$1,000+ fake Rolex Watches?

You could get a city block in Detroit for that.

Same reason people spend $1,000 on a pair of speakers, or $1,000 for a leather briefcase, or a $5,000 couch. You could buy a pair of speakers for $39 at walmart, get a briefacse at staples for $40 and a couch from IKEA for $199.

I personally find most Rolex designs to be a bit too flashy and gaudy for my tastes, a sort of "look at me!" style. Some models are handsome, but don't warrant the price, IMHO. But I can understand why they cost what they do and don't think it's ridiculous for people to want/buy them.

With watches, briefcases, and furniture I'm with you. But I think I'd cringe listening to a $39 pair of speakers from Wal-Mart versus my pair of Infinity Primus P152s... and these didn't cost me more than $120.

I find that the quality of things tends to be an S curve.
A $10,000 speaker is barely noticeably from a $1000 speaker which is a little better than a $100 speaker, which is a hell of a lot better than a $10 speaker which isn't noticeably better than a $1 speaker which is indiscernible from a $0.10 speaker.

Yes, and there are plenty of ignorant people content with their $39 pair of speakers and think others are absurd for spending twice as much or more.

If you don't appreciate the value in the product, don't pay the higher price. I'm not sure why this is always so hard to understand.

It would appear that this thread is now about speakers

I've seen a 300 dollar fake of a Submariner, and it was fairly decent.

The movement wasn't spectacular (the second hand didn't sweep that well) but when side by side with the original, it's pretty close. Upon close inspection you can see the differences.
