Pugwash

Nice! All you need to finish this off is a palp crown, davidsen dial, a guide dog ...

If you mean Silix-Prime and Precious Time, I have used both these dealers and found them to be excellent.

Damn you! You bumped this topic!

Believe me, this has nothing to do with copyright law and that statement couldn't be further wrong. As signatories to the Berne Convention, the US and Canada share the same copyright laws as the Eurpean Union countries. This has everything to do with trademark laws instead. In Canada, you basically adopted the British trademark law and replicas are not legal. They are trademark infringements and if the trademamrk holder chooses to act against you, you will be facing a criminal, not a civil, case. However, I assume Rolex et al choose not to enforce it as strongly in Canada, as your government isn't as open to corporate interference as the US.

After much reflection, I'd have to go with number one. Incidentally, it's the one worn by Jason "I wear Panerais, me" Statham in the film GTA3 ... I mean Crank.

Not yet ...

It's ok, Ben. I can see that one here now.

I was on a waiting list, which is why my review wasn't just after By-Tor's. Worth waiting for, though.

Update: No, nothing's changed. Parisian members, come join us.

Ok, that'll be fun. I'll make sure to bring my camera.

I hope Precious Time has enough in stock for all the European Rephounds ...

I like that photo. Any chance of a bigger version?

Hey, whatever floats your goat. I must admit I do like this one.

For me, it'll start off with this one: And tomorrow, I'll probably wear this one: Sunday, however, will be one of these two, I don't know yet: In fact, I'll probably wear the SUG if I'm photographing the PO this weekend.

Like anyone would mistake an EP400 for a 7750

If it's 3-6-9, it's a 7753. If it's 12-9-6, it's a 7750. If it's 3-6-9 and it's stamped 7750, it's a copy.

Yeah, but that's way too big (says he, lusting after a Big Pilot even after trying one on )

Damn, you swedes have it easy!

Different dealer? Even that's hard to agree with these days. Josh and Andrew share suppliers, for instance. They share exclusives, too. I'd be surprised if they don't go on holiday together and get together for the occasional beer. Oh, they do.

Fair enough. So you don't get watches stopped by customs?

Nice rep rep!

Is smuggling contraband or counterfeits legal?

Two points. When they're looking for drugs, like you say, and they find counterfeit merchandise, should they ignore it? And, it may not be illegal to own or purchase, but smuggling and conspiring to smuggle counterfeit items over international borders is illegal, so unless you're buying them from a bloke down the pub, you're breaking the law. Why do customs make our lives difficult? Because we're in an illegal hobby and we know it. If they see us while looking for bombs, weapons and drugs, they're not going to ignore us. People, we are smuggling and we should be aware that at the very least we're deliberately avoiding import duty. The sooner we realise we're not the victims here the sooner we'll stop being so complacent about it.

It's the best way to examine a new watch. Besides, it's been a while since I did one of my white shots.

Well, I'm glad I brought a smile to your face. (and that's what I say back to her, too)
