Finding good fakes can be tricky though, right? I mean, who wants a watch that falls apart after a week? I saw a thing about someone buying watches in Thailand and they broke super quick, ouch!
From what I’ve gathered – and let me tell you, I’ve done some *serious* internet sleuthing – Seminyak *might* not be the absolute epicenter of fake watch paradise, but you can defo find some options. I saw someone mention Bagus Watch. They said they had a good range and helpful staff, so that’s probably worth checking out. Maybe they won’t be the cheapest, but remember, you often get what you pay for. You don’t want a watch that’ll give you green wrist, trust me, that happened to my friend’s cuzzie once.
And hey, keep your eyes peeled while you’re wandering around! I read about a guy named David Bowie (probably not *the* David Bowie, sadly), selling watches right on Legian beach. I assume this is near Seminyak or a short ride away? It does make one wonder what he has available though. It’s always a gamble buying directly from someone on the beach, but hey, if you’re feeling adventurous and are good at haggling, go for it! Just be prepared to walk away if the quality seems suspect.
Personally, I’m always a bit wary of “replica” goods. I mean, is it even legal? Probably not *super* legal. But, hey, you only live once, right? Just don’t be surprised if customs gives you a bit of a raised eyebrow if you’re rocking a fake Patek Philippe on your wrist when you’re leaving the country.
Plus, and this is just my opinion, make sure you are not being ripped off. Like, do a quick google, and see what the cost of a REAL watch would be. Don’t pay like 90% of the cost of a real one!
One last thing: someone mentioned replica handbags too? Might be worth checking out if you’re in the market for more than just watches. Just sayin’.
