To expand on this, if the AD did realise it was fake are there any proceedings they could initiate (store / chain ban, call the police, confiscate the watch etc etc) or is there nothing they could / would do?
There is no law against owning a rep just buying one and there is zero chance an ad with any kind of brain will call you out, never mind call the police.
First of all there is nothing illegal going on so it would just make the AD look like a Karen.
But let's just say calling him out and saying "this is a rep" is the only option, they would never do it because a lot of people actually do buy reps thinking they're real. So now you want to tell someone who may have spent $17+k on a watch that it's not worth anyway near that.
Chances are the person wearing the rep wouldn't believe him, would take up hours of his time trying to convince each other of some thing he doesn't care about.
Aldo chance are there is really no benefit of him calling you out for the sake of humiliating you unless you're into that. So in my case, I'd probably pay good money to be treated that way.
Also what happens if the ad makes a statement like "it's a rep" and turns out to be wrong? Then he looks like a petty, childish, jerk. A petty childish jerk who can't distinguish their own premium luxury products. It would be embarrassing if incorrect.
