Its tough to argue with that kind of logic. I can see why Melo' would rock the replica

I can't believe you can see that the watch is any name brand at all. Maybe my computer screen sucks but the picture is a white faced watch and brown strap to me.

Insane someone could see anything different.

Forget the watch did no one even notice that ugly jacket? Possibly 2 sizes too big as well.
Who dressed this guy?

As much as it bothers some, it's not like we all don't know he can afford ANY panerai in existence! His Tat doesn't say CLASSY by any means!

Why? From what most people say, there big issue with people who wear fakes is that they are "posing" and that if you can't afford it don't try and act like you can.

Because to me watches are not about being status symbols. It is all a out the appreciate for the mechanism , the craftsmanship,the exclusivity, and the decoration of the movement. I could care less about "posing" because I don't value people based on their wristware. The richest person I know wears a digital watch because to him they are merely for keeping time whereas I know people who buy luxe watches on cc. So for carmello I don't get the point because everyone knows he is rich, thus not a status symbol, and he doesn't care about the things I mentioned, so what's the point of it?
