Attack of the Super Fakes

[unreformed66]

I wasn’t aware that the Swiss once were big in the rep game

And perhaps to add another hypothesis for the prevalence of reps:
If you can have sth so close to the real thing for 1/30 of the price, you start thinking that somebody is trying to rip you off and is making a mega profit...

"Swiss Fakes" of American pocket watches are a collectible category of their own. And regardless of what that article said they were NEVER even close in quality to the genuine American products.

They are collectibles nowadays???
I foresee a bright future for some Chinese factories
Or even for our builds ....

They're collected more as a novelty or an oddity than as serious watches. No money in them, they sell for nearly nothing.

Man, builds here are amazingly close to the gens. I sometimes ask myself why they even sell at such low prices
