So what you're saying is if a knockoff is expensive its ok that its a knockoff, but if its priced cheaply, then its not ok? A knock off is a knockoff.

Fail.

I'm not saying

No,there's a quality issue. But what if someone made an exact quality replica and put the bugatti logo on it. Same quality, 1/100th the price. Is that ok?

Im honestly curious why cars are fine but not watches. Forget quality, like I said a knock off is a knockoff.


Edit: for the record, I don't care either way as long as the person isn't passing it off as real.

And im actually curious about homage watches, not straight knockoffs. No logos, no branding. Just "looks" like them.

For me its all about whats on the inside of the case. I couldn't care less about name brands, hype, peoples' reaction to a "nice" watch. Thats why a rep is useless to me. I don't care if someone wears a fake watch for the attention, bc that's not why I like them.
