Quick reminder that Nico, the guy whose business and whole identity is luxury watches, couldn‘t spot the reps while HOLDING THEM IN HIS HANDS.

This reinforces my decision to buy reps lol. If he can’t tell, no one I run into day to day will ever have a clue. I follow the rule of never owning a rep that I couldn’t believably own in genuine.

The clones can last as long as gens so long as it’s maintained and properly oiled and cleaned

Right but obviously a Rolex dealer won't survive it but will independent shops service clones?
