how many for the POS bin??
so looking at all of these fakes on ebay, it made me wonder...how many fakes are there to authentic Rolex watches??
does it outnumber it 2 fakes for every 1 authentic?...i've always wondered i know most people who have rolex's do not sell them once they get them, so you cannot go just off what you see on ebay and such. (i stuck this in the "watch out" section just because i felt it was an interesting fact to know if anyone does, and so we can get an idea of just how many fakes there are in the market.)

There must be more fakes made then real ones . Most will just end up in the bin because of the poor quality and yes some may end up for sale on Ebay and alike .
To me each fake is one too many , but they have been around for a long time and they not ready to go away . Counterfeiting is everywhere , just look in the garment business . At the end of the day that kind of counterfeiting is only economically spoken dangerous , but with counterfeiting pharmaceuticals it goes on to a different level . |

I remember seeing statistics showing a 5 to 1 ratio a couple of years ago.
That number has probably gone up significally since then. |
