So, the first thing that jumps out is that, yeah, they definitely *still* seem to be kicking around. Someone asked about hawkers on Legian Beach selling copy watches, and that suggests the answer is probably a big YES. I mean, Bali’s a tourist hotspot, and where there are tourists, there’s usually someone trying to sell ’em something. And cheap watches? Classic.
Then you’ve got places like “Bagus Watch.” The name itself screams “almost-but-not-quite-real-watch,” doesn’t it? The TripAdvisor reviews for it… well, they say “designer replica!” in the description. So, like, no surprises there. It seems like a kinda well-known place, with people raving about it (or at least acknowledging its existence). Plus, Bagus is close to Kuta, another tourist magnet.
Now, the price point is interesting. Someone mentioned negotiating a watch down from 800k Rp (that’s Rupiah, folks). That’s… something. Not dirt cheap, but definitely not “genuine Swiss timepiece” territory. Makes you wonder about the quality, ya know? My personal opinion? Probably not going to last you 20 years like that Seiko, but hey, maybe it looks good for a holiday!
And then, there’s the whole online thing. “Toko Ultimatereplicawatch” sounds… uh… ambitious. The “Best Cheap Replica Watches Online For Sale” site is straight up calling them *Rolex Replica.* I wouldn’t trust that further than I could throw it. Seriously, buying online from dodgy sites is a recipe for getting scammed. Just saying.
Honestly, the whole thing is a bit of a gamble. You might get lucky and find a decent-looking fake that lasts a while. You might get ripped off. You might get a watch that falls apart after a week. And you’re probably not supporting ethical businesses, lets be real.
