I met a chap over Christmas, who was wearing a 'Daytona 116500', whilst doing some tree felling.

I asked him if he wasn't worried about damaging it, and he replied that he was careful, but it wasn't actually the 'real thing' - although he did also have a genuine one at home, that he had owned for a couple of years.

He explained that, when he first started wearing the original, because of the value, there were times when he felt uncomfortable about the risk of scratching or damaging it, or having it stolen. So, he then bought a very good replica, from a friend, which he wears on certain 'higher risk' occasions, with no misgivings. Indeed, it looked pretty good to me, and I wouldn't have known if he hadn't told me. As he said, I never feel bad about it, because it's not a deceit, just a practical solution to protecting my investment.

Can't really fault the logic, but do many people do that?
