Why do people wear fake watches?

Fake bags/watches are illegal. whatever the grade is, you can always spot it's not real mccoy.

I agree with the rest of the guys here.

If you buy reps, then you're not only infringing copyright law but also not supporting the industry that produces these masterpieces you love. Its kinda like biting the hand that feeds you.

Building up your funds and pushing yourself to attain that grail piece is an achievement and a reward in itself, reps are just a shortcut to a lacklustre finish.


However, to each his own perhaps?

Agreed, one could tell the difference between replica and real one.

hahaha.

just to let people have more confidence in it especially if you are doing sales?

when I am young,I bought a fake rolex to wear.
when I bring it to a watch retailer to do some minor repair.

his words alway ring in my ears.
Sorry,we don't deal with fakes.

That set my mind in getting a real rolex. hahahaha

i used to have this colleague who have a few real watches at home. he never wear them out, not even once. he only wear fake ones out, weird guy.

1) Perhaps want to show off, but can't afford a real piece
2) Don't wish to damage the real piece, so wear a fake one to certain place

Usually I don't judge but for people to wear fake/replica stuff, I question what else in their life is fake.

Wearing a fake = wanting the status without willing to put in the effort (PERIOD)

Hmm...as a student, I used to think it was ok to wear fake watches, but as you learn more about how genuine watches are made and really delve more into horology...fakes just cannot live up to the quality and complexity of the originals.

That's what made me change my mind about the whole wearing fakes thing. I ended up getting a Tourby. ETA movement but non branded and affordable for my first mechanical fully purchased on my own.

just for the status symbol

Id rather wear a real Gshock than a fake Lorex
