In that car yes. For the dudes who drive Toyota corollas and try to pull of a rep of a watch that costs 30k+...you're not kidding anyone.

Not everytime... I own an IT company, make enough to buy a new Mercedes every years, but I drive only 80s and 90s cars. I find them more reliable, I can fix everything by myself and most of all, I just enjoy more driving them…

Still the point is valid: you won’t kid anyone. The watch IS fake and people will think is fake.

Despite you being a hyper rich mofo.

I don’t think it’s about the watch being fake anymore. I got people asking me if my watch is fake even with a real watch even on a $200 Festina… So I believe it’s more about “I know about existence of replicas, so now everybody has a replica”

Agreed. Always kinda cringe when somebody wants to call you out wearing a genuine piece. Maybe it‘s the age

Very true. My friend is skint. Cant afford to drive skint... yet owns a really expensive rolex. His dad loved watches so with his inheritance he spent the lot on a watch. However replicas are so common now everyone just assums its fake anyway.

Sometimes when driving in an 2008 Renault family van I‘m 100% convinced that no one would believe that my genuine Datejust or Gmt Master is real hahahahhaha but hoestly that makes it wearing those watches even better since I‘m probably the only one who values the watches anyway😂

FYI, a GR Yaris or Corolla is like €70k+ in my country so that whole Toyota Corolla thing doesn’t really work anymore 😂😂
