Hi, planning to go to Europe in coming months.
However, some telling me not to wear a rep going to Europe as they have very strict rule to rep and very good at spotting one when it is a rep.

I'm from Asia, travel to some of the country in western Europe, safe to wear a super rep like 111 or 390 when crossing the border from being called out?

I know Rolex is strict with bringing Rolexes into the US but that's usually if you are bringing in more than one. I've never heard of someone calling you out for wearing a replica across the border.

I may be wrong but I doubt they spend time teaching customs agents how to spot a Y-incabloc from an I-incabloc.

Yeah, if its on your wrist then that wouldn't be a problem, no one is going to be checking it to make sure it's real.

If you have a suitcase full of them that may be a different story:rofl:

No problem whatsoever, especially because you're only visiting.

In the EU you are even allowed to own a rep.
The selling and buying is illegal, go figure....

Thanks all for your kind response.
But I really heard story like some fake LV bag being called out by slashing the bag with a pen knife and follow by hefty fined especially in France.

Maybe not so on watches...hopefully.

I think you're hearing fairy tales. Customs will only cut something open if they feel that it contains hidden contraband, like if a drug detection dog goes mad over it. They don't go about wilfully damaging other peoples property just on the chance that it might be a fake or replica. They really don't care.

They will probably cut your palm off to take the watch from your wrist.





:rofl:


Do not worry. Nobody cares here what you are wearing on.

Totally agree.

In EU, at wrist, you can wear the watch you want with no problems at all ;)

you think that the police there have so much time for you, they are searching for Drugs and Bombs which are much dangerous than your Replica.

I believe it is unlikely too be called out too but better ask the friendly community here to confirm. Being called out and embarrassed with my family ard is the last thing I want to see...thanks.

for the even super rep BAG, yes i believe it may be called out.
but if u dress up properly enough that indicate this person is afford to buy such branded things i think there will be no checking or catching things.

for super rep like pam111 n v3
Man, i think even if ironman really exist, he is the only one who can spot fakeness within split seconds.

imagine if 10 more years all the technology that police use is superior.
ultra rep must be built.
:D
