I would like to also thank you for your detailed answers for my questions,
However I have one more if you guys don't mind :)))
Trusting your AD...
Can you guys imagine the following situation:
A guy who works for an AD decides to make a little extra cash in his pocket
he buys 10-20 rolexes from the fake market (of course the excellent quality ones that are sold for $250) and sells it to customers for the regular price...
He can sell 20 watches in 3-4 months... If he sells the watches for approx $4000 he can make a jawdropping profit of $75k!!! Hmmm that sounds like a good profit in 3-4 months... Now our guy he made enough profit to say hello to his well profiting job and disappears in the "fog" The chance of getting cought is 0 coz he works for the AD and everyone trusts him...
The reason is I'm telling you guys this story because this is a VERY realistic scenery. The AD's are humans too... DO NOT TRUST ANYONE!!!
(Therefore "simplicity" is not always a good factor in an expensive watch)
With respect,
Verolex

The scenario you speak of, although extremely unlikely, could play out involving any watch brand Omega, Breitling, Tag, Panerai etc. You seem to feel that a watches complications makes it impervious to replication. The fact is that there are a great many very complicated watches that are replicated. Most of the grade 1 swiss FAKES, which sell for up-wards of $750, use a swiss movement, thus enabling it to have a chronograph, moon phase, 24 hr hand and so on. Complications are no guarantee against replication.
