All headed to Brooklyn:

I had no idea there was a season for Fauxlex watches. Would be interesting to know if they were these obvious fakes, or something more sinister that could truly trick a potential buyer.
I hope this doesn't cause the prices of fake Rolex watches to rise!
Is there a list?

Was there a wait-list? 😅
Those are the bulk junk ones they sell on street corners. The better ones are mailed without box as singles. The noob ones have watch and box shipped independently. Allibaba for the bulk ones. There are 5 grades of fakes. Cheap quarts, Cheap chinese automatic, Japanese automatic, Swiss automatic and full on cloned hard to spot one to one copy.
I have a thing for researching stuff, I don't watch television but look up things and follow tangents and rabbit holes.

You are looking through the eyes of a watch enthusiast that searches replica forums to find the perfect copy.
but the majority of “customers “ for these high quality replicas aren’t like you. The majority is going to buy these watches “on the street”. From a friend of a friend that provides “an extraordinary deal”.
and as it is with every kind of goods, legal or not, of course they are shipped in bulk.
They make fake Yacht-Master IIs? Why? Just why? You can walk in and buy them…

Its sad to see them get cheated. I'm more interested in the parts selection that industry spins off. Without it we couldn't get the cheaper cases and movements. They have a big market of no logo dials. Always watch for the photoshops because they will photoshop a logo off and you think your getting a clean dial.
OMG, someone actually fakes the (horrid) Yachmaster II!
You would think they'd only fake watches people want...

Those were meant for @Omeganut 's friends and family.

Please! I only get them tasteful fakes, like the Sub, and the OP, and the Explorer, and the Daytona... well, pretty much everything except the Yachtmaster II
