Fake Watches..

So, I've been fortunate to be having an amazing time in Thailand over the last few weeks.. not my first visit here, I've lost count as my significant other is Thai, it must be my seventh visit here but the first since around six years but it seems to get better and better..

I've just been to the night bazaar in Chiang Mai and came across watches, obviously fake but couldn't help but be impressed. I had a look at some IWC and all the complications worked and I am sure it would fool 80/90 percent of people easily. I said no in the end but has anyone been tempted..? I figured any of them watches would taint my existing collection, itself expensive. My wife was aghast also at the idea of getting one.

I did get some beautiful wooden boxes, hand crafted with the finest wood in north Thailand.. these will neatly fit some of my watches and go into my showcase cabinet.

I have two orders en route from Japan so the more storage the better..

.Bulgari BB33SS automatic plus box and extra links

.1969 King Seiko Superior chronometer 45-8010 with 15 mm KS buckle and new crystal (going for a 'OH')

.Seiko Superior 4883-8001 w/ original bracelet

No to fake. Good on you for resisting the dark side.

In the bad old days one couldn't just order a quality replica watch from the convenience of their own home!
