I've said it before and I'll say it again: fake watches are for fake people.
Furthermore, just the fact that you're wearing a fake watch is where you go into the "wrong". Plenty of people saying that the real infraction is done when someone lies about it being a fake. No, that would be infraction number two. First one is the watch in your wrist. You are already lying by wearing a fake without even opening your mouth.

Hmmm, some of this I agree with, I dont mind wearing some fake stuff, but mostly because I dont care about brands, I like clothes that fit well and accessories that complete my look, I could care less if a watch even has a battery in it, I care if that matte gunmetal square'ish piece matches my new super slim fitted suit....
I have a buddy who resales a brand of watches that are junky but because of their colors and style they pop, and working in vegas for the pool season I think they are a perfect fit, I match them to my shorts or shoes and I don't even care if they stop working
I am against fake attitudes so I agree if someone goes out of their way to find a fake Rolex that's attempting to make a false statement, and it's the same as sleazy hollywood people who say they are pruducers/models/talk themselves up and pretend they are super successfull all the time when it's obvious they are struggling.
So i agree. I wouldn't mind sporting a replica if it looked nice and the quality was up to my standards for that specific item.
I ran TE37's on an old track/show car I had, but I also recently recommended a set of replica TE's for my girlfriends car because since she doesn't track it and it's her daily I didn't see the need to spend $4k on a set of wheels when their only function was to look good lol.....
Oh and btw she knows they are replicas.Varstoen's.
Another thing is I hate overpricing done by big brands, I am a loyal customer when I find a good brand that makes me beautifull/quality products and doesn't try to rip me off.
Is a piece of metal worth $200.000 because it has a famous name next to it and has $500 bucks worth of instruments on in? Fuck no!!
