I think that manufacturers are up-to-date about new replica modes, i have seen several articles on magazines regarding those question. Classic manufacturers are trying to make a business plan to un-mask all those "bad" fakes, but they had a of of hard work nowadays, with such high quality reps.
I heard about it, but i wonder, if manufacturing of ETA movements are so easy to control how can be allowed to export nearly 3 times pieces of ETA models than Original orders.
I think that's something to do with the same business, ETA selling business is growing, and Gen brands are going more appreciated by people that can afford it. Maybe the future can became more transparent about reps. i mean maybe we will see in a future something like "official licensed replica".
What do you think about it?
