Bought a “Superclone” Rolex from a TD… Lost My Job and Wife Instead

So, like any financially responsible watch enthusiast, I didn’t drop $15K on a real Rolex—I copped a 1:1 superclone from a TD in China. Passed all the QCs, even had the movement inspected by this sub’s finest keyboard watchmakers. Flawless. I was unstoppable.

Started rocking it at work, feeling like a boss. Even had the perfect “Oh, this old thing?” response down when people asked about it. Then one day, my boss—an actual watch guy—catches a glimpse. Says, “Nice Pepsi, didn’t know we gave out bonuses that big.”

I play it cool. “Oh yeah, treat yourself, right?” He laughs. Says, “Let me see it.”

My soul leaves my body. I know it’s a perfect rep, but this man probably bathes in OEM casebacks. He pops it off my wrist, inspects it like he’s an FBI forensic analyst, then just smirks. I knew I was cooked.

Next morning? Fired. Something about “integrity” and “trust issues.” Bro, I just didn’t wanna be financially irresponsible. Whatever.

Go home early, wife asks why I’m back. Tell her the truth. She stares at me for a second and then just says:

“Wait… so if the Rolex is fake, is the AP fake too?”

I panic. She starts going through my collection. Patek? Fake. Omega? Fake. Cartier love bracelet I got her? Superclone.

Then she hits me with, “I can’t believe I married a man who LARPs as rich.”

PACKS. HER. BAGS.

She was gone within the hour.

So yeah. Now I’m unemployed, single, and all I have left is a $500 rep that’s apparently good enough to fool this sub, but not good enough to fool my boss or wife.

TL;DR: RepTime TD made me homeless.
