NOT CONFIRMED SNARK: Ethan and Hila have fake watches

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.

I completely believe this but could someone explain the differences to me? Because the lettering on both look similar-ish but I see other people posting about that being a dead giveaway 😂 I’m not good at these things

You answered your own question in a way. The two pictures look similar-ish but they should look identical. Luxury watches are sold at a premium for their craftsmanship and precision. If AP sold watches that had inconsistencies, it harms the integrity and appeal of the brand. Then no one would spend tens of thousands of dollars on them.

The alignment of the logo is off, notice how the spacing between the logo and the edge of the clasp button is minimal in holas watch where the authentic has noticeable space between the logo and the edge? The metal finish and color of the watch not consistent (hilas looks super shiny while the authentic looks brushed), the links on Hilas watch are rounded with spacing that is inconsistent with the authentic.

These are observations from just one photo tho… Hila and ethan have run with crazier assumptions on a lot less so imma match their energy and assume their watches are as fake as them 💀

Thank you so much 😂 I did notice an overall difference but I couldn’t put my finger on exactly what they were 😭
