A man cam, telling us that he has a friend, owner of a real Cobra, not a "replica". He also told us that he owned a Real (not replica ) GT40. And he kept on talking about replica and "real" things.
Before leaving, he looked at his watch and told us:" it is 11hr 21min , I must leave and see, I bought this real Brietling for Christmas".
I looked to my japanese plastic watch (but I know that it keeps the time accurately) and I told him:
Well, it is only 11hr18min and even if you have a REAL Brietling, your hour is not accurate......
It is good to have a replica or not the "real thing" but if it works fine, it is excellent.
Yes but is your watch digital or analogue? it has to be analogue, if you go digital you might as well put a chevy in your cobra
