Firstly, when you search for “CS Factory,” you get bombarded with completely unrelated stuff! Like, one minute I’m seeing “CasioPart” which is all about cabinet doors and 3D panels (wha?), then boom, I’m looking at “カッティングステッカー専門店 CS” which, let’s be honest, I have no idea what that is. Stickers, maybe?
Then, there’s this mention of CS2 and CS:GO skins. Huh? Okay, completely different ballgame. I guess “CS” is just a popular initialism or something.
But then, BAM! There it is. The watch connection. I saw something about “Customer Service” selling “top-quality replica watches from VS Factory.” Now, VS Factory seems to be a big name in the replica watch world. They’re always popping up in forums and stuff where people are arguing about bezels and movement accuracy.
Here’s where things get a little…sketchy, maybe? The descriptions talk about “replica watches.” Let’s be real, that means “fake.” “Homage” is the word people *try* to use. It’s a kinder word. But “fake” is easier. And let’s be honest, everybody knows these aren’t the real deal.
I also saw something about “Clean Factory Watch” (AFWatch Shop) which seems to be in the same ballpark. They are apparently doing Audemars Piguet and Rolex, with prices and quality reviews.
Now, I’m not gonna lie, I’m a bit torn here. On the one hand, I wouldn’t advocate buying counterfeit goods. It’s kinda dodgy morally, and you’re potentially supporting some questionable business practices. Like, are the people making these things being paid fairly? Probably not.
On the other hand… I get the appeal. A genuine Rolex Submariner costs a small fortune. For a fraction of that price, you could get something that *looks* pretty darn close. If that’s your thing, then who am I to judge? But, you know, just be aware of what you’re getting into. Don’t expect it to be indistinguishable from the real thing. People who know watches *will* be able to tell.
