By who?
98% of people won't notice you even wear a watch.
Of the last 2%.
98% of them won't consider it might be a fake.
Of that 2% of 2%.
98% of them won't know what model comes in what material.
Worry less, very few have held good reps, even less have hands on with gens, if you're happy with it, be happy with it. Mostly the reason anyones watch is obviously a rep is not a tell, it's the wearer.
Agreed 100% with all of that, the last sentence is bang on.
IMO, and in UK, if ever someone is gonna get called out on a watch it's usually gonna be a Rolex, more so Submariners ...........
Because the kinda oiks who will call folks out on watches whilst they are wearing their $10 market shitter have all heard of Rolex and seen their peers selling knock offs / snides / fakes, (notice my terminology there) I don't class $50 DHG shit as a replica
I have been called out by a pissed twat once when I was wearing a Gen 2 tone Bluesy, I was in my overalls and called into a town pub one afternoon to return the Pub owners Car after some work
I just laugh at 'em and if they are a real pain in the arse they get fucked off outta it.
A decent enthusiast is a different story, happy to tell them whether they are right or not and discuss watches with them.
