I never was one who cared about name brands. I shop generic at the grocery store and when I buy clothing, I just buy what I like and looks good on me. When it comes to jewelry I love bling, but I also like quality, so I own very little jewelry. I would rather have one nice piece than a hundred pieces of crap. However, I have been looking for a nice watch and I had actually figured on spending about a thousand dollars on a Rado, that is until all this crap about our economy started popping up in the news. Now I feel guilty. I did some checking around online looking for replica watches and was surpised at how good some of them looked. Now I'll admit I did not buy one for myself, however I did buy one for my son. I was pleasantly surprised when it came because it looks great! I think I will be buying one real soon.
