Bwahahahahahahahaha! Cantonese? Bwahahahahahahaha!

Seriously, everyone does. And since the quality of certain replicas is superb, this has put the kibosh on ADs doing any authentication at the store level. Even the places that used to do them regularly stopped doing them, like Hermes; it was easy to spot a replica of the Birkin. But after OMAS, that stopped quickly.

The most notable watch brand that still does them is Patek Philippe, but only at their salons. They'll call you out fifteen minutes after you walk through the door.
