My question is... How in the world do get away with making knock off Rolexes for $40?
Several years ago I wrote an article about fake Rolex watches for a local newspaper. Here is how they exist. In the US it is not illegal to buy a fake Rolex (or any fake watch for that matter) but it is illegal to sell one. In many states owning more than one fake watch can be illegal because they consider that an intent to sell. So these companies mostly set up offshore in countries where it is not illegal to sell them. They also often market them as "replica" watches which are in a grey area in many countries.
