If you're a watch enthusiast, yes I agree.... But the vast majority of the population are not and that's where the grifting comes in

MVMT is shit, trying to dupe the masses into another horological grifter scheme. Two younger guys in my office wanted to purchase them and I had to give them a bit of an education as to why they should avoid them. 

It says that I'm a cheap bastard

Bingo!

Looks like the gang's all here

Fakes in movies or TV? Don't care, it's all fantasy.

Fakes in real life? Verboten

There is another discussion going on about Islander watches. A lot are homage, and I would go with them vs. a micro brand that might not be around a year later (depending on how established they are)
