Chemically identical. And without the human rights violations and environmental damage. Everyone I k now that sells lab-created is quite clear on their source.

Yes but at the end of the day monetary value and rarity is what really matters not appearances. They fail on both fronts.

I picked up the 42mm Superocean Blue late last year. I am really enjoying the watch. After going through various Omega 300 Seamaster Diver's, I went with Breitling. Even though it's not an in-house movement it fits my smaller wrist much better. Shorter lug to lug and thinner.

Watches are not investment vehicles.
