OK, I know they are fake as in not real Breitling watches, but what i meant to ask is are they fake copies of actual watches, or just fakes? Because, technically, if they aren't fakes/copies of any other "real" watches, wouldn't that make these originals? ![]() |

They are not an accurate copy of any genuine Breitling model, if that is what you are asking. |

Quote: are these even knock-offs of actual Breitling watches, No, they bear no resemblance to any genuine Breitling.Quote: and secondly, does anyone know if it is illegal to sell/own a watch that is not an actual copy of an original? My understanding is that in most countries, it is not illegal to buy/own fake goods. It is the selling of fakes which is illegal.Quote: Apart from a trademark issue, using the Breitling/Bentley name, if it's just a made up watch of left over bits and pieces, or some generic watch that they stick brand names too, does that infringe any copyright other than using the name? No. The watch is a figment of the imagination of a designer in China and could just as easily have Rolex/Omega/Tag etc on the dial.Quote: And in today's market place, where I can buy from many internet stores selling replicas, is it something i should be concerned about? So long as you don't plan to sell it, you've nothing to worry about. Just don't take it into a Breitling dealer or expect anyone here to admire your watch! ![]() My first "Breitling" was a POS knock-off from Canal St, NYC but it only fuelled desire for the real thing and within 12 months I owned a genuine one. Start saving! |

would a $3 note be fake - or would you call it a homage ? |

Cheap nasty fakes that not only look nothing like the real thing they are ugly. It is also against the rules to discuss them and I am locking this thread and your other one before the replies start getting a little more 'direct'. |
