Swiss-made Rolex replicas can replace Rolex watches.

Reality: False. Swiss-made Rolex replicas may be virtually identical to a real Rolex watch in terms of quality, may be indistinguishable from the real thing and no one can ever tell the difference. But they can never replace an original Rolex watch which holds a genuine brand name and resale value, and is a collector's item. People who hold Swiss-made Rolex replicas usually wear them only to look good. The quality may be just as nice as a real Rolex watch, and no one can ever tell the difference, but nothing can replace the real thing. Myth #11: "Japan-made Rolex replicas have a sapphire crystal." Reality: False. Japan-made Rolex replicas do not have a sapphire crystal. They have mineral crystals. Many dealers try to say their Japan-made Rolex replicas have a sapphire crystal just so they can sell more watches, but don't believe their stories. They know that customers like you cannot test the crystal to see if it is sapphire or mineral. They know you will never smash your watch with a hammer to test its durability. Myth #12: "Japan-made Rolex replicas can last for years." Reality: Undecided. It all depends on how take care of your watch, and how you define its durability. For some people, the watch will last as long as the movement keeps ticking, and in that sense, the Japan-made 21-jewel Miyota automatic movements can tick for 1 year and up to as long as 8 years. But the biggest problem for Japan-made Rolex replicas is when the gold plating begins to wear off, or other minor problems appear in its appearance. Sometimes engravings begin to dent, chip, or fade, or other cosmetic problems begin to surface. When the gold on a Japan-made Rolex replica begins to fade, you can no longer wear it in the public. Everyone knows that a gold-faded Rolex replica is an obvious fake. And the gold usually begins to wear on the inside of the bands within 2-3 months, and it will start fading on the outside usually within 1-2 years. So no matter how reliable the rest of the watch is built, if the gold begins to fade, it can't be worn in the public anymore.
