cornerstone Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Hey, what did that cardboard box ever do to deserve the shredder treatment....? By the way, the guy in Vancouver wants his shredder back now (in dreadful taste).... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Would have been funny though if the camera man had dropped his camera into the shredder!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Those watches aren't single orders, you can tell by the trays. That's a bulk distributor order, probably all canal street [censored]. No great loss in my books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KB Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah that was my first though too but if you go back to the begining you will see lot's of individually bubble wrapped watches. Ken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pugwash Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Yeah that was my first though too but if you go back to the begining you will see lot's of individually bubble wrapped watches. They looked factory-wrapped to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 It was replica bubble wrap. The Germans hate that. The bubbles only go pfffft rather than 'pop!'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwoTone Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 It was replica bubble wrap. The Germans hate that. The bubbles only go pfffft rather than 'pop!'. That's because rep air was used to fill them... TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWATCHman Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 They got a hold of a couple of containers in Hamburg harbour. Most of them were Adidas and Nike shoes but one was full of watches, mostly breitling. I guess that's the stuff being shreddered. So if none of the German members ordered a really big load recently, I would expact that stuff to be street merchandise. Bubble wrapped or not.

Raijor Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 Doesn't look very impressive - 1 guy - 1 box of reps and recycling shredder - a publicity stunt to make it look like the authorities are doing something about reps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewightstuff Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 my own thought was that this isnt very environmentally friendly. tut tut tut. seriously, why was that guy bothering to smash the crystals individually given where they were going. bet be beat off to it later on the TV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a sapphire tester. Those watches passed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJFlash Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Personally I preferred the steam roller pictures crushing the reps in China! On second thought, maybe they could first grind them all up; then crush them with the steam roller. ...then perhaps a dose of napalm in case any survived.

jfreeman420 Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 They used to do this on 5th ave. in NYC right in front of Cartier. New Yorkers use a steam roller. They know how to have fun!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMWrolex Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Was it really necessary to stab the crystal if it were goin through the steamroller anyway? It's like out of a scene from Dracula jesus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
