You know where the Ooopa Loompas work? Sweet!

I like the chart of the OP. When it comes to "tells" involving a persons class or SES, there are always tells. People cannot help but give themselves away, and in general are way more predictable and fit into statistical patterns WAY more than they think they do - my professional opinion from the psych/philosophy world. But...that kind of talk leads us right into "do you tell others your watch is fake" conversation?

I play guitar, and when I see an early 60s strat at a bar in a very blue collar neighborhood, I know at 99% accuracy that it's a "reproduction". Why? Because they are very expensive, and very cherished. I also know that there are more "reproductions" and relics from the 60's than Fender actually made guitars by a huge factor. So the odds that the guitar is real, his ole' grandpappy gave it to him, blah bah blah is just too statistically low. The Believablilty Quotient is about statistics, and the more "personal" data you factor in, the more that quatient would go up, statistically speaking.

Out of 100 people, 20 will notice your watch 5 know about watches in general, 1 knows about the brand in general, 0.9 will be a rep forum member not being able to know the tells, 0.1 will be able to tell you up. Unless you are wearing a quartz, if that is the case all 5 people will suspect you are wearing a rep because simply there are very few quartz fine watches. If you are wearing a rolex, all 100 people will think its a rep.
