Basically, from what I gather, the Fethiye market seems to be *the* spot for snagging yourself a “Genuine Fake” – that’s what one person called it, LOL. I mean, isn’t that a total oxymoron? “Genuine fake”? It’s like saying “diet cake” or somethin’.
Anyway, apparently, there’s this shop near the mosque – “The Genuine Fake Watch shop,” which sounds like they’re not even tryin’ to hide it, lol. People seem to be pretty happy with the Breitlings they sell. And someone else mentioned getting an Omega Seamaster there. The general consensus seems to be: you gotta shell out a bit more dough to get something that doesn’t fall apart after a week. Makes sense, right? You get what ya pay for, even in the fake watch game.
I dunno, I’m kinda torn. On one hand, I get the appeal. A Breitling for, like, a fraction of the price? Who wouldn’t be tempted? But on the other hand, is it really worth it? Like, do you *really* need a fake watch to impress anyone? I kinda feel like it’s better to just rock a cool, affordable watch that’s actually *real* than to try and flex with a fake. Unless you’re just looking for a beater watch for, like, when you’re doing gardening or something. Then maybe it’s a good idea.
Plus, I always worry about the whole karma thing. Like, supporting counterfeiters, is that really a good thing? I mean, probably not, right? But hey, each to their own, I guess.
And then there’s the whole “Fethiye Market” thing in general. I’ve heard it’s supposed to be good for fake clothes and bags too. This “new to Turkey” person was asking about the best place to get these goods. So, maybe it’s a one-stop-shop for all your fake designer needs, lol.
Honestly, tho, I think it’s a gamble. Some people say the quality is great, other people probably get stuck with watches that stop working after a day. Just be careful and don’t get totally sucked in by the promises of luxury on the cheap. Remember the old saying: If it sounds too good to be true, it probly is.
