Re: Gray market stuff (watches specifically)
Where I live, parallel imports are completely legal. That's why sometimes I find coca-cola from Thailand being sold in some markets, and stuff.
It is generally legitimate and above-board. When you are at a shop, the salesperson will say it's a grey-market product and remind you that the warranty is not valid. However, it is still the same product, within a shrink-wrapped box, and so on.
I believe in the US, parallel imports are prohibited. You can thank your copyright lobby for that!
