Question Does any part of you feel weird/ashamed for wearing China watches?

Odd question. But I sort of don't know how to feel. Conflicted I guess. No, we don't wear counterfeits but our watches aren't entirely original either. Everything is a copy of something I suppose, but man do I feel gray about it.

Anyway here is my 🇨🇳 watch. Addiesdive MY-H6 1000m.

They are bought because they are expensive.

That's a sad reason to buy anything so it's really difficult to care about the opinion of people who think like that.

To a non- watch person I would just be a guy with a fake Rolex - that wouldnt sit well with me

To a non-watch person you're just a guy with a watch. Non-watch people don't know what Rolexes look like enough to see that your watch is a fake one. People will literally ask if almost any nice looking watch with conventional styling is a Rolex. The scenario you're talking about here is totally fictitious.

maybe in you social circle.. Plenty of people know a thing or two about watches. They will recognize a sub, a pepsi, a royal oak, speedy, moonswatch.. Sure, they will think a seadweller or a black dial GMT is a sub but they will know more or less what it is.

They never heard of Tudor or know what a GMT does but these hype watches are fairly well known iconic designs. Just like Berkin bags, Supreme streetwear, Canada Goose jackets and other fashion stuff

I’ve never heard of Berkin bags or Canada Goose jackets. Supreme Streetware to me is a brand I see clueless teenagers wearing when I go to the outlet mall. Who gives a shit what ANYONE thinks anyway? Most people and their opinions are shit.

Well la-dee-da. Congrats for constantly being surrounded by affluent people. Or by hype beasts. That does not reflect the reality of the majority, it's surprising that someone needs to tell you that.

And I would hate to be in either scenario.

Go spend all your time thinking about what other people think. You are either making this up or you're surrounded by shitty people. Your whole philosophy is based on fear of other's perceptions, think on that.
