It can well be criminal action against the owner. Possession of stolen
or illegal goods is a valid offence in probably every country.
The only thing you can think about in that case is, whether said
possession was intentional or not. Obviously in most cases, being
small time buyer, your penalty would be the loss of your investment,
but if it can be proven that you've knowingly purchased a fake watch,
then you are taking part in an illegal transaction.


Perhaps. But I would much rather see my tax dollars used by the police
for better purposes than prosecuting individual citizens buying fakes.

And it is, which is why there isn't too much prosecution of this type
happening. The cops don't care about small timers, they want the big
fish.
Kinda like the Mp3 and AVI "market", the main emphasis is not on those
who download the illegal ones, it's on those who release them.
