More importantly, is the theft of intellectual property acceptable to those who buy fakes? Sure you can get your fake Rolex in a backwater like Pakistan or the streets of New York for $100 but it's the folks who get fooled into thinking they are buying the real thing who incur the most damage. Like the preying tactics of payday loan companies, there are many people on the planet without the acumen to do their due diligence on a purchase and the more crooks there are ripping off other's intellectual property the worse the market is for all of us. I just personally think wearing anything fake in an attempt to boost your ego or other people's opinion of you only speaks poorly about the person wearing the fakes of any item. Keeping up with the Joneses is no way to go through life and if you're wearing fake items like Rolex's or mortgaging your life to drive a BMW then you're all flash and no substance.
I bought mine, like I've said earlier, to preserve my real ones. I commented in the other thread that replacement costs outweigh wearing my real ones everyday.
