A bit surprised at the watch snobbery on this site when I did a search , one guy got slated for posting pics of his watches,was told they were fake watchs and he was being the big man.Firstly they are not fake watches,they tell the time like the original but are not made by Rolex or omega etc , secondly he possibly like myself likes the look of the original watch but can't justify/afford the genuine one.
I buy parts for the cars all the time that are fake Ford or Honda but are cheaper/do the same job and no one bothers.
It's been compared to looking down your nose at someone who builds a fake escos or similar, when I was 19 all I wanted was a cosworth and built a (bad) rep as I could afford the car or insurance , I shouldn't be judged for that should I.
Yes you should you cheapskate peasant lol.
Only kidding above mate, your view is much the same as mine. I like the designs of the Tag and Breitling watches above but can't afford one so i would most likely by a rep. TBH even if i could afford one i wouldn't buy one as i'd be too worried about scratching it and also couldn't justify spending a few grand on a watch. As you say there is a lot of watch snobbery around.
