Why does every thread here devolve into a "Real" vs. "Replica" argument?

Reminds me of a life experience 4/5 years ago, i was riding the subway and a lady next to me complimented my watch, a Rolex daytona panda. I said thank u. But my watch is a fake. Fake from Japan. I sat on subway asking myself if the lady knew my rolex was a fake and me thinking of her thinking that really bothered me. I guess this type of anxiety strikes Cobra replica owners when Joe Public simply ask "is it real?" It s a yes or no answer. The guys who can say No without stuttering Have a happier hobby life.

You obviously have no clue no have taken the to become familiar with the "replica" issue. Won't waste my time educating you specifically. Kinda like keeping the entire class behind for the kid who doesn't speak English. A hint though. Read the World Registry.

Even originals have some NOS parts in restoration these days. Your comment is ...well, silly at best.

I also have a real Rolex btw. In fact I have 5 of them, one being a gold Presidents Rolex. Just like my Rolex are real Rolexes my Shelby Cobra is a real Shelby Cobra.

Like when I'm asked about my Rolexes I have no anxiety at all when asked if my Shelby is real. Absolutely it is. I tell them what it is.

Again, shoo. Go away. Shoo. Go charge your Leaf.
