"End game" makes me think of dying... and that is no fun. Like ignoring movie spoilers, I really don't want to know what will happen in the end. I prefer to watch my collecting life play out in front of me. haha. End game also implies no more collecting after such a watch is attained, and that is no fun either.
Bronze is beautiful... especially naturally aged. Some folks are serious chemists and can make amazing subtle shades, but others are like Dr. Frankenstein and make a crusty mess! Just say not to over-crust! haha
Hollywood produces fantasies so they see that watch as a prop (a strangely placed one really). Customs agents are less humorous and their job is to literally control commerce and crime (oversimplifying here).
My take is that fakes are dangerous to everyone. When you don't trust what you are buying then you might be less likely to buy it. That hurts brands. If you buy a fake watch unknowingly, that hurts consumers. Nobody wants to be ripped off.... and it is getting much harder to tell these days even for the experts.
I was given a replica watch once, and it looks good, but I cannot wear it in good conscience. I would give it away, but that is like passing counterfeit money to me.... I don't want to be involved. Maybe I'll blow it up for a TV show! haha
