I didn't read this whole thread so I'm not sure where most people's' opinion fell. My general position is quality over quantity any day. Shouldn't a fake watch receive the same derision a fake M3 receives on this forum? There are many ways to be a poser. 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.
