I was doing a Rolex search online the other day and ran across a site of a company called Global Replicas and was shocked at how blazon they are about knocking off the Rolex. These must be some pretty nice copies, as they’re selling the 18k solid gold models for $3,000. If you read John Brozek’s book “The Rolex Report”, it appears their very large list of features is in direct response to what John says to look for in a fake. Anybody know how these guys get away with this?

It is very annoying. I guess it is up to Rolex to chase down these operators. It might be very difficult to do so. There is only one Rolex and there are many, many fake merchants on the internet and around the world.

I'm pretty sure Rolex has done a lot of analysis on fakes and when, how and to what extent it is or might hurt them. Possibly Rolex have priorities and budgets for different aspects of their business e.g. making great watches better is a higher priority than fighting the sale of knock-offs and so it allocates it expenditures accordingly.
