Sounds like a dumb friend. If I gave someone money, especially my dad, and they gave me some counterfeit nonsense, I'd want to know.
That being said my dad brought me a fake Patek from Cambodia as a gag gift probably 15yrs ago. It kind of looks like a 5074R, and is automatic winding and actually keeps great time, and by some miracle the day date works to this day. I wear it very occasionally if I think I'm out for a long night.
If it was a fake Rolex I probably would have pitched it long ago, but it is kind of hilarious to me for some reason. At one point I had it on a velcro hiking strap from REI.
