In a word -- YES! Replica watches are, in fact, counterfeit and therefore are ILLEGAL. Any product that includes copyrigtht and/or trademark names or logos (without the copyright and/or trademark owner's permission) is considered to be counterfeit. On January 17, 2001, the U.S. District Court in Columbia, SC, charged two individuals with selling allegedly counterfeit versions of Rolex watches. Their website claimed the watches to be "replicas".

This has been a big misconception regarding Rolex watches, "sweeping" versus "ticking". And in the past people used this as a method of identifying counterfeit Rolex watches. The truth is, genuine Rolex watches do, in fact, "tick". However, they tick at around 5 to 6 times per second, so it gives the illusion of "sweeping" or "floating" around the dial. If you watch the second hand with a loupe you can see it. See similar questions...

illegal operation, often seen in error messages, is a statement to the operating system (Windows) or an instruction to the CPU that specifies an operation that is unknown to the operating system or processor and that therefore can't be performed. The result is that the operating system or processor usually terminates the program that made the "illegal" request. If that program was an application that you were using, you may find that data you were entering was lost. See similar questions...
