Have a look at my earlier post in this thread.
Not sure if you can get that particular model. Perhaps.
1500 baht should be enough to pay

I found this elsewhere on the web. Moderators, delete this if that is not allowed please:
1) CHEAP & NASTY made in Hong Kong.
These are sold by street-side vendors and wandering salesmen in beer bars. The first thing to look at is the side of the strap, if it is made of layers of metal (like a Swiss roll) then it's cheap and nasty, buy it for a child to break within a few months. Generally, they can be bought for 50% of the first asking price. My advice is to avoid these, and if you do buy one, remember there is no guarantee, and remember that all the faulty ones are "recycled" back to gullible tourists. Check it out, make sure the hands move, that the hour changes, and also check that the watch face is on upright. If it's a day/date watch, carefully ensure that the date and day actually change! Don't buy a "gold" finished watch if you want it to look the same in 3 weeks, and don't ever get it wet.
2) GOOD QUALITY, but still obviously a copy, made in Taiwan
These can be quite decent with some very convincing Rolex available, apart from the tell-tell second hand, a real Rolex is clockwork automatic not quartz and the second hand moves round with a continuous motion
A second variant is an almost genuine article with an automatic movement. As above, make the usual checks to see it works and check that the bracelet clasp is working, this seems to be a poor feature on some designs. You may be told a copy diver's watch is waterproof, please don't be silly and believe them!
The best buys are all steel finished in chrome with metal bracelets, avoid "gold" watches, they have only the thinnest of coatings and will not last a few weeks of wear.
3) HIGH QUALITY usually from Taiwan
A great many copy premium watches are to be found in MBK Centre, some fine examples of the art, which make you wonder why the genuine article is so expensive. These would not fool a dealer, but are in the region of 90%+ accurate in all but price. All main major brands are there, expect to pay up to 6000 Baht for a really fine example and 2000 Baht upwards, for the rest.
IMPORTANT Check your watch thoroughly before and after purchase to make sure the one in the bag is the one you selected, remember, all faulty ones are "recycled" via unwary tourists!

It completely escapes me how any sane person could come to close to the idea of buying a genuine Rolex watch, let alone a 2nd or 3rd class faked copy. These outdated Rolex designs must be the epitome of bad taste and their owners are the typical sad impersonation of nouveau riches.
I mean, give me a break, even the pimps are too embarrassed nowaday to get seen wearing a Rolex. I certainly wouldn't let such an ugly clump of metal come close to my wrist, not even if somebody would be pay me for wearing it...

For the price of a real Rolex you could wear a different immitation every week for the rest of your life and still be thousands ahead. Oh well, I guess some people have more money than brains.

sorry for "misusing" the thread, but fritz just brought a joke to my mind:
a banker has a car accident, his family was in it and his car is completely destroyed:
-rescue member: i am sorry sir, but your wife and your doughter are dead, we have done all we could , but we were not able to save them . please accept my dearest apologies.
-banker: (whining) my porsche. my porsche....
-rescue member: but sir, your left arm is missing, we have to go to the hospital immediately. please come with me.
-banker: (whining) my rolex, my rolex...

Thieves market, or in Thai 'Klong Thom" - at Whang Burapha is worth a look - If you/taxi cant find it - say "Merry King - Whang Burapha" - and take the underground enterance, beside a canal, opposite the Merry King depatment store, in Whang Burapha, near Chinatown.

I beg to differ; there are watches that actually appreciate in value over time. Vacheron Constantin, Patek Philippe and Audermars have done this on a consistent basis. If you bought your Rolex because you love it, God bless you. But don't give us the resale bullspit, please.
