Hey Jason

Working in DC I saw more than my share of Fakes since they are readily sold on the street corner and I have since been more careful about who I feel is wearing a real watch, so I won't pass judgetment on the watch until I can be 100% sure (or as close to it) that the watch is real...like I said I am 100% positive all of the watches I have seen were in fact authentic, and heck why not? I have seen kids working at Best Buy wearing Tag Heuers that cost almost two grand, who says the biker guy I saw at the aquarium store last week couldn't afford a quartz SMP, it isn't like we are talking alot of money here in the long run...

As I said before, I was surprised, but anyone who wishes to take a walk around the Boston area, namely Fanueil hall and Downtown Crossing are sure to see at least 5-6 SMPs on any given day...I also saw quite a few of them when I was working in Washington DC..but not nearly as many as here.
