What happens when a counterfeiter uses the same serial number 800 times, like they already do? I just have to take a step back and marvel at your skepticism over a mundane illicit trade with a hundred year history.Seems like a really simple fix. Serialize the watch and the case back and the movement.
Seems like a watch is a pretty poor black market currency because they are knocked off so often you would have a hard time verifying authenticity and most of the value is in the authenticity. I guess sufficiently discounted they might work in volume.
