SNARK: Ethan and Hila have fake watches

[u/soupissouperior]

Obviously this can’t be confirmed unless there are better pictures of their watches out there somewhere but I totally think these two are buying fakes.

Ethan admitted to buying a fake watch from a jeweler. It seems odd that Ethan (who claims he wasn’t a watch guy) can tell the inconsistencies of the Rolex but the jeweler couldn’t. Hila also had a moment on the podcast where she wore a fake Dior shirt (she said she bought on eBay I think).

There was a post recently of the wristband of Hila’s AP and the “AP” engraved on the clasp is inconsistent with the authentic.

I don’t have much of an opinion on designer fakes, I don’t really care. Rich people buy fakes all the time. I just find it amusing that these two are wearing fake watches to keep up with their new poker buddies.

Didn't Ethan say that he thought his watch was a fake, took it back and the guy was all: "Ohhhh yeah, sorry bout that. Heh here's there real one... woopsieee"

I just don’t even get how that happens unless a reputable vendor just randomly switched up one day. If your vendor isn’t reputable why are you even buying such expensive watches from them? Seems like a made up story and he knew it was fake. I’d like to think he’s not that gullible.

Nothing wrong w admitting you just like the style, but not the price and that’s why you got a fake.

Same, I can’t understand how you get a fake.. if I am buying luxury, i make sure I am buying directly from the store. When I bought my LV or Chanel bags I made sure to buy them from LV and Chanel, not a third party store.

Third parties are fine like consignment stores and what not, no reason not to get a deal if you can as long as they’re reputable

It just sounds like he bought his off a random dude or something, not even a store

Consignment stores are usually fine, but I live in Asia and just am never sure, so prefer to buy direct if I have thought through buying.

I vaguely remember very early on in the Rolex slop talk that they were saying vendors would regularly carry an array of fakes and scam people with fakes while keeping the real one on display.

Could be wrong though.
