Same here.

I asked myself those questions years ago and in the meantime I became a frequent traveller and never ever was questionned about such things.

I'm pretty sure it's pure marketing from the Luxury Industry to make believe that customs are strict with replicated items.

They have no time to check for such things as their core business is now to capture as many luxury perfume or beauty creams bottles over 100 ml as possible so they can share them among the staff and sell them on the sunday market!

In most of the EU, security controls aren't even performed by customs anyway but by private companies.

+1. I also believe its a marketing ploy by the luxury brand makers, loosely enforced by the customs officers. Like someone mentioned, if its a super obvious tacky looking rep, saying "LOREX" on the dial, avoid wearing. Else, whether you are wearing a gen or rep becomes entirely a moot point during any unlikely confrontation by the customs officers, unless they start employing a dedicated horologist stationed 24hrs at the airport with a loupe to scrutinize every watch on every wrist? What is the likelihood of that happening?

PM sent matey!

I bought a V3 diver from the guy at a steal price on the other rwg forum, he was banned right after i paid, and he still went ahead and mailed the watch, hes not a crook or a scammer, just his luck on forums i guess, i personally didnt see anything wrong done by him.

PP dispute wouldnt do any good either, just ask him for a refund if you dont receive the strap by then.

One thing I like about RWG is that members, like yourself, always seem to be very understanding and not quick to condemn someone just because he got banned.

I do not know why GSW got banned, neither is it my business. I just observed that he seemed to be stand up guy when it comes to sales transactions and he always had interesting pams to offer.

Ok mate...If you say so. I guess I'll have call off the engagement now. ***Sigh***

She doesn't seem to mind.

On a camel, horse or elephant, thats ok mate. On a man, trust me, she WILL mind very much.

This young lady was asking the same question.

Man, thats grosteque. lol. If you had nuts like that, a visit to the doc is warranted, immediately. :lol:

Between you and TeeJay, I am split regarding who to hail as the king of nuts.

What can I say.. my temperamental, insane, humble, very capable and resourceful friend?

If I had a hat or two I'll take them off in deference to you bringing one of my favorite reps to an entirely new level.

very nice indeed

Cats, the last I saw him was on the shout out box, where he was informing the community that Noob would be releasing a "significantly updated" Pam 111.

I do hope you get this resolved mate.

chicks

Did you check with the admin why he got banned?

I am kinda surprised to see your post, as I saw him online earlier this week, and I thought the GSW/Rockarep drama is long over.
