Easy answer: "Of course it's a real watch; see, it tells the fuckin' time and all".
I think it's about the biases such as but not limited to age and presentation. I wore a gen 116610 during university. It was a gift from my parents for scoring high on the SATs and getting into my choice college. I was asked all the time if it was authentic by classmates. I was 19 and unemployed being that I was a full time student. An $8400 watch on my wrist was sure to raise suspicion. I'm now 24, working as a banker making good money. I've long sold my gen sub and now I wear the ARF sub. Not one person has asked me if it is real.

Are we done yet?
Yes. They understand. My family all works in finance and government. We see value propositions purely in a monetary perspective. At the end of the day, a watch is a tool. We don't believe in the BS of saving it to the next generation or the other marketing gimmicks. Reconsolidate the sale money into a down payment for my mustang lol
