Even in places where us Westerners may think it's easy (and at some point it reportedly was), like in Bangkok for example, times have changed and - be it due to increased scrutiny from authorities, or whatever
Actually, from my personal experience, in Bangkok it has never been easier to buy high end reps. During/after the pandemic the sales ramped up, even more than before. Besides the usual low-end reps, you’ll find a pretty good selection of high end reps from the known factories in Bangkok, especially MBK Center. Prices are relatively fair, +- the same like ordering from TDs incl. shipping. Picked up nice watches during the last 24 months there.. Frequent Traveller to Thailand here, multiple times per year, since more than 12 years.

But of course, this must not apply to other international cities around the globe.

Nice to know...

Back in 2021 I remember some reports from expats in BKK that in particular at MBK a lot of the old dealers with prime merchandise that used to be there had been decimated.

So either someone had a wrong impression or they're back. 😊

Pretty self explanatory. I was looking on websites for reps and couldn’t find one. Also Reddit doesn’t help either. I’m looking for a reliable rep in the nyc please feel free to give me a message please :)
Take a look at the M2M section. Sometimes there are vendors who lives in your town, or not so far from:

Canal street stuff used to be controlled by Vietnam Chinese groups in Chinatown.
I did have a chance to meet some of these guys in China over dinner and some drinks.
The way they smuggle in truckload of replicas were amazing. They had "special" connections to do that.
Non of the boxes even passed through customs. It was arranged off the commercial plane via military vehicles.
This was many many years back.

Just some real scenes stories I can share...

why do you have to derail the thread?

We're talking about a choice of fat arms or gerbils.
