Anyone have any experience with fake Rolexes?
What's the minimum spend for a decent ChiRolex, one that would look real (or at least not obviously phoney) from six feet away or so?

When the watch isn't being worn, the other signal that it's fake is that it has a transparent window on the back, which is fun to look at but I guess too gauche for Rolex to do with their real watches.
If you want to use it as a watch instead of a fashion accessory there's a few other downsides. Compared to a real Rolex the self winding is drastically worse, it'll stop ticking pretty quickly if you don't move it. Changing the date with the crown is also kinda janky and it probably wouldn't last 5 minutes if I tried to use it as an actual dive watch.
I think the higher quality reps are $100+
Most non-watch people aren’t looking or noticing one’s watch enough to form an impression of it. The only way I’d identify a watch as possibly being a Rolex is if someone went out of their way to show it said ‘Rolex’ although then I’d assume it was fake due to the effort they’d just spent making me notice.
If the goal is to impress people, it’s not going to have an effect unless they’re a watch person or watch adjacent person.
Watches should be worn for personal enjoyment, not to impress those who change their opinion of others based on whether they have a Rolex or not.
Who doesn't care wouldn't care if you have fake Rolex or real Citizen.
Whose who care/knows would know what you have fake Rolex.
Paying $300+ for a fake which looks like a real one? Why?
Never had a real/fake Rolex, but my AU1065-58E were the point of conversation a couple of times.
