Make a fake Rolex out of steel, and you can sell it on Canal Street...

But make one out of plastic, and you can sell it at Barney's New York

Toywatch is big with the ladies. A friend of mine has one, it feels cheap.

Attach a celebrity to it and it'll sell. You too can be like Al Gore, Naomi Campbell, and Paris Hilton!

I don't think the press coverage has worked out that the "Italian styling" is an oversized copy of a Rolex made of plastic.

THIS is the watch you take on vacation and then leave in the hotel as a "tip". They look like pure junk.
Bling goes "Ping".
