Counterfeit watch worth the money?

A friend of mine has a counterfeit watch he wants to sell. The brand is Tag Heuer. It looks great. The price is 300 bucks. Is it worth the money?

No one can say for sure about the reliability of a replica watch. If you simply like the look of the piece, you can take the risk. Before you take the decision, read an article and the discussion it initiated on counterfeit watches - http://watches.infoniac.com/ten-reasons-reject-buying-replica-watch.html.
Yet, the 300-dollar price for a counterfeit watch is not quite reasonable. You can buy an original Tag Heuer equipped with a reliable Swiss quartz movement for about 500-600 dollars. Now, they are available at discount prices. Take your time and look through the selection offered by Amazon: TAG Heuer watches
