NCRich 13,751 Posted August 6, 2023 THIS makes CNN? 130 Canal Street replicas are worth $4 million? https://www.cnn.com/2023/08/05/us/fake-designer-watches-louisville-cbp-trnd/index.html Maybe $50 a piece. I mean really? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fatarms 7,777 Posted August 7, 2023 I applaud them for keeping that watch in particular free from anyone's sight. Good grief. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Intresting 21,699 Posted August 7, 2023 they might have calculated what the rep is worth if its genuine...... so its a value of potential lost sales by the brand owners Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyh7 237 Posted August 7, 2023 It’s the same thing with drug seizures. They are always reported as having a street value of millions of dollars. Street value is code for an impressively big number they made up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deju 1,875 Posted August 7, 2023 They always base it on what the watch is valued at if real…. Makes better headlines for law enforcement and the newspapers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SCShrek 494 Posted August 7, 2023 They shouldve packaged those watches with C-4, they would have slid right on through. Congrats on busting $6500 worth of fake crap. How do you put a "genuine" price on a watch that doesnt even exist...really? Well anyway, I guess I now know what happened to the Rollie I was expecting.....

Buddhabar 4,546 Posted August 8, 2023 @NCRich I start by saying that I don't like this magnificence in watchmaking....but if CNN talks about it, I wouldn't want even the replicas to contribute to subtly advertising the parent company in the end.

What do you think? I'm not a fan of any particular news service. Since the news channels have become infotainment they mostly write stories that keep their target market glued to the screen so they can sell ad space. To be fair I'm not sure there ever was real news, it always had a slant. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brooksy 23 Posted August 13, 2023 Hard to trust anything on the news these days. Who cares about fake watch news in the press anyway, its them aliens we want to know about Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kungen99 88 Posted August 17, 2023 idk if its that I've start to search a lot for watches etc that all my news feed started to alter. however there is one article in particular that keeps coming back. its about how 80 % of all fake watches are rolexes. do you know if this is true? by the looks of reddit it certainly holds true as those ads are mostly rolexes... media and the news sometimes just try to get clickbait right?
