Who in their right mind would give over $200 for a cheap $20 watch with a sticker on the dial if they didn't? You can buy a decent 21 jewel railroad grade pocket watch for $250 if you keep your eye out. These kinds of watches are cheaply made, they keep terrible time, and don't last very long.

If you were going to spend this kind of money and knew it was an obvious reproduction / fake why wouldn't you buy a nice high quality vintage watch for the same kind of money then have a decal made for it's dial? That would certainly make a lot more sense to a knowledgeable buyer.
