To build on this, you will notice that not all knock-offs are of equal quality. You may find some that are basically the same quality as the original, and some that are much lower (though you won't find the same quality for Rolex). Prices range accordingly, but all should be very cheap. I've gotten guys in Shanghai down to around five bucks for a Rolex.
I stress, things are much cheaper than you would likely even imagine in China. To give you some perspective on this, most of the successful young professional Chinese I know in Shanghai are making around $10,000 CDN a year in good jobs, and the non-professionals I know are making half that or less. That should give you an idea of how cheap things here really are. It's difficult to fathom at first from a Western perspective, but that's reality here.
