So do I, when I can afford to do so. The only scary thing about it, is the explaining have to do later.

Every year I've been here this crops up. Supply might get tight for a few weeks then back to normal. Reps have never ever been better than they are now. Interesting article but I'm not panicking yet.
We could all trade watches among forum members for the next couple of years and still be happy.
Herbicides ARE Pesticides.
Pesticides include Herbicides and Insecticides.....among others.
....Just sayin.
IMHO, this is nothing more than a PR political move. Even if they shut down the entire rep market tomorrow. It would pop up in another country like Thailand or India to fill the insatiable demand for rep products.
In reality I think a lot of fault lies in part with the gen brands themselves. For example 10-15 years ago a new Omega Seamaster was well within the grasp of the average working man who would want it. Now a MSRP on a Seamaster is just obscene, that goes for most of the brands. Some of this has to do with hidden inflation (not shown in govt data) and the Fed Reserve printing $85,000,000,000 per month! Alas that is another story, lol.
They haven't won the war on drugs and they're not going to win it on reps either.
opcorn:She-ite, another 18 months wait for a Tudor Black Bay, that's a bollix, people should be killed!
Seriously though, that's a big fuggin seizure, no small factory that is for certain, and aren't we out of season for the bi-annual clampdown? Strange stuff indeed.

I don't now but it's in a post here last year and had a reference. I also heard thru my sources on the ground in GZ. No doubt there was more to it. It was either China pandering to a specific request from LV/Prada/whoever (these guys were making very good fakes) or someone refused to pay the right people/insulted the wrong ones. Or of cause they stepped too hard on the toes of a major and powerful rival who simply paid to have the problem removed by the powers that be.
Mate I haven't seen your house but no matter how grand I can assure you that "Mr Creme De La Creme" would not consider it fit for anything more than a gate house.
Lol,,,,and after the greedy ass, corrupt politicians here in the home of the far from the free and land of crooks got finished with him, he wouldn't be able to afford the key for the gate and we'd all be wearing Plastic Mickey Mouse quarts with nylon bracelets......

Would be great if it popped up in India. It would eliminate all the misspellings on the watches like the stupid shit on the crpo.
And you can actually call call centers and have George to talk to.
