if I have understood your post correctly – and as somebody who was involved in helping watch companies to fight against fakes – I believe it is illegal in many markets to use a brand's name or logo on a product that is not authentic. Any lawyers here can probably tell us whether or not such activity constitutes a breach of intellectual property law. If it does, then IMHO there is no way such advertisements should be allowed anywhere on ThePuristS and you are entirely justified in following the forum guidelines - perhaps you would be at fault for condoning such activity. Lawyers, what do you think?

The current rules are fine, but maybe needs to be discussed..

You are 100% right to ban strap ads Anthony...
...otherwise CM can be a chaotic place to search for watches. Best Ahmet
I like that your CM forum is not full of aftermarket strap.......
sellers. As far as the arrogant comment goes, a lot of the reason why this is my site and group of choice is because there is a lack of arrogance. You and the other moderators I know are the best! Tony
