We've all heard of those high-end luxury brand watches like: Cartier, Piaget, Rolex,
Technomarine but because they cost many hundreds, even thousands of dollars they are simply
out of reach of most peoples budgets. Its like, should I get a second car or buy a Rolex and
for most people its clearly the second car. Let's face it, luxury watches are designed for
the rich to provide them with a status symbol they yearn for that will help feed their, in
most cases, large egos.
On the other hand, we all have human vanity and if you're the type that would like yours
massaged by such a symbol of affluence, there's a little thing called replica watches that
you might want to take a closer look at.
Replica watches provide the not so affluent with the opportunity to sport incredible
imitations of various luxury watches like: Cartier, Piaget, Rolex, and Technomarine for a
fraction of the price. On the other hand, the downside of replica watches is that in one way
it could be considered a form of stealing. Like buying bootleg copies of CDs or DVDs or
illegally downloading music from the internet. You'll have to make that call but replica
watches do borrow the copyrighted designs of the luxury watches.
Plus, the whole purpose of luxury brands is to not cater to just anyone. They are
manufactured and designed with the utmost quality with full knowledge that as a result,
their cost will be prohibitive for most people.
However, if you're ok with the whole copyright thing and your heart is set on buying replica watches; then, as the old saying goes, buyers beware. Just because its relatively dirt cheap
doesnt mean its bargain. You still need to exercise caution and wisdom before you buy.
The internet has become the home of thousands upon thousands of companies selling replica
watches which makes it rather impossible to inspect anything you purchase beforehand. Not
that you must inspect a replica watch before you buy but it certainly doesnt hurt because
even in a replica craftsmanship matters. Simple things like, does it have changeable
batteries or is it simply a toy knockoff of the original is difficult to discern in a
picture.
Omega, Cartier and Rolex are all popular replica watches today. While inspecting a
prospective replica you should verify that brand names are actually spelled correctly. An
example of this often occurs in knockoff bags, purses or shoes: Prada becomes Prada or
Chanel becomes Channel.
Another thing to remember before purchasing a replica watch is this: Are you or will you be
comfortable enough, in your own skin, to wear such a watch when friends, family or
colleagues realize that it is replica? I'm not here to judge because frankly, I partially
agree with both sides of the argument but I bring it up only, so that you are aware of the
fact that purchasing replica watches may not turn out to be the status symbol you hoped it
would be. On the other hand, it may be just the ticket youve been looking for and if so - go
for it!
