vodkarocket is an unknown quantity at this point
I had a similar thing happen several years ago when I spotted a fake Rolex Submariner. I called my coworker out on it, and he kept denying it...

Bulova is a real brand. Macy's doesn't sell knock offs.

Citizen owns Bulova.

Check it... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulova

Bulova is the real thing.

Felix, too bad that dude didn't just say something like ''it's not real, hopefully soon it will be''

I was at a 6 speed meet, and this pompous f&g saw my watch and was like is that an IWC? I told him it was, and he proceeded to ask me if he could see it.

I hesitated but obliged, the reason I hesitated in letting him see it is because he looked so shady I was getting ready to chase his ass down if he bolted.

To the OP, that is definitely an awkward situation, I've met someone with a fake before, a more stinging but subtle way is to say something like "hmm something doesn't look quite right, it must be a special edition..." and just move on.
