how many in your collection is real?

As with the internet and any kind of website forums, words can be misinterpreted so to avoid any misunderstandings, can you please clarify your statements.  Are you joking or are you seriously implying fake watches in tony-cn's post/pics. 

**Keep in mind our Code of Conduct regarding TONE:

Tone: Please keep the tone of the posts courteous and respectful. Think of this as a virtual cocktail or dinner party - don't write anything that you wouldn't say to someone in person. The anonymity of the internet is NOT an acceptable excuse for boorish or rude behaviour.

i would definitely say that to his face. guess some ppl jsut do not have any manners and thus deserve to get in return what they serve.

Hello terrence.yap

That's why I asked for a clarification.  Once again please keep the post civil.

to make such a comment about a GTG in Shanghai.We all know about the problem concerning fake products coming out of China and other countries and it's not something we condone. This is due to unscrupulous individuals who exploit the highly skilled and cheap labour offered by these countries to benefit themselves.

Why this is continuing boils down to a simple fact : the huge demand for these products, as some perceive them to be well made and good value at a fraction of the cost of the genuine product.

Who are these buyers who encourage and support this trade?If you have visited these establishments that sell these fake products in China and even on some online sites, you will find mainly overseas tourists/buyers who may or may not consider the implications of purchasing such a product.To them it may be a cheap souvenir or something that they may pass off as the real thing in their home country.

The Chinese people in general have a penchant for name brands products and most would not be seen dead in a fake. Many high end consumer products would be in dire straights if not for the appetite and high spending power of this nation of 1.3 billion. In HK,as in other parts of the world the Chinese consumer, especially in the high end market has been the steadying factor since the financial tsunami. Whilst others have held back ,they continue to support and maintain the health of the luxury sector.This is a known fact and this is why many businesses and countries are making a tremendous effort to get a slice of this giant pie.

So to imply that a Panerai GTG in Shanghai has fake watches is an injustice and an insult to those present.It also shows the naivety of the poster and IMO an apology is in order.

my first reaction when I read that post was "is he for real?"

kudos to Dr Ming and others...

.

Seriously.

 

I mean I know them by reputation...

And I can seriously tell that they are honorable guys.

Some of them are even friends.

So I imagine how much they can be injuried by such accusations.

Ben, you already got it, my answer is not addressed to you...

Best,

Nicolas

there's no fake  watch in this SHANGHAI  GTG.

 

 

It is because the international market demand is big..........hahahahaha

I Like!

Thanks for sharing, Tony.

...this great GTG happened in Shanghai, PRC, doesn't necessarily mean that fakes were bound to be present on the floor.  Yes, being a person of Chinese heritage, I cannot deny (nor disprove) the allegation that the PRC is notorious for producing counterfeit products, however, simply linking this allegation to the fact that this Panerai GTG happened in Shanghai, so there must be fakes present is simply an illogical and insulting conclusion to anyone, not just the folks who attended this event.  If one has an allegation to make, it's suggested that one has at least some form of evidence to prove it which stands up to the investigation of the moderators, otherwise one will be shot down very easily.

As the above had mentioned, we here are civil.

Great GTG by the way, certainly an eye-opener

Thanks for sharing them again

Love those 47mms

Thanks for posting.

 

Saludos!
