I just don't understand how there's such a huge market for fake watches... Scary stuff.

If you dont understand the fake watch industry, you don't understand how the watch industry thrives from the concept that owning certain watches is a sign that you've made it. It's also a reflection of rampant consumerism...People see displays of wealth as success.

People aspire to look wealthy. It's sad but its part of human nature I think.

But the fakes are not really these watches, are they? It’s basically lying to yourself - maybe that’s what I don’t understand.
