MY dad was in China, and wanted to buy a knock-off...

He went to a market and asked where the good watches were. A lady left, and brought back a guy with a handfull of "Rolex" watches. He wanted US$300 for one. My dad kept balking and offering $10. The guy kept going down in huge chunks till he got to $20. My dad finally got him to split the difference and got it for $15. The think is a beauty. How they can even make knock-offs that cheap is beyond me.... and working versions, too.
