They know how to get the message across, with the right message (and often, with a healthy dose of humor.) You are right to warn travelers about this issue. I remember hearing about the friend of a friend who got in big trouble at Roissy Charles de Gaulle one year because of a counterfeit watch!

Ie if you buy a Level 1, it looks 100% real and costs a bit more, a level 2 has a lower price and a few mistakes, and a level 3 is dirt cheap with major mistakes (Loues Vilton for example). </p>
<p>When my co-workers went over, one bought a level 1 watch that costs $1000 in the US for $100 and another bought a level 3 watch for $2. The pricey watch looked totally authentic & is still working great, and the $2 watch stopped working 30min after they left the store. </p>
