here is a very public demonstration of why it is necessary to lock down people wandering around with high resolution cameras who may, or may not, be part of recognized media. It looks like a real one on the arm of a distinguished and high ranking Indonesian general..... But no! Read on! He publicly
I more or less live in Indonesia, and have spent 20 years here. Military generals are extremely powerful and influential (and many are extremely wealthy people) in this country. Quite a few have successful businesses and have personal networths in the hundreds of millions. Don't want to get into the details, but it is what it is i suppose. If it was my guess, the watch is very real. It makes more sense to destroy a US$100k+ watch than risk being investigated and have millions of dollars exposed
Maybe he had someone find him a fake just for the publicity stunt of throwing it on the table.....or like you said, maybe he didn't care and threw his real one on the table as well.
I still don't by the restraint of high res pics, once one is sold it can get out there, someone can see it on someone's wrist and take a pic, I absolutely don't agree with not letting people take pics or showing your watches. fakes are here to stay people, as bad as that is. and they don't make them exactly like the real watches, too expensive.. Anyway, that story is crazy, I kind of hope it was a fake that was destroyed..... Crazy story
Is he being pursued for having purchased the "fake"?
