Back in the early 1990s I traveled regularly to NYC for business. I used to buy those $20 fake Rolex watches from street vendors. They worked as well as any cheap Timex and were good for pissing off people who were wearing real $10,000 Rolex watches.
LOL, I agree, they are simply accessories, and I buy the cheap ones that look great for awhile and then toss them when they begin to show the base metal.
