Mechanical watches that can show a date correctly are pretty rare, and the ones that do are very expensive (starting at $10k). But why? Let me explain.
These watches were initially made for World War II pilots and were later given in the Giro di Sicilia racing event in 1942.
Customs officials seized approximately 53 million euros in counterfeit goods last year. The number of items seized nearly doubled in two years, from 850,000 in 2020 to 1.6 million in 2022, according to radio program Misdaadbureau. An analysis of data from the Customs service showed a wide range of replica items seized, ranging from LEGO sets and Huggy Wuggy stuffed animals to replica alcohol brands and fake Viagra. The Customs office has even seen a 75-fold increase in counterfeit grooming and body care products just since last year.
