Agreed with Nick, getting a RM200 original Seiko 5 also better than getting a fakey watch.
Funny thing is.I've seen fake Seiko 5's selling at RM40.God knows what fake they'll come out with!

the lousiest fake seiko5 is at RM10 only. (pasar pagi eng ann, klang) 
rm40 are "heavier" ones i believe.
I am not sure,but they had a day-date automatic movement with a display caseback.I ALMOST bought one  :Startled:

Gender reminder.

You guys can share your thoughts on fake.
But please don't open discuss the fake price and post commercial link.

i do not condone any act of buying replica watch...in some perspective it is a crime of stealing.

However looking at other perspective, it is matter of demand. Lets look at G-Shock....it is not highly expensive....but you can get a fake one at below RM 30 (even RM 10) i often wonder why at first...till one day i had this conversation with this guy...

he is the gardener at my work place, wrapped around his wrist is the replica model of Tag...i come to him one day and tell him..."lawa jam" and smiled....he smiled back and said...this a cheap one...and he love the design bla bla bla...and we had long chat...

the thing is, i know how much he get paid....and it is quite a low one...and he definitely need a watch...for 100 ringgit he can afford for a watch, he can choose casio, q&q and a few unknown brand...he dont care about quality, he never understand the art of horology, he only want a watch that could tell time, and with good design....so he buy the tag...he is cool among friend and he dont need to mingle with those people who can afford real TAG anyway...no shame to him

goes back to G-Shock story, yes you can get a g-shock for RM 150++ but for someone who earn less than 1k a month...that is 10%++ of his salary....it make more sense to buy a fake g-shock for rm 20...and often it will last for a year or 6 months at least (though u can get unlucky it wouldn't last a day but for rm 10...they dont care)...economically, that make sense....and that make them look fashionable...that combine with their fake levis and dolce gabbana fake t-shirt, they enjoy what they could afford (fake levis that cost about RM 25 is much cheaper than cheap jeans brand like G.A Blue which will cost RM 60++ )

i bought replica when i was younger as i dont know much about watches....i dont do it anymore...but the journey to know a lot about watches though it may sound free, actually cost money....if you are capable of earning less than 1k, it is threatening to visit a watch shop , even the normal one in the shopping mall ....you feel insecure...for that you will never know what the shop could offer, instead you go to stall and pasar malam and only exposed so much with what available there....for those lowly income they are also not well educated to googles thing around...plus there isnt much website on watches with language they could understand...

no doubt, this story is not entirely true...there are people who can afford a real deal but goes for fake one for what ever their reason....

just my 2 cent....
my advice...best not to buy replica....but dont despise those who own one...everybody have their side of the story

yes 100% agree :)
They buy cause of the design, look, prices tag which they can afford and also time telling machine .

Some of them dont even bother on the brand (dont even know the brand exit), i respect them cause they main purpose of watch is time telling + . . . .

Everyone have to agree that fakes are stealing...
I will not call them 'replicas' cause it will make them sounds legitimate....

I'm fine with homage watches but not fakes. Definitely stealing, definitely cheating and worst still it definitely shows how shallow the character of the wearer.

Nothing wrong buying cheaper alternatives but don’t buy one with fake brands as it would put the buyer in the same side as the pirate. Why? The buyer is buying because he wants people to THINK he/she has the original. In my book that’s cheating, plain and simple.

Society is too brand conscious. We should be product conscious.
