There are many great watches, e.g. Ball Hydrocarbon Engineer, Sinn U1-U2, Swiss Military, Luminox, Nautische Muhle SAR, G-Shock and so on that can be bought in a variety of price ranges that can serve as a daily "beater" (terrible term) without the wearer having to be a phony. Wearing a fake Rolex just indicates to me that the wearer is sporting a Rolex to feel important, and not for the inherent values of the watch.

Plus, the sport line of Rolex that I've been most acquainted with are strong, sturdy watches with basically uncomplicated movements, and many of us buy them just because the REAL Rolex is so dependable in so many situations. Seems add to replace a REAL daily use watch with a FAKE daily watch. What's the advantage?
