They don't use a decal, they do a photo transfer. Actually quite good quality. So what if it's not genuine bona fide Charles Parker manufacture. Lots of people like having little things like that.
I had a 100 quartz watches done with the Land Rover logo photo transfered. The watches cost me $28 ea, in a stainless case too. I sold them on one of the Land Rover boards years ago. I don't think one of all 100 buyers thought for a minute that Land Rover made them, but they sold out in one weekend.
A local Ford dealer had a bunch of pocket watches made with a Roadster pickup picture and the Ford logo and gave them to new car customers. As they came in new plastic boxes, I'm sure no one thought they were 80 years old. I have one, same as the ebay Parker watch, and it keeps excellent time. Zero jewels. Will it last as long as a Patek Phillipe ? No, but who cares.
Not everything is a conspiracy.
