Bapex 1 Clears Rip Off ToyWatch?
Cool watch, right? Yeah… now where have I seen it before? Oh yeah, I first saw it when my mom ordered one after she saw it on Ellen, and then I saw it again on October 12, 2008 when it was posted on Sneakhype. No, my mom didn’t order a Bape watch… but she did order essentially the exact same thing, a ToyWatch. I don’t know if Bape paid ToyWatch to make their watches, or if they’re using the same parts, but the resemblance is ridiculous. Seriously, hit that “More Dopeness” link at the end of the post and you will see that the dial is the EXACT same, the hands on the watch are identical… and perhaps the biggest tell that they are made by ToyWatch: the time shown on the watch is the same. The bad news: Bape was slightly unoriginal in their watch design. The good news: you can get a watch for half the price that looks almost identical to these from ToyWatch. The ‘more’ bad news: my mom has a ToyWatch. The ‘more’ good news: my mom is a Sneakhype G. Available now at bape stores.
