 "...enough parts to create a million more..." sounds like a lifetime's work, or would require a serious dedicated factory to make so many!

The debate about fakes has raged for many years. IMHO, if he was infringing copyright, or if the watches had "Rolex" on the dials, then he deserved every penny of the fine, and every day in prison.

Don't get me wrong - I own a few "homage" watches (no fake brand names, no attempt to pass off as the real thing). But there's something "creepy" about a $50 "Rolex" that gets me on that soapbox...

What always surprises me is that if these dedicated "fake watch" makers put as much effort into creating their own legit watches and their own brand, they would probably sell just as many and not be breaking the law mistake.gif.

Have a good day y'all!
