The look has been widely imitated.

I beg to disagree: there is a perfectly viable other motivation: they don't care about the brand or otherwise. They like that cheapish watch, they buy it.

That's not an argument "in favour of" fakes, but you are ascribing motivations to people that they don't necessarily have. A watch is not a status symbol for everybody.

Surely not so rotten as that, Tony? Not all of them?
