Let's get it straight....
In Response To: Sigh ()

there are two separate issues here:

1) COSTCO is a grey market dealer just like all the rest we know. They sell a GENUINE product and if you want to debate the grey market vs. authorized dealer topic then go right ahead but I'm afraid that your post was possibly giving some the impression that COSTCO sold fakes and that is not the case.

2) The second topic of fakes, replicas, knockoffs, etc... is one that needs no clarification. I'm confident that my viewpoint is the same as 99% of all watch enthusiatsts so it would just be "preaching to the choir". The other 1% (Blake included) just don't get it and they never will. Trying to enlighten these people is impossible and frustrating so I chose to wish them well with their "wannabe watches" and move on.

Best,
Mike
