Book excerpt: Published by our club, the Philly Watch Society ROLEX REPLICATIONS is primarily a pictorial guide featuring B&W images of counterfeit watches currently being manufactured and marketed, many to unsuspecting buyers as genuine Rolex watches.Counterfeit watches are openly sold on the internet by several China based companies. The overwhelming majority of these businesses are set up to lure unsuspecting buyers who are soon cheated out of a good sum of money. Some sellers go to elaborate lengths to make themselves look like a huge high volume and established business to gain a buyer's trust. These companies run very fancy websites loaded with every type of counterfeit product one could imagine and even offer U.S. based customer service numbers to call which are transferred back overseas or to a U.S. based agent somewhere in Los Angeles or New York. Websites for companies like PERFECTWATCHES.CN LUXURYREPLICA, LUXURYREPLI.RU and HIPHOPWATCH.CN have state of the art websites to make themselves try and look legit but upon researching and trying to contact them don't seem to actually exist. Fraudulent companies defraud thousands of U.S. buyers on a daily basis. For those deciding to go that route dealing with these companies is like playing Russian roulette with a fully loaded gun. Some companies out there however run honest and creditable businesses but they are few and far between. The purpose of this book is to provide reference to the various "fakes" being produced. With modern technology the day of tacky tell-tale quart movement, inaccurately weighed counterfeits is now replaced with high-end ETA replicas that are designed just like the real watches and can fool even some jewelers. These watches command upwards to $1500 and are virtually undetectable from the real Rolex to the layman. Counterfeiters are manufacturing rare, vintage Rolex models that most laymen would never consider being fake because they weren't making fakes back then and they are manufacturing them to the highest quality. This guide will show you which vintage and modern versions are being replicated in today's current market.According to estimates by the Swiss Customs Service, there are some 30 to 40 million counterfeit watches put into circulation each year. This guide provides reference photographs to various models of Rolex watches that are being mass-produced. These counterfeits are mainly produced in Asia and at least 54% of fakes seized annually originated in China.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A highly comprehensive guide featuring hundreds of full color reference photos. The Replica Watch Guidebook Series is designed to help inform unsuspecting buyers of the counterfeit watches currently being produced in today's market primarily by China based manufacturers. Many of which are such good replications that even a seasoned watch collector can fall prey. Those who do have access to today's top quality "Swiss" replica watches are rampantly selling them knowingly representing them as authentic everyday. This guide will help lead legit buyers looking to buy real watches to the knowledge of what model counterfeit watches are currently being produced out there.If you are thinking about buying a counterfeit watch think again. Overseas companies produce websites that are loaded with beautiful replicas only to burn buyers and take their money. These companies exist because people want counterfeit products and they can do very little once they realize two months later that they will never be receiving that watch they ordered and have no recourse. Buying counterfeit watches is just as illegal as selling them, only China does nothing to enforce trademark laws and these "non-existent" perfect watches companies make millions a year scamming buyers who can do nothing about it.

Download or read book What We Want Is Free Second Edition written by Ted Purves and published by SUNY Press. This book was released on 2014-07-07 with total page 320 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Explores how contemporary artists use gifts, barter, and other forms of nonmonetary exchange as a means and medium of artistic production. This revised edition of What We Want Is Free examines a twenty-year history of artistic productions that both model and occupy the various forms of exchange within contemporary society. From shops, gifts, and dinner parties to contract labor and petty theft, contemporary artists have used a variety of methods that both connect participants to tangible goods and services and, at the same time, offer critiques of and alternatives to global capitalism and other forms of social interaction. Examples of these various projects include the creation of free commuter bus lines and medicinal plant gardens, the distribution of such services as free housework or computer programming, and the production of community media projects such as free commuter newspapers and democratic low-wattage radio stations. Like the first edition, the second edition includes a detailed survey of artists’ projects from around the globe, as well as critical essays and artists’ texts that explore the underlying social history and contemporary issues that further inform our reading of these works. This new edition also features a new introduction and additional chapters on the relation of exchange practices to democracy, the commons, object-oriented philosophy, and an examination of the impact of ongoing globalization on the economics of artists’ projects. It also features a significantly expanded scope for the project histories, including work from the past decade and a new section dedicated to artist-initiated organizations and innovative models for new institutions. Praise for the First Edition “If you are an artist, read this book. No matter how you define and structure your practice, the essays within What We Want Is Free will lead you to consider important questions about how you work and what kind of life a project can lead.” — Nailed Magazine

Download or read book Counterfeit Itineraries in the Global South written by Rosana Pinheiro-Machado and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-08-10 with total page 311 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the end of the 1970s, Chinese merchandise moved to Brazil via Paraguay, forming an on-the-margins-of-the-law trade chain involving the production, distribution, and consumption of cheap goods. Economic changes in the twenty-first century, including the enforcement of intellectual property rights and the growing importance of emerging economies, have had a dramatic effect on how this chain works, criminalizing and dismantling a trade system that had previously functioned in an organized form and stimulated the circulation of goods, money, and people at transnational levels. This book analyses how exchange networks that produced, distributed, and sold cheap manufactured products animated a huge and vibrant system from China to Brazil, examining the process at global, national, and local levels. From a global perspective, intellectual property is a powerful discourse that governs the world system by framing the notion of piracy as a criminal activity. But at the national level, how do nation-states resist and/or endorse, interpret, and apply a global perspective? And what effect does that have on how ordinary people organize their lives around this system? Interweaving discourse on transnational traders and producers, national projects, and international institutions, Counterfeit Itineraries in the Global South presents low-income traders not as passive victims of globalization, but as active actors in the distribution of cheap goods across borders in the Global South. Based on fifteen years of ethnographic field work in China and Brazil, Counterfeit Itineraries in the Global South will be of interest to scholars of economic anthropology, development studies, political economy, Latin America studies, Chinese studies, and socio-legal studies.

Book excerpt: ‘If there is one person who is eminently qualified to write about luxury, it is Mahul.’ –Bibek Debroy, Author, Economist, Chairman - Prime Minister's Economic Advisory Council.

Download or read book Cultures of Commodity Branding written by Andrew Bevan and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-06-16 with total page 279 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Commodity branding did not emerge with contemporary global capitalism. In fact, the authors of this volume show that the cultural history of branding stretches back to the beginnings of urban life in the ancient Near East and Egypt, and can be found in various permutations in places as diverse as the Bronze Age Mediterranean and Early Modern Europe. What the contributions in this volume also vividly document, both in past social contexts and recent ones as diverse as the kingdoms of Cameroon, Socialist Hungary or online eBay auctions, is the need to understand branded commodities as part of a broader continuum with techniques of gift-giving, ritual, and sacrifice. Bringing together the work of cultural anthropologists and archaeologists, this volume obliges specialists in marketing and economics to reassess the relationship between branding and capitalism, as well as adding an important new concept to the work of economic anthropologists and archaeologists.
