With a tip of the hat to Wisconsin Proud at BDWF


Audemars Piguet is pleased to announce that after conducting an extensive trial against, among others, Swiss Watch International which operates the [URL removed].com website, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York found that Audemars Piguet has valid trademark rights in its Royal Oak watch design, that such rights were infringed by the defendants' sales of Swiss Legend Trimix Diver watches with a very similar design and that defendants have engaged in act of unfair competition.

The Court awarded the full amount of the defendants' profits, and trebled them for bad-faith conduct and allows Audemars Piguet to apply for an award of its attorney's fees and costs of suit. It also entered an injunction forbidding the defendants from further dealings in the infringing watch products.

François-Henry Bennahmias, Chief Executive Officer, announced: The Royal Oak was the first of its kind. 40 years later, it remains unmatched amongst prestige sport watches. This is only the beginning of an authentic icon that is making an indelible imprint on the history of modern watchmaking. Thus, we are fully committed to enforcing our rights in the Royal Oak design and insist our trademarks be fully respected. We owe it to Audemars Piguet, and the founders' families.

Shit.....I thought it looked familiar

Obviously, the whole essence of the Trimix has an AP vibe, but me wonders if it was the bezel screw thingies that threw the design overboard. WOW is still selling the model but with that specific change.

While Lior has earned the contempt of much of the watch industry, that of a Federal Judge is to be avoided at all costs, and the apparently passive-aggressive interpretation of the basis for awarding treble damages in the case may just do exactly that.

Regarding the arrow - If you can't work out where the date window is on a watch should you really be wearing it? Or even allowed out the front door during the day?

I believe AP defended the combination of the bezel and 8 screws together, not each individually. So Lior is being a passive aggressive little bitch.

What I'm wondering is if that is just a photoshop job and what you actually get is the original.

...shockingly, they still have the eight-screw black model and lots of early ones listed at Amazon, while at WOW not a one of them has the eight screws any longer.

Somewhere out there is a guy with a combover with a Swiss Legend Trimix on one arm and a Stuhrling Original Ricochet on the other, masturbating furiously on an $8 chaise lounge.

A humorous joke:

One day a guy goes to see the doctor. The sawbones asks him what's wrong, so the hapless fellow drops his pants and the doc sees that his dick is orange-colored. "Dang," said the medico, after poking and prodding the guy's wanger for a minute. "Does it hurt?"

"Nope," said the oranged-donged guy.

"I've never seen anything like this," said the doctor. "Are you allergic to anything?"

"Nope."

"Well, maybe something at work. Do you work around any hazardous chemicals?"

"I'm unemployed," said the guy.

"What do you do all day?" asked the doctor.

"I sit around, watching porn and eating Cheetos."

^ Thats' proberly the sames feller

Charles Ninetoes Sez:

Well, 3flushes, this is supposedly "funny" because the poor fellow that the asshole conjurer was making fun of was unemployed and so had little to do with his time apart from watching hard-pore cornography while masturbating. This turned his pee-pee orange because he was eating Cheetos at the time while "having one off the wrist," thus getting the orange Cheetos flavoring onto his nasty.

I personally don't find this funny because most people who eat Cheetos are also morbidly obese, and go on to break important and expensive hospital equipment due to their very large girth. Also, any man who spends a lot of time watching cornography is obviously mentally ill, and perhaps spends far too much on his watches--like, over twenty five dollars.

I hoped I helped out in this valuable thread. Let's please watch all the potty talk.

Bumped for cheapjack watch memories.
