gavidoc Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Dang Offshore, YOu've been typing this since Friday and I"ve been 2 hours away this entire time in Zhongshan. I'm also in China on business. Wish I would have known. Would have given you my China cell # to give you some tips and pointers when dealing with people here. It can be a challenge being on your own and not speaking a word of mandarin or cantonese. Glad you had a good and successful time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trailboss Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 aaaaah too bad you lost the page, you had so many things to tell today... I don't want to divulgue what he did and what he saw, but I believe OS has now a much clearer view of the rep market in China. The conclusion will be interesting for sure... have a good rest dude, tomorrow you must have full of energie for the last rush take care earth2172 Ahhhh! I think I know who this is!

P_Diddy Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 heard a while back that the Chinese replicated a Ferrari... hmmn I wonder how accurate and well made their rep cars would be, as safety and performance are paramount in cars and you would not normally need that level of reliability in a rep watch, except if using a rep Divers watch for diving. On our way to dinner last nite, he pointed out many products FS...shoes, bags, electronics, you name it, everything which was for sale, was a copy! Their bloody cars are copies...Benz,Porsche,Rollers, anything at all which has "brand" generated sales is copied. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
