This falls under the category of "what's the point?"

Yes, you could buy a copy of a well-known watch that from 12" away, it would be hard to tell. But you would know. So you get the "prestige" that goes with a well-known, well-recognized watch, without the price. And what's the point of that?

There are outstanding quality watches available at all price points. Just as not everyone can afford a new 997 GT3RS, there are 911 SC's.

Probably not the answer you were searching for. IMHO. YMMV. HNY.
