I don't orbit close enough to that world to fully understand those aunties' rationale since they're out in HK, but they also have real bags and enjoy very comfortable lives inside gated villas. The article I linked encapsulates their mentality of chasing a deal for good fakes, though they will still go for every Hermes bag offered by their PAs. The way they talk about it feels more like a fun pastime activity than a serious hobby, so it makes for a fun conversation while we play MJ together.
Circling back to watches, their husbands are passionate watch collectors and probably wouldn't let anything fake get onto their wrists. They're the reason I started looking at watches beyond my trusty Apple Watch.
