there's perfectly good reasons to buy a replica without looking like a complete arse
There really isn't.
sure if you feel that duping people into thinking that you've got something that you don't is important. it's one thing if you're in high school and it's interesting or fun and nobody would believe that you really had a $5000-$10000 watch. it's entirely another to buy one and pass it off to friends or colleagues as real. it's ingenuine and I feel shows that a person just doesn't have their priorities straight. There's nothing wrong with a nice $40 watch that does its job and looks good.

Have you got your priorities straight if you insist on putting a value to a watch? Why would you care what price was paid for a watch?

Bought a fake Jaeger LeCoultre reverso out there...looks good but the little button which locks the face didnt function very well. Was on lads night out and a mate commented on this watch and asked me to flip it over thinking it was real. I told him I couldnt as I'd used bluetack on back...made me chuckle.
