I wore fake Rolexes that I bought in Thailand when I was a teenager.

As soon as I could afford one I bought a real Rolex - and when I did, I chose the Explorer I so the only people who would recognize it were other watch people.

I'm convinced that Rolex lets the fake market thrive as advertising for them - so long as the fakes remain unreliable. (Why don't you ever see a fake submariner with a quartz movement, or hands and hour markers that stay connected for more than six months)

I have no problem with fake watches, nor do I have a problem with people saying "Hey man, nice Rolex; is it real?"

I know others don't feel the same.
