There is actually a lesson to be learned from all this aside from the fact that you can get amusing luxury watch labeled mobile phones in China. The mobile phones you buy are cheap. These phone are like $100 each and are manufactured for less. Look at the "unlocked" price of phones out there. Most are $500 - $800. We are then led to believe that the "subsidized" price we get with new mobile phone plans are a good deal. Yes, it is true that mobile phone service providers make their money off the service and not the phones, but still...these are not the expensive items we are led to believe they are, but rather devices made to be expendable and disposable with a life of maybe a year or two. Why else would they be made with plastic bodies for the most part?
As a whole, the Unauthorized Rolex wrist products are copyright which are made by illegal manufacturers. We should take action to protect the legal patent and protect the customers' rights. Surely you should take enough attention to the products which marked Rolex and try your best to tell fake from real brand items.According to the latest news we can see that recently the international legislation found out some illegal sales activity with an emphasis on the patent of Rolex brand name. In particularly there are some mobile phones name as Rolex in the Chinese market and it made the Rolex makers in a mess.
Pictured are two "unauthorized" Rolex labeled mobile phones. The one with more pictures is known as the "Rolex A699." Each is complete with watch images on the screens. Prices for the phone are about $100 is US dollars - though they would quickly be seized if sold outside of China. Rolex could theoretically pressure China to do something about products such as this, but they would probably not get too far. For one they would have to stand in line behind thousands of other companies that have their intellectual property rights utterly disregarded by entities in China. Second, the Chinese government has more or less proven that it will not really enforce international IP laws that they have probably agreed to via treaty (been a while since I was in international intellectual property class).
While Chinese mobile phones aren't as nifty of sophisticated as Japanese phones, there is certainly a much more healthy variety of phone in China than in the US. Plus, China of course makes most of the phone and probably sometimes gets internal parts from Taiwan. Most of the phones are pretty crappy to be honest and are made of plastic that reminds you of children's toys they sell at 99 cents stores. Though that is not the case with all phone and some do employ interesting features. Most of which would never make it to the US.
