@fakewatchbusta / @the_rolex_enforcer

Although they are separate accounts this tandem often work as a team, busting all those who flaunt fugazi watches.  So if you’re looking for laughs and exposed wannabe ballers these are the accounts to follow.   However, lately the busts have been getting pretty big as some known celebrity jewelers and celebrities have been busted rocking fake Rolexes and Audemars Piguet watches.  As for each account The Fake Watch Busta usually breaks down his busts by pointing specifially what makes a watch a phony.  In fact you almost feel like you’re taking a horology class.  The Rolex Enforcer meanwhile makes his busts in a more comical way with creative verbal descriptions of the punishment his victims should be suffering for posing with knock-offs.

@crimebydesign

Unfortunately this account did a reboot and deleted tons of awesome photos and quotes.  However, be patient and follow this clothing designer based in California.  The posts are very edgy and the quotes are very blunt.  Although many of the photos are sexual in nature this account knows how to walk the line so it never comes off as trashy.  In a nutshell, Crime by Design has it’s finger on the pulse of today’s culture and brings it to your screen one post at a time.
