The Many Versions of the Shenzhen Rolex Submariner Replicas
In recent years, the term ”replica” has been co-opted by counterfeit watchmakers in an attempt to lend a veneer of legitimacy to their illicit endeavors. Originally denoting a respectful nod to classic designs through upgraded production, the word has been twisted to mask the true nature of these endeavors: producing fake watches under the guise of homage.
These counterfeiters claim they are dedicated to achieving a closer approximation to the genuine article, supposedly setting them apart from lower-tier fake producers. They would have you believe that equating their work with mere counterfeiting is an insult. Yet, no matter how they spin it, they are still unlawfully appropriating Rolex’s brand. If they possess such a “commitment to excellence,” why not apply it towards elevating Chinese watchmaking? Why not aspire to replicate Huawei’s success, opening stores in the heart of Western commercial districts and inspiring lines of customers eager for their latest release?
Let’s refrain from sullying the concept of “replica.” If the term “fake” seems too harsh, then perhaps “1:1 model” could suffice. However, the bottom line remains unchanged: a fake is always a fake, and it can never transform into the real deal.
