I don't see anything wrong with my friends wearing a replica timepiece. As long as they are straight up and tell me it's a replica when I ask, I am cool with it. But what really irks me are people whom spend more than 3k on a 1:1 replica and tries to pass it off as a genuine.
With a 3k budget, they can get a decent genuine preowned watch. Granted that it may not be a marquee brand but at least it is the real deal.
