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

: 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 ......

Nothing wrong with the "valid" look-a-likes such as Invicta, etc. At least they are upfront about it and you know what you're getting. Just look at how car companies copy each other while adding a smudge of a difference. Totally acceptable. I like Invicta watches. In fact, their legal copies are a flattery to the real deal.

Now if those companies tried to leverage the name by adding a registered label or trademark then it gets criminal. Then no mercy should be shown to them.
