Sometimes the story behind a luxury fake watch is nothing more than walking into a store and buying one because you need it. Such was the case with Lowe, who had arrived in L.A. in 2006 to begin a tour, and had forgotten to take a watch. “I always wear a watch and I felt quite bereft without one,” he remembers. “I walked into the shop and picked out what I suppose was one of the plainest high quality replica watches there. It still had style and a little showbiz about it, but it wasn’t too shouty or the kind thing I would be worried would be stolen.”
But his plain watch has really grown on him over time, which is evident in the fact that it remains in his pared down collection. “I love the dial, and the rose gold markers,” Lowe says. I also love the sort of grasshopper-leg lugs, those appeal to me, as well. Plus, it was extremely reasonably priced. I think I paid $1,500 for best 1:1 fake Omega.”
This one was also sent to AAA replica Omega for service. “This is the one that inspired me to send off my grandpa’s watch,” he says. “And now it runs like a dream.”
For many, refurbishing a watch can be something of a frightening experience. But Lowe maintains that his top replica watches were handled with extreme care. “Swiss movement fake Omega sent all the original pieces that they replaced back,” he recalls. “It was very sensitively done and they asked me exactly what I wanted.”
