    I found out that for five years, I was wearing a fake Submariner, but I paid for a real one. Apparently, the company ziarex makes those mega clones. I tried to find my dealer, but he is gone. I did research, and they have a whole section of watches. They

    So funny, my dad gave me a Fake Rolex in 2010 when I was in my final year of High school and I wore it everyday to school for three months before the bracelet broke and the timekeeping couldn't follow up the real time. Nobody noticed it and I had zero comments about it. However, that's how my horological journey started and today I still have that destroyed fake Rolex in a drawer, as a souvenir.

    My opinion on fakes is clear: if you can get 99% of the real thing for 10% of it then the original isn't worth its asking price. I don't see functional Sky-Dwellers anywhere on the fake market, nor any of my beloved Zenith 1/100 chronos.
    You don't see fake Ferraris that are a 99% rendering of its original counterparts and people worried about them being passed on as originals.

    The whole thing around buying a product (any product, not just watches) and people looking down on you when you choose to sell it, is an absolutely rediculous concept to me. You buy it, you can do whatever the hell you like with it, it's yours to wear, return, sell, give away, set fire to...whatever. I think people are more put out by the insane mark-up and profit this guy made.

    I bought a bunch of Grand Seiko watches years ago. I sold them, and man do I regret it. They were mostly quartz, but they looked amazing. Furthermore, with all the noise regarding the 44G case, the 62GS is just plain superior. Although my biggest regret was an almost perfect Tudor sub. I thought I was robbing the guy I sold it to, then I saw the same watch on Hodinkee years later for eight grand.

    Also, watch makers tune the watch with the crown like that because it’s the position your watch is in most of the time (if you’re right handed). Arm to your side, crown facing the ground, which is the same as putting the watch on the crown on the table. My watch maker said when you sleep leave it on the table with the crown down. It’s how it runs most optimal. (Or so I’ve heard)

    Counterpoint to the crown position, when movements proclaim they are adjusted to 5 positions, the 6th is usually the crown position which means resting it like that makes your watch run minimally worse than usual.
