It is not often that you can have the very same item as Oris replica watches you see on TV without paying a small fortune.BC: As a "Watch Snob" yourself, how do you fight the urge to go upmarket?RG: It is a fine line.We have done some more expensive, limited edition pieces (A Naked Tourbillon, Ceramic Models, Models with Automatic Movements, et.al.,) but we can not forget what our primary goal is.We are now trying to maintain our core lineup while trying to evolve the line.We never want to forget our core customer.85% of sales fall in the $200-$500 price range, and I suspect that will be true for some time to come.
We love the idea of "affordable luxury".BC: Any initiatives you guys are working on for the future?RG: Well, believe it or not, about 80% of our US customers are female.That is just the opposite of the situation in Europe, where 80% of our replica Rolex Sports Models watch customers are male.We are going to be a major push to break into the men's watch scene here in North America.BC: Your models are obviously influenced by watches from brands like Patek Philippe, Rolex, Audemars Piguet, and Franck Muller.
We have heard you have quite a collection of your own.What was your first high-mark watch?RG: My first "nice" watch was Daniel Roth that I bought about 15 years ago.I think it was around $6,000.Since then I have really been bitten by the replica Sarcar watch bug and now I've spent $6,000 on a bracelet for a watch! Some recent purchases include a Rolex Deep Sea, and I picked up a limited edition Hublot Big Bang that was made specifically for a dealer in St.Tropez.It was number 11 of 50 made, and I knew I was overpaying, but I didn't care.
