Different things happen to the fake watches. The owner is informed. Sometimes the dial is destroyed and the watch returned. Sometimes it isn’t returned. In one case where a widow sent in her husband’s old watch, she was returned the fake as delivered to them, since it was a special circumstance.
I was surprised that they were legally allowed to not return / destroy someone else’s property.
Yeah, I don't think they are actually allowed to keep/destroy it under UK law, as its not illegal to own or buy counterfeit goods, only to sell them as genuine being illegal iirc.
