First off, what even IS a “fake VVS watch”? I mean, VVS is supposed to mean “Very, Very Slightly Included” – basically, super clean diamonds, right? But then you throw in “moissanite,” which, don’t get me wrong, moissanite *is* sparkly and can fool some people (and some diamond testers, apparently). But it ain’t a diamond. It’s a different stone. So, calling it a “fake VVS watch” kinda implies it’s trying to be something it’s not, which…yeah, it is.
And then you got the whole “Cartier” comparison thing. Like, “Fake Cartier Watch vs Real: How to Tell…” Yeah, good luck with that! If you’re buying a watch that’s screaming “I’m iced out!” and it costs way less than a real Cartier, common sense should tell you somethin’s up, ya know? No offense to Icecartel, but nobody’s selling you a real Cartier with VVS diamonds for the price of a used Honda Civic.
I think the appeal is the “look rich” factor. People want to floss, and these watches give them that bling for a fraction of the cost. I kinda get it, I mean who doesn’t like a little sparkle? But… and this is a big BUT… the whole “fake it ’til you make it” thing can get kinda cringey.
Like, are you REALLY trying to fool people into thinking you’re ballin’ out with a real diamond watch? Or are you just diggin’ the aesthetic? If it’s the latter, then rock it! Who cares what anyone else thinks? But if you’re trying to pass it off as the real deal… well, that’s just kinda… sad.
Plus, let’s be real, the quality probably isn’t amazing. You’re getting stainless steel PVD plated with 14k white gold. PVD plating is decent, but it’s still plating. That gold layer ain’t gonna be thick. It’ll probably scratch and wear over time. So, you might save some money upfront, but you’ll probably be replacing it sooner rather than later.
