Yep. This. I totally get it. I think vintage Rolex is the epitome of classic watch design. I would absolutely love a 1016, but I'm never ever going to be able to afford it. I'd absolutely consider buying a fake/replica/whatever you want to call it. Not only because I could never afford a real one, but also because I couldn't wear it in good conscience in case it got damaged.
And this is of course not an image thing. I don't care what other people think about anything I do - it would be for me and me only.

I think the case for fakes/replicas is pretty strong with watches tbh.
If you are primarily interested in the design/style of the watch rather than the brand itself and it still performs the basic function of telling the time to a similar degree of accuracy (I.e. not that great compared to a quartz)
