Nothing wrong with insulting someone who just gave you a fake watch. Unless he knew it was fake before he gave it to you he shouldn't be insulted.
@foghorn I don't know about you, but I don't know anyone that can just give away something that might conceivably be worth 10s of thousands. Clearly my friend knew it was a fake, they just gave it to me because they know of my interest in watches.
