I agree in general. I would not use a 'wannabe' watch as my main or dress watch.

But once you have several nice Rolex and Omega watches, having one or more look-similar watches can be an amusing toy.

Frankly, I really like the Rolex Submariner design. It gives me amusement to use an inexpensive watch of reliable manufacture that resembles a Sub as a knock around watch. That way, I still have the comfort and look of wearing a nice watch of appealing design while not risking and expensive one.

In a way, it is much like the rich socialite that has a million-dollar necklace that she keeps in the vault and wears a replica of it when she goes to parties.
