Yes, some of the counterfeits are excellent. I found some on Canal
Street that actually had the perpetual movement. No battery. With the
back cover removed, you would swear they were the real thing. At one
time I was director of a radio control racing series. It was a six-city
circuit with races once a month and a championship point series in five
classes. I gave each class champion a Rolex at the end of the season. I
wish someone had been there with a camera to record the look on their
faces.

I showed my Rolex Daytona to a bartender in my LA hotel a few years

woke up the next day, it was gone. Too bad, It was one of the nicest,
most authentic counterfeits I've ever seen. Paid $35 for it on New
My Rolex President day/date is still with me. I bought it in the
Chinese Market in Kuala Lumpur some years ago for US $ 30. The man
who sold it to me said it had a lifetime warranty and just to bring it
back to him if I ever had a problem with it. It still runs and keeps
perfect time, something which can't often be said for the real McCoy.
