You said that it depends on how you look. My reply is that it doesn't matter how you look. People dress up looking like they have a $1 million and then there's people that dress like they have $100.Sorry, don't know what you are trying to point out here, but it could be the language barrier
Look.... this is really really a silly discussion. If there are people who want to go through life worried about getting stopped by airport security or customs because of a watch they're wearing, then don't wear one. What do you want me to tell you? But I refuse to live in fear. I've never had a problem and I'm pretty sure that I never will.
Why should he know? He is a football players, dont expect too much… He probably knows anyway as he is a collector but maybe he had a stressful day in Quatar and just wanted to get back home and already had 10 missed calls as he was arriving, so those things happen.Of course, a CEO doesn't know that, how could he
Schwarzenegger also forgot to declare a watch at customs recently, you think these guys care about 15k?

Because he was the CEO of a „company“ which made more than 150 Million turnover during this time per year. If you are in a business like this you definitely know when you need to pay taxes or you have consultants who know exactly what to do.
Even two Players of his club had similar issues in the years before. Of course he couldn’t know…
It just happens, his buddy Uli also just forgot that he has to pay tax on his share profits. Quite normal, actually. How could he know, he was just a football player and manager.

It is more likely that he wanted to disguise the origin of the watches he was given. You could also call it corruption. But there's no such thing in Germany ;-)
Same ethos here, trouble (since Covid especially) is these days as a generalisation most folks are scared of everything and it's only us older gits that really don't give a f@ck

Miauwww... MIAUWWW!

Getting a bit tired of this but I'll give it one more shot because I can't shake the feeling that at least part of this is a misunderstanding.
First of all I was making fun of the thread by attempting to induce more fear to the fearsome. Especially those fellows who always make a fuss about "being called out". As if that is even a thing. But the irony in my post seems to have failed. At least with you. Whatever - maybe lost in translation. The subtleties of a foreign language.
However, there is one subject that could cause real hassle though imho (under certain circumstances): tax evasion.
That was my point. We all know that it's often the "poor" who dress up in designer clothes. The rich wear things under the radar. Look at Bill Gates. But no matter what: Celebrities can't disguise themselves wearing rags, and the poor pretending to be rich will be sniffed out as well. I am sure those border officials develop a sixth sense.
No need to belittle what others find interesting to discuss. That's not very nice is it.
On the other hand I am also loosing interest. As much as I enjoyed stirring the pot a little.
Agreed
Nothing, all good. I was simply trying to comprehend at what point things got lost in translation.
That's cool. I'm the relaxed type too.
Well, all the best, fingers crossed. Statistics are in your favour. Most of us live their lives as if problems never occur until they do. And I believe it's better that way, otherwise we'd all live in constant fear. Which is pointless as we seem to agree upon.
