It's lawful to PURCHASE them (if you really want one) - providing - you are not doing it to knowingly re-sell them as the 'real' thing.

It is unlawful to SELL them, while representing them as the genuine article.

Well, it depends on the specifics. It is not illegal to make something and sell it unless you are attempting to commit fraud. If you bought a 'fake Rolex' and sold a 'fake Rolex' you are probably not going to get into trouble, unless the replica violates copyright and patent laws.

It is certainly illegal to manufacture them and attempt to sell them as the real thing. And if the replicas violate copyright laws, it is illegal to make them.

I'm not sure if its illegal to rent replicas but selling them definitely is.

Any copy of an original product without the express permission of the copyright owner is copyright theft. So no its not legal to do so.

No, not to OWN one. To have them and sell them, or possess them in amounts larger than personal use, yes. They are fake merchandise and violate international trademark law.

Is it legal to buy rolex watches online?

It's legal. Rolex is a well-known luxury watch brand that has been in operation since 1905. In addition to their functional aspects, Rolex watches have become symbols of success and are frequently seen as valuable investment pieces. People can reasonably get the original replica products in ~WeeReplica~. Due to their reputation and desirability, Rolex watches often retain their value well over time. But, Rolex watches are protected by trademark and copyright laws, and replica watches that closely resemble Rolex designs can be considered counterfeit goods. In many countries, the production, sale, or possession of counterfeit goods is illegal, as it infringes upon the intellectual property rights of the original brand owner.
