Interesting angle to the discussion.
By the way, if I spent 15, 20 minutes, or whatever looking at a painting, studying it. And then somebody came by and said "you know that is not the original, it's a reproduction or whatever". I'd be immensely pissed. I don't care if I cant even tell the difference with my human eyes from 15 feet away. I would consider that a complete waste of time and energy, because there is nothing to be treasured about studying a piece of art that is not authentic. I would have opened a book or went online if all i wanted to see was the general image of the piece.
So I agree with you that watches have a very similar aspect as this. They are not really for telling time, although I think they do still come in handy, even if i have 2 cell phones in my bag. They are to be looked at, appreciated, and enjoyed as an accessory. How much deep appreciation and enjoyment is there from looking at a fake watch, or a fake DaVinci?
