to compare it to the real thing.
I bought a Black Bay rep just to make sure I didn't get screwed over when I bought mine on the secondary market, lol. It was kinda nice to have a watch that I didn't feel too bad about beating up.

I am currently at the Inhorgenta exhibition in munich and oh boy i got to say: Citizen and Bulova got some great stuff on the way.
Not really....there is still a huuuuuuuuuuge difference between the real thing and fauxlex.
They do everything in house from raw materials and their production processes are insane and very expensive.
But that is not the real reason...+100 milo in advertising....that's where most of the money goes
I disagree on the gap between Rolex and Faulex. But I never held Rolex in much esteem to begin with. I’m not even considering a replica Rolex for myself lol.

I’m not into replica anything unless it is a “thing” that is old, out of production, or extremely hard to get…something that anyone seeing it would expect it to be a replica.
I don’t own Tina replica chips but I don’t see this as analogous to watches. The poker chip world is incredibly tiny and any enthusiast that would even know what the real thing was to want to buy it would also know what a fake looked like.
Fake watches are produced to deceive. Rolex is the most known brand so it’s also the most well faked. Some are so good they can fool most watch enthusiasts (which outnumber chip collectors by probably 100000-1). I own a few Swiss watches but no Rolex yet. Even with the prices coming down on the secondary I won’t buy one because of the fakes. It here is exactly one model I’m interested in (an Explorer 1) and I’ll wait until I can get one from an AD because of the fakes.

LOOK. AT. THIS!
Funfact: This Watch ist called Accutron DNA Casino.
Bulova stated that the 4 colors (each limited to 100pcs worldwide) are inspired by casino chips. Do what you want with this information... But this watch is just outstanding!

Picked me up a new piece!
Chinese or Swiss? If it’s Chinese how do you like it?
Swiss.

I am currently very impatiently waiting for my M.A.D.1 “Lucky Clover” to be delivered. Funky but I love things that are a bit different.
Better odds for me!

I entered the lottery because I will probably always enter their lotteries but I'm not 100% if I would purchase or not. I really wish I would have my Lucky Clover in hand before the drawing but thats not happening.
Come to WAB next week and you can try it on. The strap is oddly short and it’s not particularly heavy for a 48mm watch.
now is your chance to get a unicorn...

That is beyond a unicorn. I really can't believe that he never even took it out of the original plastic though (at least from the photos you see). I can't imagine having done so much to get that watch, everything is customized for him, and then never even wear it once? Not even at home to look at it? Wouldnt surprise me if PP was a little pissed off that they made him one now.
Why the surprise? Collectible cars don’t get driven. Watches don’t get worn. Designer bags sit in their boxes. Toys in original packaging. Booster cards in original wrap.
All PP cares about is everyone associating their name with the creation of this piece.

Guess how many miles this has on it before scrolling too far down.
I haven't opened the link yet, but I'll guess < 100
