CHICAGO — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers in Chicago say they seized a shipment containing more than two dozen counterfeit watches, which would have been worth more than $8 million if genuine.

According to CBP officials, the shipment, which arrived from China, was intercepted for inspection on Oct. 23, as it made its way through an express consignment facility near O'Hare International Airport.

An inspection by CBP then revealed that the shipment contained the following 26 designer brand watches: six Richard Mille watches; eight Audemars Piguet watches; four Diesel watches; eight G-Shock watches; and two Rolex bracelets.

According to CBP, the watches and bracelets bore the names and logos of the designer brands and were bound for a residence in Chicago.
