Recent discussion re fakes/clones - I’d generally agree with the sentiment that if it’s not the actual watch then it’s a bit of an odd thing.
However, with for e.g. Rolex and their sports watches - a range of watches that people can’t actually buy - I can see the point of a super-clone.
Rolex seem to have turned their GMT into a way to drive sales to the Tudor GMT, an advertising campaign rather than an available item.
I’ve considered the Tudor GMT a number of times because of this, but I don’t really want one. But a super-clone of the Rolex GMT for under a third of the price of the Tudor? I admit, it’s got a certain appeal.
