Chris Williamson And His Seiko Presage Cocktail TimeChis, who is from Toronto, is passionate about both replica watches and cocktails - so when he found out about the Seiko Cocktail Time, he had to have it. He finds making cocktails calming and therapeutic, and that a glance at his fake watch can take him back to that moment. Cocktails, and the fake watch by extension, also remind him of his grandfather ?and his penchant for martinis in particular.

Yiming Lu And His Tudor Black Bay Fifty-EightA recent college graduate living in Atlanta, GA, Yiming wore a Mikey Mouse fake watch as a child and became more interested in replica watches as he gold older. He got this Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight for himself for his 21st birthday. He likes its robustness and versatility - and he hopes to have it on his wrist when he travels more of the world and explores the unknown.

Raymond Bock And His Vintage Rotary DeluxeRaymond is a biomedical science student in Johannesburg, South Africa. This Rotary Deluxe was a gift from his grandfather and has been well worn through the years. What makes it so special to Raymond is the hand engraving on the back of his grandfather's name and the date 2/11/1959 ?the day his grandfather both received his first paycheck and bought this watch.
ADVERTISEMENT Kelvin Duckett And His 'Souvenir Of Islamic Republic Revolution 1979' WatchKelvin is a Brit currently living in Los Angeles. When he was 24, he was the news editor for Peter Jennings on World News Tonight. In 1980, he was sent to Tehran to cover the Iranian hostage crisis.
