    like many countries, if the brand isn't officially registered in china and someone makes a formal complaint, the chinese authorities can't run after the fakers.
    but you're right. china can make quite good products, if they set their mind to it.

    as a chinese manufacturer said,
    "tell me your budget. i can make you a product that looks just like the real thing on the outside. what's inside it, however, is where your budget comes into consideration."

    a few weeks ago, a workplace person showed me his new faux rolex. it looked good on the outside, but he couldn't adjust the date function. and a few days later, the bezel had fallen off.
    this is in contrast to my faux sub (gifted to me), which, after more than ten years, still functioned well enough; i still wear it from time to time, as it wears so nice on the wrist.

    Anyway, I'm shocked at how good the Chinese have become with counterfeit items. I was browsing Shopee and saw designer goods that were almost identical to the original. They even copied the box, dust bag and even tissue wrap! Kulang na lang receipt e It also costs thousands of pesos but a portion of the original price.

    Since a lot of brands are now made in China, I wonder if these are ORIGINALS na naipuslit from the factory?

    I think the West did a wrong move with outsourcing their production...
    naalala ko dati in Singapore...

    madaming nagbebenta ng fake watches. you can bring it daw sa service center and guaranteed na even their technicians will not be able to tell na fake sya.

    ako naman kasi... with branded stuff, its not just owning one. pati yung service and experience while buying the product ibang iba.

    wow! Those fake watches must be expensive pa rin? May napanood nga ko vlog sa GH tiangge, they are selling fake shoes and bags, some are 10k and up. I'd rather buy an original cheaper brand instead

    Same. One of the things I hate the most is inconvenience so I'd rather pay extra for good service and experience. Kaya I apply that in almost everything. Example I don't fly cebu pacific hehehe

    yup. if the watch you're looking at is around 500K... they're selling at 150-200K... pero balik $$$ if makita ng service center na fake yung watch.

    Yes or No
    Why?
    back to the thread topic...

    yes, I think I still have 3 Nike gym shorts.

    I was going to the gym sa San Juan then natapunan ng ulam shorts ko.
    I saw a tiangge selling 3 for XXX (di ko maalala kung magkano). kaso the male shorts were so long (para akong magBasketball nung 90's). kaya I asked the seller for ladies shorts (ok naman, masikip lang sa crotch)

    Sometimes ginagamit ko pa sa gym yung shorts ko lalo na kapag di Platinum ynug napupuntahan kong gym.

    With handbags pag replica they copy the exact design but leave out the brand.

    Hindi ba same lang ang replica & fake?

    Sa lazada and other online store ko binili yung mga designer lighting replica (drop lights, pendant lights , wall light, floorstanding) nung pinagawa namin yung farm/vacation house sa province.

    Covid time nun, mas convenient to buy online. Save me a lot sa time and money.

    Maganda naman ang quality and dififcult to differentiate since high ceiling yung haus ( 12 ft, floor to ceiling)
