Sure, sorry I was kinda jumping to another point and mentioned rolex because Scilly brought them up. Didn't mean to sound like I meant they did. I think the reason I like the idea of fake Rolexs is that they are such a stereotypical luxury purchase that I have no problem with them being ripped off.
Wouldn't wear one though (although one of my friends dad's has an og 34mm Explorer which is lovely)
Edit: you didn't mention them oops

I assume that I look like a muppet wearing Jawbreakers, but I feel comforted that I'm a muppet who wouldn't actually spend £200 on sunglasses. I'm never going to buy the real thing, and I would be quite happy with the Aliexpress item sans branding.
I also quite like the idea of fake Rolex's, and its also an interesting point as a lot of watches use stock movements which are more (or less) modified in house.
I've bought one legit SMP Composit for £100 (RRP £200), one second hand one which was stripped and I covered with leather for a total cost of £25 and is to all intents and purposes identical. There is an absurd mark-up on some of these items which does not justify either manufacturing skills or research costs IMO and at that point I am less willing to support official items
But I'm not wearing fake things because I think it makes me look cool / other people won't notice.
