-"Hi, do your Folex have bubblewrap..."

Well I think the idea is brilliant, as they said -"impossible to generate vacuums with identical shapes"

But can

Cool tech.

Honestly, this will have no repercussions in the rep world. This will only impact the evil people looking to sell to pawn shops (if they have the decode tech), or AD's. As long as they can make something that "looks" close that is all that matters. Not unlike the hologram, rehaut engraving, crystal etching.

At face value, that seems an interesting concept.

Unfortunately, if it can be produced, it can be reproduced.

More like a sophisticated serial number...just produce a large quantity of the same

"Another challenge for the counterfeiters"

So basically, it confirms that the sticker is authentic. So what?

[dluddy]

Most of these Anti-Counterfit measures are to secure the supply chain - Manufacturer to retailer. So the retailer knows they are getting authentic merchandise. Tags like this are normally removed at the Point of Sale.

Hmmm, this strikes me rather like the Emporer's new suit... If each tag is totally unique and impossible to copy/reproduce, that in itself invalidates it as a security medium, because someone would only need to produce something which looked visually similar (I'm sure I could create something similar by injecting air into a blob of epoxy with a thin needle as used by diabetics) and that would then be accepted as authentic, because even the genuined tags would not be 100% identical to each other, only visually similar... Interesting to read about though

I agree this really doesn't have any use unless people start walking around with the reader to scan the code.

"Hey man nice watch. Would you mind if I scan your bubble code to make sure it's real?"

Gee I hope the stickers can't be peeled off the back and stuck on another watch.

Gee I hope the stickers can't be peeled off the back and stuck on another watch.

Somehow, I think that's the point.

Not something I can see being implemented honestly
