I always say it's a fake - sometimes I even volunteer it without asking. But it's not out of morality or guilt - it simply makes for a more interesting story. If someone asks me when I wear my gen and I say "Yes it's real" - end of story! Conversation killer. But when I say it's a fake it always generates a fun conversation! I usually tell the story of how I brought my Hulk into Rolex of Beverly Hills and told them my Dad died and left me his watch and is it real? And how the sales lady looks at it with a loop and then said "well we never know for sure unless we take theff.....but ....yeah .. it's real" (winking reassuedly at me). People get a real kick out of that! It just makes for great stories that go off in any directions!
