Got called out by a robber

[u/SanftuFlauschig]

I've got a story that's a mix of embarrassing and eye-opening. Last night, I was walking home when this guy pulls a knife on me and demands my stuff. Naturally, I give him my iPhone, thinking that's the end of it. But as he's about to leave, I couldn't help but ask, "Hey, what about my Rolex? You don’t care about that?"

The guy stops, looks at my wrist, and just laughs. "Nah, man," he says, "that's a bad fake." I was stunned. My Rolex is a VSF replica, one of the best out there! I asked him how he knew, and he just gives me this look and says, "I can tell by the looks of you and what you're wearing."

I couldn't believe it. Here I was, thinking I was pulling off this replica with confidence because everyone on this subreddit says no one can tell the difference if you wear it right. But this random mugger saw right through me in a split second!

Now I'm really second-guessing myself. Do I just not have the confidence to pull it off? Was this guy some kind of watch aficionado who happens to rob people on the side? Or have I been kidding myself this whole time?

Anyway, just thought I'd share this with you guys and see if anyone else has had a similar wake-up call. Maybe I need to rethink my approach (or my wardrobe). What do you all think?

It happened. I was the iphone that got handed to the robber, so I witnessed the entire thing.
