In Response To: Copy designs ..... ()

The only reason why I would agree that fake Omega & Rolex watches should be outlawed is because there are some criminal elements out there who try to sell them as real watches. I don't have a problem with the other watch brands you mentioned (Invicta, Sandoz, etc., etc.). As long as it's CLEARLY indicated that the designs of the watches they manufacture are copies.

: Greetings ...... I to think that fake Omega
: & Rolex watches should be outlawed. The
: only way to stop these rip-offs , is to STOP
: buying them. Now let me ask this, how do you
: feel about other brands that copy the design
: of top end watches ? Brands like
: Invicta,Sandoz,Chronomat,CTI,Croton etc....
: that all make look-alikes of famous top end
: watches. All to often you'll see
: Submariner,Daytona,Speedmaster & Bond
: watches that are just copies, out on the
: market,why? I can only think that these
: firms have a poor design staff . They also
: must be selling them ,or they wouldn't make
: them. Your thoughts please ......
