My uncle bought this fake omega while in Turkey, it has since been loosing five minutes a day, three indexes have fallen off from the dial. I personally hate it lol but I'm also the guy who fixes stuff ๐ฌ๐ฌ
So without context, who would be convinced of its authenticity?
I wanted a simple watch that didn't have a battery to replace so I got a pretty nifty looking mechanical ceramic thing and wore it to work in a postal facility for a handful of years. Armani AR1414, nothing too spendy, but I accidentally backhanded metal containers more times than I could count and I could only notice any sort of scuff if I angled it nearly sideways in bright light. I never thought sapphire would be as tough as people claimed until I bought one. I don't even know what it'd take to leave a visible gouge in the crystal but I assume it'd have to be rubbed against concrete lol
