Hmm.. I don't get it either? Wrong section, U are certain U're posting on the right thread? Your last 2 posts here certainly aren't watch related.
seem like U are all stress out, B4 telling ppl to go F urself, maybe U should try out urself that should get rid of the tension.

QUOTE
Fossil was founded in 1984 by Tom and Kosta Kartsotis, brothers, currently Chairman of the Board and CEO respectively, focusing on fashion and value at a time when no company was really doing that. The image the company communicated was vintage Americana, which turned out to be a huge homerun. Quartz movements from the Orient helped Fossil design and manufacture price point critical timepieces, fashion statements that could be mixed and matched, and repurchased when fashion changed, and the Fossil company was born. Since 1984, the company has experienced astounding growth. In 1993, with revenues of just over $70 million, the company went to Wall Street and became a NASDAQ listed company trading under the symbol FOSL.

Licensees
Fossil has been very successful with its own brands and this success has led to companies coming to Fossil to create licensed watch lines. The licensed watch lines that Fossil designs, manufactures and distributes include Burberry, DKNY, Armani, Columbia and Diesel.
"Fossil has done an incredible job over the last 20 years building a powerful business in the US and globally," says Steve Bock, President, Luxury Division, Fossil, Inc. "Given that success, one of the results has been the ability and opportunity to build businesses with brands like Emporio Armani and Burberry."
When working on a licensed brand, Fossil has to make sure that the brand fits with Fossil's approach, and then the creative teams are set to work understanding the brand. Each brand has its own style language which Fossil has to integrate into the licensed watches.
"Generally, when approaching a project involving the launch of a new brand, we'll get together with representatives of the brand concerned and our group teams (industrial designers, graphic designers, project managers, etc.) and brainstorm," explains Diarmuid Bland, Senior Vice President, Watch Product Development, Fossil. "We'll come up with a foundation for product development, always consulting with the commercial side, and the teams flesh out into specific sketches, line art, computer design and more. We have rapid prototyping facilities here in the offices and in our product development groups around the world, where we can build size and shape representative prototypes in resin or brass. Then we work with the factories, then prototyping on a mass scale. From there, we come out with a result we are all pleased with."
Fossil is open to new licensee relationships, but it has to be a good fit or it won't happen. "The licensing goes both ways - we sometimes seek out companies that would be a good fit and we get contacted on a weekly basis," says Kurt Hagen, Vice President, Relic/Michael Kors, Columbia/Private Label, New Licensing. "One thing we are looking for is brands that we can fit into our international network. We look for brands that complement our existing distribution or allow us to tackle new distribution."

i hv a fren who wearing ori rolex , every time we meet out he sure will ask me showing him my watch, even he know that is replica, but he just like to point out the different and show off he is wearing a original watch, maybe that is the way to push up his standard

if you know the product well, you will naturally know whether it is replica or authentic.

example,

Lexus RX350 vs Harrier RX330.

when these two vehicles on the road at the same time, most of the people will say "2 harriers there"

just looking at it? replica also has grade.
cheap ones U can tell easily, like iamsobloodysick said if u know the product well enough, that is if U are looking at the markings or listening.
in fact the real cheapo ones its darn easy, esp those with magnifier on the date.. don't magnify.. definately fake!
more expensive - U may have to put it under a scope and see closely.. very hard if U are not familar with the type of finishing. easiest way to tell is open the watch!

regarding the anology, on cars... ppl can easily afford a RX 330 don't care what ppl say. if U really wanna buy something expensive just to show off and wanna hear ppl say things like "Wow.. real man!!!!" U are shallow.
better do doing something else to make ppl aware that U have the $$.

I doubt anyone owning a mid tier ORIGINAL watch is aiming on 2nd hand value or investment, cause there are NONE to begin with. 1100% of the time, Just lose money!
just see this Maurice Lacroix, if U get thru AD in SG maybe over SG$6K, now thru grey market only SG$2350!
http://www.jwwatch.com/showpro_details.asp?id=38&cat=150

interesting thought... collecting many "brand".. thats a refreshing idea on replica. More like collecting the design, not the REAL BRAND.
