I wear a nice Oris automatic that my wife got me after about two day's shopping in Switzerland on our honeymoon. That's probably the ONLY time in our relationship he had to drag me out of stores. Should that do? :)

I was debating wearing a cheaper watch for theft reasons, but I figured I'll spend most of my time with colleagues. Saftey in numbers...

I just had my 4th anniversery. I think my 5th anniversery present is the dual time zone version of my current watch. It sure would be nice to have 2 time zones now!

So, have you picked up a "rolex" in China? Will it run for more than 2 weeks if I get a fake? Any clue what I should pay for a fake? $5? $20? $50? It seems everything is negotiable. Even Jade at the Beijing airport stores was being offered to me at a discount. If only a nice REAL Omega watch could be had a at 50% discount...
