This.

Anyone with any knowledge at all can tell a fake Rolex or fake Royal Oak almost immediately.

Any one who actually knows shit about watches can spot these from 40 feet away, without even having to see your watch up close.

Obviously when the content being faked is screenprinted t-shirts, the difference won’t be substantial because the original is already shit. But if you’re strutting around with a fake Rolex, people just become embarrassed for you.

supreme, bape, etc fakes are completely fine by me. they are generally independent of quality.
a rolex, as mentioned above, is a fake i would not approve of - a rolex isn't a rolex unless it's a rolex.
plus, supreme shirts are technically obtainable if you are fast/lucky enough, so it's not like they retail for $250.

I would buy a Rolex to appreciate its meaningful history and mechanical machinery that took several generations to develop, and not because I want to impress someone. I want to impress myself, and knowing that I would have a fake Rolex in my wrist would make me feel super awkward.

Starting these threads with fake supreme t-s or sweatshirts is also idiotic feeding of logomania. No, it doesn't matter, because it's a t-shirt. Someone in china can have a good t-shirt and screen print a logo in it without anyone but you knowing the difference, but as said before, it's not really clothing that anyone would really care that much.
Let's compare a rea and fake shadow project or Burberry jacket and you can see the difference.

The whole "concept" of fake and real in goods is absolutely idiotic. People who support "real" clothing, footwear, watches etc, will still deny the wrong-doings of the company morally just to save face and say that the company is good. These are people who are egotistical, arrogant, materialistic, insecure, etc. They use "quality" as a way to justify the company even though they know they aren't an artisan and can't determine the ACTUAL quality of the goods unless told to them by the company itself.


People who support "fake" believes that its just an object to wear, you shouldnt give a fuck where it comes from and the whole concept of wearing some name brand bullshit is retarded because it only shows how much a slave you are to a company even though fakes are used to manipulate and lie to the consumer. Fakes trick people who support "real" and vice versa.

either way youre all fucking stupid for believing in any side in this stupid ass argument because (surprise, surprise) the companies in both fake and real industries make billions of dollars while youre here talking about whats right and whats wrong.

No, no, no. Buying "fake" anything usually means you're trying to cash in on that "status" symbol, without dishing out the cash. Personally, giving a shit that someone is wearing [insert brand here] strikes me as incredibly pathetic, but buying fake counterfeit clothing to impress others with a fake ""status symbol"" is even more pathetic. I'm not a walking billboard, so I don't typically wear branded clothing. I almost always prefer to not have any visible logos on anything I wear. Slapping a logo on something isn't "design". It's lazy.

I honestly don't know. I ordered rayban wayfarer from dhgate for 20 dollars and they came with all the paperwork and catalogs.

The tags were even in my native language (it's the national team jersey of a small country).

People who think that fakes are always worse quality have fallen for the marketing jew.

If you have ever dealt with chinese people you would know, say a company puts in an order for 1000 handbags, the chink factory owner will make 10,000 and sell the rest on the fake market. So you can be literally getting the exact same product.
