unless you guys are much more into leather quality and fabric feel then you let on.... there is almost no detectable difference between a real and a fake.

Sure I am not saying a $10 prada purse is the same quality as a $1600 one... but once you start to deal in higher end merchandise including fakes...you would hard pressed to find the differences.

All the 'tell tale' signs you guys mentioned above are all incorporated into the higher end fakes...including working prada swipe cards (unless you swipe them at a prada boutique..lol)

Just buy what you buy and use it....period. then when you get sick of it sell it on ebay....make back your money and move on to whatever else you need.

And even when you buy vintage fakes get outta control.... bought a fake hermes kelly bag last week for my wife $1500 usd... lol missing the handle and stains on the inside of the bag its a 40yr old fake even.... real ones go for $25-40k so a $1500 fake that needs work keeps her happy.

Sounds like some of the Rolex Spams I get. a cheap knock off is $100-400 and a Good swiss knock off is $1-3k.

what the hell? If you are going to spend $3k on a rolex, buy the real fucking thing.. just get a cheaper model.

My watch was around $8k, the swiss fake was $2750. why would I even dream of buying the fake when it still costs a few grand?
