I’ve been thinking about getting a Rolex GMT someday, but it’s a big investment and I’m nervous about the weight, comfort, and how it looks on my wrist every day. Some friends suggested buying a replica first to get a feel for it. Has anyone actually done this? Does it really help to “test drive” the watch without risking thousands of dollars?

Using a replica as a “practice” before buying the real thing — do many people actually do this?

Sometimes people underestimate how much everyday wear affects your experience with a watch. Trying something similar — even a replica — can highlight what matters most, like how heavy it feels, how easily it scratches, or how the colors look in sunlight. Even if someone never buys the original, the hands-on experience teaches a lot about personal taste and practical wearability over time.
