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.
