Must really suck to spend $15,000+ for a watch, and for all intents and purposes, it doesn't look or work that much better than a $35 copy. But of course since the only reason you would pay that is because you "appreciate the quality and craftsmanship". Of course if that was true, there would be less vitriol about people having fakes.
As to the comparison of Porsches and Honda's, that is really a poor argument. A better comparison of the real thing versus fakes is with the Shelby Cobra's. Of course some of the fakes are actually as good or almost as good as the real thing--and some are just cheap copies. There are also Shelby Cobra car clubs that would not exist without the copies. There are also some good fake 904s out there--that are screw for screw copies of the original. Never worth as much as the real thing but fun to drive. What about early 70 Ts made to look like Carrera's or RSs. Is that bad too? They sure seem popular, and no one derides them as fakes.
I am sure there is no one out there that would drive a RS copy while wearing a real Rolex and complaining about people wearing fakes.
What is this, the 5000th thread on Rolexes?
