From strangers I get only a short look. Friends ask is its a special watch - mostly vintage models.

Majority of people don't see or don't know watches. So they see no differences between AP and Casio. They look at the design: "nice", "not nice"
This. I never get comments about my watch outside of new pickups i start wearing around my friends (who are not watch people). My daytona specifically had a friend think it was cool and said something along the lines of "oh damn is that a rolex? that's super cool.... etc" and he of course asked if it was real 🤣 (I am a college student for reference) I jokingly replied that it was my dads and he had passed it on to me and that was that.

On the large though, I don't see many high end horological pieces replica or otherwise in the wild because of my environment. Outside of the weekend college football games on my campus in which I saw a Omega DSOTM on a (much older than I) fellows wrist a week ago. I'd love if more people my age were into this hobby but of course gen prices keep that out of reach of the vast majority of people and being such a small hobby as it is, most people have to be introduced into watches, then into the world of reps. So theres a lot of "steps" so to speak to get someone into this world and let alone on RWI for example. 😭

I manage a pawnshop and of course, we sell watches. Out of all the people I see on a daily basis there’s probably three regular customers that come in who are into watches and take an interest in what’s on my wrist.

One of my employees who wears some basic digital watch occasionally comments and tells me, “cool watch”.

He is definitelly utilizing his celebrity by buying for normal price and then resell
Lol why would he resell?

He's worth 300Ms.
Why do you keep repeating this about Kevin Hart?... Do you have a hard on for him!!!!.
Who gives a shite about how much he pays for his watches and what he does with them after.
Lol okay Kevin calm down.

Why? Why do you wear a replica if you're embarrassed to say it is what it is?

Buy a nice cheap Tudor and be done with it.

Lol and then you take her to your 2010 Nissan Qashqai and back to ya 2 room apartment in Queensbridge?

Brother, these watches are toy watches. They are not for flexing.
You take an uber to a sea cost or forest, a bottle of champagne and 2 glasses, bang her and say "i took some champagne tonight, thats why i am taking uber"

I'm not embarrassed at all, I was just poking fun at me owning a daytona at the ripe age of 21 in the midst of college. I wear it cuz I like it 😎👍
