I can understand why Rolex would do that. They are pretty good wristwatches, probable cost nearly $100 to make, and sell for $3795 in stainless steel. Some of the fakes cost as much as $1000 themselves and are of at least the same quality.
However, I think convicting someone for owning one is going too far, manufacturing or selling them yes, but not for just owning one. I do not believe he could have been convicted here in the US, apparently in Belgium they do not have the protections we do. How medieval!
I think this ties directly into a recent thread, Ryan's post. graywolf http://www.graywolfphoto.com "Idiot Proof" <==> "Expert Proof" ----------------------------------- Ryan Lee wrote:
Saw this as a sponsored link on a Canon forum: http://www.crkennedy.com.au/v1/index.cfm?pageID=465 I was under the impression that they'd usually close one eye and do warranty work on grey goods anyway as long as you can prove when you purchased. Maybe they're starting to really feel the pinch of parallel importers (they seem to markup camera goods lots here down under..). Food for thought? Cheers, Ryan
