 When I was in NYC last month I was sorely tempted to walk over to the "briefcase" guys with the fake watches at the Seaport. But I figured:
1. I would get ripped off
2. If I did buy one I would know it was a fake
3. I would prefer a "homage" with a known pedigree (and warranty!)

I just couldn't do it. When I got home I bought a completely original Swatch Fun Scuba and got a great watch that is totally cool. Plus I have a clear conscience.

As much as I want a Heuer Carrera, I'll wait until I can afford a real one rather than going for one of the fakes that I have seen on so many "replica watch" websites. I am always lecturing students about not stealing music through peer-to-peer websites. If I bought one, then I would be a hypocrite because ultimately fakes are stealing. JMHO.

Cheers,
