I think one of our bro already gotten his a few pages back?

The gold accents is really nice but not worth it for those who already have a mm300. Since there is no upgrade other than colors upgrade and engraving.

Fake is real...real is fake ? That is the fun of the game lah!

I have a collector friend who has $300K worth collection but he also buy some non-gen stuff just for fun of it, is that wrong ?

By the way I only wear those non-gen when I go to neighbor country for biz to prevent some unlucky day kena chop my hand .

Actually hor wear a fake of a highly recognizable brand is asking for trouble? Why attract unwanted attention and get robbed over a fake?

Nothing wrong with buying a fake knowing it's a fake. Though selling a fake as a gen or passing off a fake as a gen isn't quite right.

Personally I would not wear a fake? Will feel weird..

My personal limit are similar designs but carrying a different brand so that at a glance clearly it's not trying to be what it isnt.

I agree , once I was in Malaysia , a colleague saw my replica Pam he was impressed and thought is a real one ,I jokingly offer him S$5000 he even says ok , but of course I just test him.

Let's put it this way, if u are a maid sitting in lucky plaza with a gen Rolex, I guess many people will guess is fake.

But if u are a businessman stay in landed drives a Merc, u think even if u wear fake people will think is real lah! That is why my collector friend does not mind wearing the fake sometime just for fun.
