It may be nothing or it could end in termination.
I can't believe how oblivious some guys are to the risks of some of the good deals guys think their getting. Guys buy Rx drugs without a doctors supervision. I've heard of guys buying Rx drugs for members of their family. WOW! Are the drugs real? Are they out of date? Are they what you think they are? Buy the wrong type of drugs at the wrong quantity and get stopped in a place like Singapore or China the cost may be more than some money or your job. You may have to pay with your life.
Believe he said "a couple" as in 2. That would be about right for 2 HIGH QUALITY reproductions from Jimmy - not the $20 cr@p you obviously buy. High quality as in virtually cannot distinguish from the $3-5000 authentic model.
Yes, anyone carrying around more than a couple of anything is asking for a hassle. Best bet is to take them out of any boxes/packaging that would imply they're anything other than watches you took with you on the trip. But that might offend the saintly integrity of so many of the "sans reproche" pilots on here...
