Hi Guys,
1. What is the Chinese name for good quality generics?
2. Any place, besides TaoBao or Alibaba, where you can find them?
3. I ask because all the Rolex's, Omega's, handbags, suits, etc. are made before they are labelled. Surely, part of the price of a good watch, suit, etc. is just needless markup.
I do not care about brands. I just want quality stuff, without the brands. Where is the best way to find?

Unless you're very familiar with a product, it's hard to tell if a knock off product is good quality or not (at least not before it's too late). The "generic" version's brand name isn't protected. So, imagine if Relox watches got a good reputation a quality generics of Rolex watches. How long would it be before the place making the bad generics over at Rolllex decided to try labeling some of theirs as Relox?
I once had some street sellers following me while shouting "Rolex! Rolex! Rolex!" at me. I finally got sick of it, turned around, pointed to my watch and yelled back "Timex! Timex! Timex!"
