In the USA is is not illegal to own or purchase reps. It is illegal to sell them, like the scam sites, i.e Globalreplica, Bestswiss, Bluefakes, etc, too many to list here. As far as me selling one watch to an acquaintance or friend, that is a grey area. Nothing would ever come from it unless the watch you sold was sold as authentic and then after getting caught the seller claimed you said it was authentic.
