i definitely have a problem with that. once there is misrepresentation and fraud it becomes a serious crime.
what i don't have a problem with is policing or worrying about rep goods made for people that know they're rep goods and actively seek out to buy those goods. 1000's of these transactions happen everyday throughout the world. and sorry to say,.. most of those transaction aren't funding the taliban.
So as long as it doesn't affect you personally, you are okay with it. Good to know where you stand...
i tell ya what. plz take your issues with rep goods and the people hawking them and bring them to the attention of the nyc police..they will laugh at you. or lol @ you when u leave. or you can try to bring these people to justice by making a citizens arrest. let me know how the latter works out for you.
don't forget to tell them each purchase is funding the taliban or a war against america.
and lol at all of this. i would be willing to bet any amount of money that everyone here either bought, or knew somebody that knowing bought any rep product at sometime during their lifetime...yes,..that's how long this industry has been going on.
Yes fakes have been around for a very long time. At one time when the US watch industry was king, the Swiss made fakes of US pocket watches. The fact it has been going on for a long time doesn't make it right or make it harmless as you keep saying.
I'm not about to approach the NYC police (why would I since I don't live in the US), but what I won't do is condone fakes repeatedly as you are doing, and calling it a victimless crime. I'm sure you and your "peeps" are okay with this sort of thing, but that is a reflection of your ethics.
I have been in the unfortunate and uncomfortable position of telling someone who has spent a lot of money on a watch that it was a fake, not knowing that what they bought was a fake. I can tell you it's not fun giving that news and I'm sure a lot less fun receiving it. When someone finds out they have been scammed for thousands of dollars, and you keep saying that "no one should have an issue with it" well sorry but that's not going to fly...
cmon...quit spinning this and acting if as if i think it's okay for anybody to get ripped off buy a rep sold as genuine.

that's 100% untrue not not anything i said. i made that clear.
i have no problem with anyone buying one and nobody else should either.
The people that make the watches are the ones funding terrorism - they find patsies to sell their goods, so those people who actually sell the watches still indirectly fund terrorism, even if they use the profits to feed their family. That doesn't make it right.
The mere existence of fake watches, even if sold to people who know it is fake, allows them over time to also filter into the sales market of watches that are thought to be legitimate but are not. Those fake watches do get into the wild and are used to scam people.
You cannot and won't convince us that it is a victimless crime. We've furnished the proof already, and NOT ONCE have you addressed the proof. Just be a big boy and admit we might be right.

and this has nothing to do with my morals which you also want to bring into the equation as well
i tell you something else. the peeps in that vid were
a- a black man
b -multiple asian women
c- an indian man.
basically all of what nyc has to offer. and they don't come to people looking to sell, people come to them to buy, and they know what they're buying.
none of these people are funding a war on a america with a 50 dolla rolex or 30 dollar gucci on the streets on nyc
I physically squint when reading your posts to try and help me understand a) what on earth you're talking about, then (once I think I've figured it out) b) to help me try and decide whether you're just trolling or actually believe the utter dross you're writing.
i work with code all the time and have abandoned capitalization and use abbreviations, slang and other monkey forms of communication. if you cannot understand me maybe the the universal geneve watch box thread is a better fit for you.
I'll bear that in mind and will commit to trying to make an effort to understand your juvenile ramblings, lest I miss out on some important nuggets of information.
Larry, where do you think these fake watches are produced?
I don't know. Maybe in pIoNeErOfThEnILe's basement?
