“1953 Rolex”. Acceptable or unacceptable?
The Rolex “6350 honeycomb” explorer… Ofcourse, as you can probably tell, this is not an original. A friend of mine made this watch to exactly resemble a vintage 1953 explorer, fully patinated but with modern specs for hard use.
AKA, a useable vintage clone.
Typically I am disgusted by “replica” watches, but I thought this was kind of cool given it’s a fully useable vintage style watch.
Either way, it’s on one of our straps. LOL.

Your friend made a fake.

I don't know what clomage watches are if what your friend made here is considered fake.
