Exactly! Remember the Chicago AD that got busted for doing exactly this? They were stupid, shady and illegal in how they went about it, but these watches are undoubtedly coming from AD's.

You mean the one AD location with one rogue Chinese employee charging watches to her own credit card and shipping watches to friends? The employee and colleagues were fired.

If these allegations were true, there is no way one random salesperson was doing it on their own. The case was dismissed so it could have just been a disgruntled employee. The part of selling the watch to Chinese buyers is a little fishy...there are plenty of grey buyers in the US to have to go through the hassle and risks of shipping watches to China.

this talk of 'bungs' sounds so 1980/90's, hell, even the Russians have moved on - it now reads like some poor plot line from a BBC drama series i am now retired but my 'business' so to speak started as an architect and when i got fed up working 24/7 and being asked to drop everything to fly to XYZ at a moments notice i decided it was time to re evaluate my life i moved to rural Scotland and started a Sporting Agency offering salmon fishing on my own beat of the River Tay and deer stalking and shooing on associated estates had quite a few clients from the USA now retired and enjoying things |

No, they are actually doing this. They are actively participating in the market. Then they trace the serial number all the way back to the AD and audit the sale to look for patterns. It's only a drop in the bucket volume wise, but they are doing it.
The article I read said other brands are also starting to do this now. Sent from my SM-G986U using Tapatalk |
