What Are The Differences Between A Rolex Replica Watch Versus Original?


Is an original watch better than a Rolex replica?

Rolex replica does not have the same high quality as an original watch but for many users it is good for occasional wear to that special meeting, occasion or party

An original will last longer than a Rolex replica but many owners fear theft of their watch and therefore do not wear it. Their glass is also better and more scratch resistant – but the better Rolex replica have sapphire glass which is quite scratch resistant.

A replica Rolex is water proof to a few meters but the originals may be water proof much deeper. Many users would never dive with their Rolex anyway for fear of losing it under water.

If the watch is “gold plated” then it may fade away over the years or when used in harsh environments – while a solid gold watch never fades. However, a solid gold original cost 10.000 USD and up. It is possible to get Rolex replica that have a thicker gold coating so it lasts much longer. These will cost up to $900 USD or, 2-3 times the normal price for a normal replica watch.

If you buy a gold watch you should not use it in saltwater or if you sweat lot since the acid in the sweat will eat and corrode the gold – no matter if it is an original or fake. The gold becomes dark and dull to look at.

Of course, an original watch will be solid gold and will still last a life time with daily use but in order to preserve the best possible look then use it in normal conditions.

You can have 1 original – or, for the same price have 20 rolex replica watches – one for each style of clothes or occasion.

An original has worldwide warranty and meant to last for decades with daily - while a Rolex replica only have limited warranty and is expected to last only a few years with daily use.

Buying a fake watch is easier for those just starting their career, with debt to pay off and who still is expected to have a certain business look – while being on a shoestring budget. Original watch owners tend to be older who have amassed some fortune.

So, should you go for an original or a rolex replica ? It is really very dependent upon your intended use, financial circumstances and lifestyle, too. Surely, a real Rolex is better quality – but at a cost that prohibits most people from owning one – or using it for fear of theft and loss.
