I’ve got one. It’s a pretty good fake also — the second hand actually sweeps instead of the dead give-away ticking.

They all sweep now as well as self-wind. The Chinese have raised the bar on bogus watches. I bought a fake Rolex in Dubai. Lasted a good four or five years before the shine wore off the cheap pot metal and the movement itself ultimately crapped out.

I've owned a few counterfeit watches. Some were better than others though none of them work today. I won't buy another one. Seeing fake Gibson guitars from China flood the U.S. market, causing headaches to those of us who buy, sell and collect real ones, I've since reassessed my opinion of counterfeit watches and I'll no longer support any form of counterfeiting, viewing it now as a more serious crime than I used to.
