Laws are broken if someone knowingly sells a counterfeit product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The difficulty lies in a lack of understanding of the law. \u201cCounterfeit\u201d has a very specific meaning &#8211; it defines a product that is knowingly produced or offered for sale<em>&nbsp;with the intent to deceive<\/em>. To be upheld in court, it needs to be shown that the seller was knowingly selling a non-genuine article as the real thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What people buying a watch that are referred to as replicas people know they are not real &#8211; this is reflected in the price and in the product descriptions. If the seller makes a statement that it\u2019s not genuine, it\u2019s not defined as selling counterfeit product.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wristova is an example &#8211; they specifically state that the products they sell are not genuine (the words \u201cclone\u201d and \u201creplica\u201d in every watch description).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">_______________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/wristova.com\/product\/explorer-40-reference-224270\/\">https:\/\/wristova.com\/product\/explorer-40-reference-224270\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" class=\"wp-image-1193\" style=\"width: 600px;\" src=\"https:\/\/audaciouscat.com\/rabbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/superexplorerclone.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audaciouscat.com\/rabbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/superexplorerclone.png 600w, https:\/\/audaciouscat.com\/rabbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/superexplorerclone-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/audaciouscat.com\/rabbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/superexplorerclone-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The watch above is a Super Extreme Replica of A Real Rolex<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The price is $1,099.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">__________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rolex.com\/en-us\/watches\/explorer\/m124270-0001\">https:\/\/www.rolex.com\/en-us\/watches\/explorer\/m124270-0001<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"550\" height=\"900\" class=\"wp-image-1194\" style=\"width: 550px;\" src=\"https:\/\/audaciouscat.com\/rabbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/explorer36-550x900-1.png\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/audaciouscat.com\/rabbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/explorer36-550x900-1.png 550w, https:\/\/audaciouscat.com\/rabbit\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/explorer36-550x900-1-183x300.png 183w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rolex.com\/en-us\/watches\/explorer\/m124270-0001\">https:\/\/www.rolex.com\/en-us\/watches\/explorer\/m124270-0001<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Click the link above to get a better clear view of a real Oyster<br>Perpetual Explorer 36 watch on the rolex.com website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It sells for $7,500.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Amazon it sells for $6,950.00<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00BCYL2FA\/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&amp;pd_rd_i=B00BCYL2FA&amp;pd_rd_w=v7FEq&amp;content-id=amzn1.sym.7446a9d1-25fe-4460-b135-a60336bad2c9&amp;pf_rd_p=7446a9d1-25fe-4460-b135-a60336bad2c9&amp;pf_rd_r=BHG7JNZNFPRKWG8C1PFW&amp;pd_rd_wg=fce2n&amp;pd_rd_r=09e9e45f-eca7-45c1-b4ed-91a6c895df38&amp;s=jewelry&amp;sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9kZXRhaWw\">https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/B00BCYL2FA\/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">_________________________________________________________________<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Captain Convey Rolex Explorer 36 Comment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You can purchase the real deal on Amazon.com ?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rolex.com lists it for sale but I am not sure if they just get your<br>name and information to be put on what a Rolex Dealership<br>calls a &#8220;Waiting List&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>A Rolex dealership &#8220;waiting list&#8221;

I think he said it wasn&#8217;t new when he got it.<br>I asked him what it was worth when he got his Rolex and he said<br>about $5,000. Now its worth about $13,000 he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Why people would spen $13,000 for a Rolex explorer that was made<br>20 or so years ago when a new Rolex explorer can be purchased for<br>$7,500 or less is a mystery to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Not really.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">People are buying used Rolex watches for investments and to impress<br>other people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They are not really interested in just buying a Rolex watch to tell time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you compare the two different versions of the same watch above it<br>is hard to tell the difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Super Extreme

of a real Rolex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If they asked you could say it was given to you by your uncle or<br>something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Or you could just tell them its a real Rolex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For all intents and purposes it is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know what the say. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p

-.5\/+.5 seconds a day vs -2\/+2 seconds<br>a day for a perpetual mechanical watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If anyone notices my watch, the Perfect Watch, and asks if its<br>a
