Panerai finally clamping down on fakes and homages.

I see TZ-UK have finally stopped the selling of 'marina militare' watches due to threats from Panerai regarding illegal intellectual copyright and trademark infringement.

How long before these other Panerai crown guard copies and fakes are also stopped? I expect the use of the "marina militare' name is easier to police than the distinctive patented crown guard design.

There are some interesting posts about people receiving cease and desist legal notices from lawyers for selling copy watches on ebay and one poster having to stump up over 1000 euros to cover legal fees!

I don't think the homages are banned, especially as the owner makes them.

It's just the watches with 'marina militaire' on the face that are banned.
