What’s an example of a watch that’s mechanically identical to a Rolex?

A Seiko SKX (or a spiritual successor) with a regulated NH35 will fall into the same “100m water resistance, accurate to within 10 seconds per day” category as a Rolex for about a 10th of the price.

That is hilarious to me. A quick search is showing one can expect a POS Casio to be +/- 15 seconds per month.

But then you don't get as many excuses to display your watch from needing to adjust the time

It's pretty common now to find "Super Fakes" of designer brands, that are very difficult to tell apart from the real thing. They'll be expensive but not as expensive as the real thing.
