Lots of prop watches for movies are fake, especially for Panerai :-P
Also, during a watch meet a few years ago (yep they exist), some dude brought a fake Panerai to the meet and tried to pass it off as real. We all knew it was off big time but no one said anything. It was also of a $10,000 model...
I will say that having a nice watch has helped my career on at least one major occasion. I was being interviewed for a job at a hospital a few years ago, and the Doctor asked to see my watch.
He said "this is a very expensive model, can you tell me more about it, I really like watches."
Well, since I knew everything about it, we spent about an hour talking watches, and he even called over another doctor to fit it. Needless to say I got the job, since the watch implied my career experience would match :-P
I know cool story bro, but as an investment, the watch paid for itself.
