My Journey Through Horology
As a long-time watch enthusiast and collector, my obsession with timepieces started with Swatch and grew into an addiction for Rolex, Omega, and Patek. But over time, I started to question the financial burden of collecting luxury watches.
Enter the 1:1 super clone world—a category of watches that changed everything I thought I knew about collecting.
What Made Me Switch
It started with curiosity. I bought a replica Submariner out of frustration over AD waitlists. The result? I was stunned. It looked and felt just like my authentic one—down to the dial texture and bezel resistance.
From there, I began exploring super clone watches for sale online, connecting with communities, and learning the insider lingo (VSF, ARF, ZF, etc.).
Quality Meets Affordability
With just 5% of the price tag, I now enjoy:
Day-to-day wear without fear
Easy access to styles previously out of budget
Identical case sizes, movements, and bracelets
Each clone I now own serves a different purpose—from business meetings to travel.
How My Circle Reacted
At first, I was hesitant to share this shift. But surprisingly, many fellow collectors confessed to doing the same. Some even mix clones with real pieces, using them interchangeably.
It became less about brand bragging and more about the love of watchmaking.
Is It the End of Authenticity?
Not at all. My original watches still hold value. But for practical wear, 1:1 super clones make more sense.
