But again, you're analogy is flawed. You're talking about counterfeiting an item, not restoring one. In this case, a better analogy would be if you had a Rolex with a scratched face and you buffed out the flaw and sold it without telling the buyer that you buffed out a scratch. Perhaps the buyer wouldn't be excited to learn that, but he still has a Rolex and it's still worth every penny that he paid for it. That's not fraud.
You're assuming your conclusion by saying it's still worth every penny. Suppose in fact a watch with a repaired flaw isn't quite as valuable as one that is original and unflawed. What then?
