OK, the thing is that if I was regularly running with the executive board crowd, the last thing I would do is show up at any function wearing a replica anything. I am a lowly engineer (albeit a lowly engineer with my own company) so I see lots of guys who think a Fossil is a high-end watch. I also own a Ferrari, so I get to spend some time with captains of industry or at least guys who think they are captains of industry. And they really don't care what kind of watch you wear, other than maybe a cursory glance to see if you "fit in" with their crowd. They usually don't know [censored] about watches beyond the brand. If it says Rolex, Omega, or Tag Heuer on the face then you're good to go.
