>Instagram-savvy version of the fake watches one sees being hawked on the sidewalks of tourist cities.

I bought a "Tagheuer" watch on the streets of NYC for five dollars. At a glance, it looked OK but by the end of a day's wear it had completely self destructed.



I bought a 'Cartier' ladies quartz watch on the street in Bangkok for my wife twenty years ago for five USD and it still works. The band has lost some of its black colour but apart from that it works perfectly, keeps good time, and looks pretty good.

Don't know it it is true but the movement inside claims to be Swiss.
