No one ever asks me how much my watches cost or tell me they look like fakes, I just know that my $40 chinese movement clones tend to get more admiration than my $5k+ watches. I also think people seeing a younger guy wearing a watch that cost a decent amount just assume its a fake.
here is my latest watch that was $50 shipped. Ive never seen anything like it and neither have most people that comment on it. I had some guy at a watch shop (a customer) offer me over 1k to buy it off me. I had to tell him it was only $50. Would have felt bad ripping him off like that.

If you see him again, point him here --

Perhaps the guy wants a "notable" bridge movement watch. If so, point him to Corum. Bridge movements are a niche for Corum and they do a very fine job with it.
All the best.
