Genuine or fake?

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

£60,000 or £500.

Top end fakes are pretty good these days.

Interesting video if you're into expensive watches.

Allthough that watch is high value I wouldnt even go £500 it was a genuine item.

Being poor I make do and mend with a ten quid Casio (complete with a ten year battery guarantee)......still going strong after 5 years on the original battery. . It's battered to f*uck but still 'ticking'.

I also have a Pulsar which I rarely wear. Cost about £60

Always liked watches have two Longines & Tagheure all are worth far more than what I paid for them , was thinking about getting an Omega Seamaster but prices have increased dramatically.

Well engineered watches.

Never been fond of Rolex though. They have the uncanny knack of making a £10,000 watch appear indistinguishable from a garish ten quid watch bought from a petrol station.

A friend of mine years ago won a Rolex for his amount of sales
( Office equipment) it was forever going back to the service center with various faults. I also have a  professional Seiko divers watch which I purchased in 1972 been serviced once & still works perfectly.

There becomes a point where the price is just ridiculous, regardless of how wealthy you are.   

Any fakes of Gucci watches will be a million times better built than the genuine Gucci tat.

I bought a 'Rolex Submariner' for ten quid off a man on the street in Manila a few years ago! 

It seemed pretty robust, and lasted about 5 years.  I even wore it when diving.

I imagine  for £10 it was a piss poor copy.

I certainly wouldn't spend £60,000 on a watch......£500 high end copy of a £60,000 watch, perhaps.

You'll end up getting hit over the head for you Chinese copy.

Yes I'm sure that anyone who knew about these things would have spotted it a mile off. 

I know nothing about expensive watches (or expensive anything come to that!) and bought it for a laugh.  My mate had a collection of broken fake watches that he'd picked up in various Asian flesh pots and was gutted that my 'Rolex' lasted so long!

You seem to have an unhealthy fascination with ladyboys.

They must be everywhere in Barnsley. It's the type of 'Asian fleshpot' town as described by Tigger.
