What I don't get about recasts...they aren't really cheap.
Take a Rolex for example, since the prices can in some cases be compared well.
If I want I could get a fake one for 10 bucks.
That's dirty cheap, for any kind of watch.
Recasts however are not that cheap.
They are still pretty expensive, even if they are cheaper compared to their legit counterparts.
It still baffles me how someone pays 100$, 200$, sometimes even more to own a chinese bootleg.
I gladly pay quite a lot of money for a legit, both because I think artists deserve to live and because I know how much work it is (and, well, it's my hobby, no need to be all thrifty).
Getting a recast for 50$ would still be too much in my eyes, since it still is just some cheap bootleg.
Why the fuck should I pay so much for that?
Even more, they willingly send that much money to some guy producing illegal goods in China.
If I buy some cheap watch on a market during my vacation I don't hand the money directly to the producer.
Furthermore, it's not an amount of money that would hurt when going to waste.
But recast owners send 200$ to some guy they can barely understand and they know does something illegal.
Just don't get why anyone would risk that, just to own some cheap chinese copy.
