Ken,
That's what I would think. However, if that is true, there seem to be a lot of sites on the internet where you can apparently purchase these "illegal" watches. I've read a number of the "legal notices" explaining that these are sold as replics and not as the original item. The seller is clearly stating that these are not the originals. If I then purchase the replica and tell others it is the real deal I might be engaged in unethical behavior but certainly not illegal behavior. You really aren't saying that someone can be arrested for buying or wearing a replica watch?
Legally...yes...one does expose himself to that risk...although the "law" is after the distributors and manufacturers (who usually remain discreetly offshore)!
We have all read about goods such as fake Levi's, High-end watch replica's, high- end purses, etc. being confiscated by customs and the police!
