If someone asks "if its real" I usually get indignant and ask them what good a fake watch would do
If someone asks if its a rep I might tell them, or I might not.
If they have to ask they either don't know or don't care so my answer isn't really that important.
Only another replica nut, would know weather or not a rep is a rep and I wouldn't have to tell him.
Just because your in the service industry doesn't mean you can't have a nice watch!
I have had expensive gens over the years, I would rather drive a pinto and wear a rolex than drive a rolex and wear a pinto!
