This.
I rather wear a G Shock/Swatch/cheaper Seiko 5 (those 3 I also have) than any fake or even a 'tribute to' watch. Except for Laco Fliegeruhren because historically correct.
There are so many nice/beautiful fashionable brands outthere for $ 100-$500.
Diesel, Fossil, G Shock, Seiko, Citizen or even Swiss Brands like Tissot, Certina.
I don't get it spending the same 'low' price on a fake watch. Lots of explaining to do then...
[bragging]My current small personal collection: G Shock, Swatch(several, and Diaphane One) Seiko '5' automatic, Oris Chronoris re-edition , Zenith Sporto vintage, Seadweller 116600[/bragging]
I'm in the watch trade, my old man is a watchmaker fwiw.
Edit: In Tony's post above I'm number 1: collector. My holy grail is a Double Red SD from 1970(birth year) I love that stuff, history/technology, I'm happy to spend money on that. I'm a big JLC, AP , PP and Rolex fan. Had about 6 IWC through the years, I always prefer manufacture movements.
