Replica watch - repairs

[Phil1]

I was big into spunking money on expensive watches up until about 5 years ago when I realised I really didn't need one anymore.
Gave my dad, brother, and brother in law one each and have 3 more in a safety deposit box ready for my son when he's older. Gets one of his choice on his 18th and the other two when hes 21.
Dont miss them.

Presumably because they like how it looks. Why would anyone wear gold-plated jewellery? Having said that, I'd never buy counterfeit anything that is actually functional, because it's almost guaranteed to fuck up and there's no recourse when it does. Not that it makes a massive difference, to be fair. I've had a Tissot watch for 20 years and both times I've wanted to get it properly serviced/repaired by the manufacturer, i was late because the time was wrong :)

100% this.

I'm hoping to get my hands on an either an Explorer or Speedy in the next year or so, finances permitting. I plan to wear it every day, hence wanting something that flies under the radar. 99.9% of people wouldn't look twice at an Explorer or have a clue what it is.

And there's nothing cooler IMO than a supercar on 100k miles covered in stone chips.

Grab a 1016 explorer or a c.321 speedy

One thing I find quite funny is all of the super expensive brands citing their military heritage, while the modern military all wear stuff like Casio.

where were casio when fighter pilots needs timing with anti magnetic protection?

Show me the law on this, because it seems highly unlikely. Firstly, because it's not actually illegal to buy counterfeit goods, only to make and sell them. And secondly, because there is absolutely no due process. For all they know, I bought the product believing it to be genuine, brought it in for repair, and based on nothing but the say so of an employee of the manufacturer, it is taken from me.

Nothing more than the say so of the manufacturer ha ha ha , it's covered under multiple laws Inc trade mark act 1994 , trading standards act & various others You can go to court and try to prove it's genuine, you also have legal right to a full refund from the seller

Plenty of tasteful watches out there that are a nice homage (see my comment on the Dan Henry above) without being a cheap fake or a direct copy homage ripoff (i.e the likes of Invicta).

It’s the 14270 I’m after - or a Speedmaster with the hesalite crystal.

I started a new business this year which touch wood is going very well so it could be a Christmas present or one year business birthday present to myself.

Casios are awesome. Every watch enthusiast loves a Casio.

Go on then. Where (specifically) in the law does it say that a company that believes its trademark has been infringed has the legal right to confiscate those goods? You can cite a law, but typically a law requires a legal process, it doesn't give power to private companies to seize the property of other private individuals.
