You do have to know what you are doing though (e.g. a common problem with fakes are to use iron parts which rust instead of brass/gold/stainless steel, you get the idea).
Dude, you need to negotiate better. I never pay more than $30 for the best quality fakes, and I usually get them for $25US. Good quality fakes are not only in HKG. They travel all over the world. The best prices I have found are in KL, then Bangkok, and even Dubai if you really know what you are doing.
I recently had on a very nice Rolex fake and an authorized Rolex distributor in California complimented me on my watch. Of course if he had held it in his hand he would know it is a fake, but on my wrist no one can tell.
In Dubai I found some really nice Patek Phillipe's. Those are exceptional watches. Yet I only paid $30 each.
I generally buy 5 or 6 at a time which helps lower the prices and my experience (albeit not at a professional level) helps bring out the good inventory.
