It would not be illegal to buy it, but if you represent it as a real Rolex when you sell it you will be violating international copyright laws as well as the Hobby Protection Act. No, but it is illegal to be the one selling a fake rolex or fake anything.

Only in Switzerland. You can be arrested ans sentenced to up to a month in prison for possessing a fake Rolex watch.

Although it is trademark infringement, the fake Rolex yatchmaster I'm wearing right now is perfectly legal to own in any other country as long as you do not try to pass it off as the real thing and sell it. They are a great $100 alternative to the $8000 watch. Try out Hourswatches.com for the best prices on the best quality watches.

ONLY if you're trying to pass it off as the genuine article. Provided you state it's a copy at the time of sale, you have not broken any laws.

How can one spot a fake rolex?

There are a number of signs that a Rolex might be fake. If the price is very cheap then it is likely to be fake. One can also look for the magnification of the date on the watch which is 2.5 x on a real Rolex and often only 1.5 x on a fake Rolex. One can also tell by dipping the watch in water as all Rolex watches are water tight. If there is any leak inside the watch it is fake.

Is it illegal to buy fake guitars?

It is not illegal to purchase a fake guitar when you know it is fake. It is illegal to sell a fake guitar without revealing that it is fake. That is called fraud. Selling a fake guitar, or other item, even when you reveal that it is a fake, may be illegal as a trade mark infringement. If you buy an item that you know is counterfeit, then you are aiding and abetting the counterfeiters.
