Have you ever been caught wearing a rep?

Hi everyone. New to RWI and reps in general. Just out of curiosity, has anyone been caught wearing a rep? Even the low quality, budget reps seem like they would fool just about everyone.

Yes.

I was once caught.

A long time ago...

I spend 28 years in solitary confinement in a super max for this federal crime.

But it was worth it: When I was released, I swore that I will become a badass rebel outlaw section moderator on a rep forum and fight for the freedom of rep owners. And look at me now!

Back in the early 2000s, I wore a really fake looking Submariner and got stares from my friends around me.
At that time, replicas were hard to find so they wanted one too, even when it was looking not that great. At least it had a bezel, a case and a bracelet and didnt break down.

lol.

WHY? Strange response
Some people feel it helps to volunteer the "it's a fake" info from the outset rather than there being any room for doubt.

Others, like myself, don't feel the need to make any unprompted confession. I don't need to, because my wife always does it for me: "Oh that thing he's wearing? It's just a cheap Chinese fake, he couldn't afford a real one."

Why is being blunt and honest strange?

If find it strange that you think it's strange.
i am strange. I suspect the main reason most wear a fake is to make others believe its real thats all.

In my experience, the majority of contributing members of this forum wear watches (gen or rep regardless) because they like/enjoy them. The fact they are rep is secondary.
