You try and bring in a cheap Changi watch now. It will be in the bin faster than it can tick.
The Changi village era I was describing was about was 54-years or so ago in the very early 1960's - and at that time these Rolex watches were the real thing. The Asian counterfeiting trade as we know it today hadn't taken off way back then and the only counterfeit goods I can remember from that time were imitation Parker pens - they were very good copies and worked well!
