Does anybody know if you can find replica watches in Korea? I mean good ones such as Bell & Ross, U-Boat, Audemars Piguet, Roger Dubuis, etc., not Rolex.
I am well aware that good replicas of these would still be considerably pricey.

Just get a real one. Why buy a copy that will *beep* up in a short time? Quality costs with watches. |

There's an underground shopping area near Eulji-ro 2-ga. There you will find a large map of Seoul. Take a dart and throw it at the map. You will find knock-off watches at the place where the dart hit. |

I alway's thought knockoff and good were a contridiction in terms, especially when it comes to watches! |

Spend your money on a well made watch in your price range like a Seiko or a Citizen. Why pay for something with a brandname on the outside a cheap Chinese gears on the inside? Would you drive a Porche that was all Kia under the hood? |

I know a guy and he has a watch that has a one time trigger that will send a helicopter to rescue him wherever he is. It sends a signal by satellite I think. |

You're asking for a knock-off of a company that doesn't even advertise prices until you try one on (Audemars)...good luck bud |

They do sell knockoffs for Piguet's. I've also seen knockoffs of Patek's, JLC's, etc. I've seen knockoffs in Itaewon but they were pretty bad. There are a lot of good knockoffs these days that in many cases, use the same movements and are virtually indistinguishable from the real watches themselves. It will cost you.
If I were you, I would just take the money you would spend on a fake and buy the best quality watch you could afford. Either that, or look online for a used watch. Do your research on the seller and you could get a watch in like new condition for half retail.

I bought a breitling watch of a guy in chinatown, assumed it was a knockoff. had it opened to replace the battery a few months later and it has an automatic movement. So I think I got a hell of a watch for $15 |

A watch with an automatic movement does not have a battery. If there was a battery in there, the watch does not have an automatic movement. Still, if you're happy with the watch, that's all that matters. |

sorry, I wasn't clear. I thought it was a fake so when it stopped working I assumed it was a bad battery. The guy selling me watch batteries unscrewed the back case and told be it was an automatic movement. I just had to wear it more and it would never run down. |

I've always been pretty content with my timex expedition. It cost $30, looks decent, has indiglo, and has lasted me for 8 years so far. |
