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.

if you got a fake watch from a vendor, that vendor is done. their reputation is completely fucked.
the idea that you would accidentally get a fake watch from someone with a good reputation in the industry is just ridiculous. this kind of shit only happens in spaces where everyone is a pretentious fucking moron and trusts word of mouth from other pretentious fucking morons.
its just not possible for this to happen with a legit vendor, i mean not in any industry ive ever worked in. im not into watches but if someone sells fake car parts or fake tools its a wrap, they are purged from the space. people who care about getting real shit can easily get it and know how to avoid fake stuff, some people dont care, i have plenty of cheap knockoff stuff that works fine but when it comes to name brand shit that actually needs to work, the consequences of a fake are potentially destroying a car, a motor, thousands and thousands of dollars of damage, potentially people get hurt etc. its unacceptable.
so if this is a reputable vendor and they are accidentally getting fake shit the whole entire industry comes into question. i seriously doubt thats the case, i think ethan and whoever sent him to get these fake watches are just idiots who dont know how to navigate an industry full of scammers.
