  1. Let's Get The Fun Back Mates

    All gens? [censored]. You think we can't see that the "Pure Single Malt" font is all wrong and the "21" is at least half a mm too low in relation to "aged" and "years?" Aslo, untill you have the shoulder of the bottle milled to the coprrect shape, you're not going to fool anyone.

    I thought I'd get called on the blurred Cohiba band on the cigar ;)

  8. U.s. Customs With Gen Rolex Question

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I posted this on a gen forum but thought I'd ask here since you guys always seem to have the answers ;)

    I've been living in China for the last two years and in that time I've purchased two new Rolex watches (ExpII & Sub LV). I've brought the ExpII into the US on a visit and I paid the duty (I keep the duty receipt with me).

    If I bring both watches back with me on my next trip to the US, am I at risk of having both confiscated when I pay my duty for the LV? I'll have both watches with me, one has duty already paid and the other one I will have to pay duty.

    From US Customs web site:

    "The Rolex trademark recordation with Customs indicates "Import of Goods Bearing Genuine Trademarks or Trade Names Restricted." This means that genuine Rolex products can only be imported with the permission of the trademark owner, Rolex Watch U.S.A. Inc. A private individual can hand carry one Rolex watch from a trip overseas without obtaining permission. Bring in more than one, and they will all be seized as a trademark violation. Purchasing a Rolex from overseas by mail is also a trademark violation

  10. Real Lv? (tricky)

    Well, I guess I forgot who I was dealing with :D The main resson I read these boards is I've found no better WIS group anywhere :3a:

    You guys are right, it's a genuine. I thought someone would get twisted up by the "SWISS MADE" being over only 3 ticks. I've not seen many LV's like that.

  12. What Watch Would You Wear To China?

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    To spell it out.......

    Ive travelled the Far East extensively

    Often openly wearing trinkets (and watches) of obvious value and in some of the more feared haunts

    without problem

    As I have elsewhere on the planet

    China in my opinion is one of the least agressive places I have been

    BUT.......... Its not the watch, the place, or the circumstance in these situations....... its YOU...

    a fool can be mugged in Mayfair, a savvy can traverse the ghettos of Rio without problem.

    Only you can decide, but the fact that youre asking is perhaps of itself the answer.

    .

    I agree. I've never felt threatened in China. Just being a westerner gives the impression of wealth (with or without the watch).

    I wear my gen ExpII, Sub LV, Montblanc or Broadarrow here. If I go out drinking I wear my rep Sub LV or ExpII :) They might not strong arm you for the watch but if you're drunk and they can slip it off you they will.

  13. Read a true story about JOE and tell all your friends !

    in General Discussion

    For what it's worth, I PM'd Joe a few weeks ago and never got a reply. My PM was not watch related, just a friendly hello and an offer of some DVD's (free, of course) ;)

    I gussed he was very busy and it appears that he's not feeling well also (who wouldn't reply to free DVD's?) :p

    Anyway, I think he's become too busy and he's such a people person that it's not easy for him to feel that he's disapointed anyone.

    Here's to hoping all works out for everyone! :jerry: :gathering:
