I wanted to buy my grandfather a nice watch for his 80th birthday. His 80th year was a big year for him as he had been ill in the years leading up to this point and we weren’t sure he would ever get to 80! I was delighted to have him around and when he mentioned that his old Rolex stopped working I decided I would get him a new one. I told him this, but he told me he didn’t want me to spend that kind of money on him. I was determined to get him a Rolex and started shopping around.

I found the Rolex I knew he would like right away but wanted to find a way to do it so it wouldn’t be so expensive. The more I shopped the more I found, and then it happened, I found replica Swiss Rolex watches! These were great looking replicas that would allow me to give my grandfather a great watch that he would love while not upsetting him with the cost. I ordered it straight away. When I gave it to him he was shocked and then got upset and told me I should have kept my money. That is when I told him it was a replica and he laughed, he told me he had taught me well, that his first was also a replica!
