Stunting is a habit. But in reality, there are people in this world who front like they're flossing millions at a time, when in fact they could be—whether intentionally or not—rocking fakes.

Thankfully, a mysterious account on IG run by someone who goes by FakeWatchBustais calling out everyone wearing wild struggle timepieces. And when we say everyone, we mean everyone.

“The Horological Batman"—a name he gave himself—has put Carmelo Anthony on blast for wearing fake Audemars Piguet and a fake Panerai. A list of rappers he’s caught fronting includes Rick Ross, Future, and Soulja Boy.

Fun fact: Soulja Boy’s Audemars Piguet is so fake the battery has run out and it shows the same time (10:25) every time he takes a picture with it. The struggle is so real that jewelers are even sending him cease and desist letters once a week threatening to sue. This just goes to show that you should'nt immediately accept everything you see out there, folks. You could just be looking at smoke and mirrors.

Someone needs to tell these dudes that there are plenty of good options that clock in at under $500. And if they really truly want to stunt in the horological world, they're going to have to put up some serious dough for these timepieces that all cost more than $1 million. Or they could take some lessons from the Playboy of Instagram, Dan Bilzerian.
