Those cheap watches. Any good?

I have had great luck with cheap watches from Bangkok.
In fact, I bought a fake Gucci for about 100 baht ten years ago, and it still keeps perfect time.

A fluke

A high-ranking government official is in hot water for being seen wearing a $400,000 watch. Not bad for someone on a salary of just $35,000.

His excuse was that a friend, who has since died, lent it to him.

It would be more plausible if he simply said he'd picked it up at the Patpong market.
