I know a few big Rolex heads that have a couple high quality replicas as well. You would be amazed at the quality of some of the newer, $750-$1,000 Rolex clones. I've seen some Rolex dealer guys get tricked by them in person. I think the mindset behind some of them is if you think that there is a significant likelihood that the watch could be stolen or lost on an outing, some people opt to wear the replica instead. Risk-mitigation. A lot less pucker factor when you realize your $1,000 Ceramic Daytona turns up missing, rather than a $25,000 Ceramic Daytona.
I don't personally have a problem with most replicas or frankenwatch builds, as long as it is done tastefully and not in an obnoxious manner. It's the people that wear them for the appearance of being big-time, when thy are so clearly not, that I find issue with. Any precious metal replica is pretty cringey to me, though. Steel or bust.
