Hmmmm....you know, instead of calling these watches "fakes" or "replicas", we watch enthusiasts could just start calling them "Britneys". I can hear it now..."Hey, check out that Britney Seamaster on ebay."

As for the spam, I have a separate e-mail address for spam. I empty about 75 messages a day. The worst ones are the ones from GUYS looking for dates. For the record, I don't mess with sheep or guys!!!!! Now, Britney on the other hand....
