Have i missed the boat?
Not keen on fake stuff myself. I stupidly bought those ''genuine'' Lacoste polo's off Big Ste the cunt. Never worn them since I found out they were fake.
Awful quality really. Same size on the tag but ones about 3 sizes bigger than the other.
Went turkey last year, didn't buy anything. Waste of money.

He quite strongly argued how they were real until someone finally pulled him up.

I had two of them polos off him aswell, same with the size issue, the red one was tight as fuck but the brown nice, even though both were size 3 
I don't wear a watch (I have a phone to keep the time and there's always a desktop wherever I am) because I can't type with one on, I do have a Diesel watch that I wear for interviews or if I am going to spend all day in meetings, but the battery stopped years ago so it's only for show 
Not sure if that's worse than buying and wearing a fake one though!?

That's something I have a mental block on. No matter how much the watch costs, it has to be working. One of my watches stopped working and I didn't wear it for months and months until I finally got it fixed.

Hadn't seen that post, my thoughts on Rolex are elsewhere, I know they dont cost anywhere near 4k to make, they also cost a lot more than 300.

I was more trying to say that you can build something of high quality that would fool 99.9% of people for a fraction of the market value 
I'm a watch fan, I love Automatic sports watches Replica or not.. I love them

I almost got a gshock recently but the geek inside me went for the garmin with GPS instead.
I also fancy one of the GPS analogue dial Seiko's, love that sort of shit.

I got various colours off him. It seemed as if each colour was a different kind of material. Still wore them, not assed He did replace the random croc one too, so no real drama tbh.

Was he not a proper football hooligan? Sure he was well up for fisty cuffs with anyone who questioned him.

He swore blind they were legit and "through a girl who worked at a catalogue" or something like that. Don't think he liked being questioned about them. To be fair, he was a sound lad, but they were utterly fake.

No it was his mate and they were American so that's why size numbers were 1 out
