It's a simple solution to me, remove the band, sell the watch head. This way there is no trademark violation, auction does not get canceled, life goes on for all. I hate the shades of gray. What's right for one should be right for all.
Here's an example: Rush Limbaugh for years touted on his show about the evils of drugs, didn't believe in addiction, did not believe in treatment for addiction, thought treatment was a way for people to get out of doing time for their crimes, thought all drug users should go to prison, throw away the key and good riddance.
Rush Limbaugh is caught committing prescription fraud by physician shopping, to get more of the painkillers he had become addicted to and, broke the law on many counts.
All of a sudden Rush is pleading for leniency. He is claiming he has the disease of addiction and deserves to go to treatment instead of going to jail.
It was very interesting watching how this went down.
I never said this seller is a scammer and they did disclose the band is probably not genuine. If that is the case, which it looks like is the case, remove the band and there is no issue.
