He's allowed, because Seiko can't be bothered to chase a minor thief like him. Or anybody who makes an aftermarket dial with "Seiko" on it.

Tim it is easy to see no one will go after them at all so they continue to make their couple bucks from those that think that these are really cool to have. Then the people that make customized dials in different areas struggle to me their buck also. The trick to all this is it is done and very cheap to have. The competition is not really there for these guys they have the world and continue to make a few dollars and they are satisfied with it. Even a few dollars does smell good if a area has none or not enough.

I guess if he's going to produce illicit goods, I'd prefer him to produce stuff that even a casually informed person can ID as illicit.

I don't understand...he's obviously has the means to make any dial design he wants, why slap SEIKO on them? Come up with some cool logo and sell them as LOYKO, or something...

LOYKO made me LOL
I'd say this is a problem, especially since the printing looks pretty good and the rest of the watch may be genuine seiko parts.

The one that would not only go after him but also fine him would be Disney.

A simple Cease & Desist letter from their attorney, with a serious threat of legal action, is not much of a bother. But then again, who knows, perhaps they have...and he just ignores it? |

Now those are some down right nasty looking watches! Actually, apart from the copyright issues and the fact that they are so reviled here, I kinda, sorta like a few of them. I liked this one when it was on the bay a few years ago. Speedtimerkollection, I think. I wish I had grabbed it....  |

Haven't seen Pete chime in yet. He's one of Loys biggest fans! Suspect he's re-hydrating after tossing his cookies...
