When I search "google.com" for "replica" from the USA , the SERP seems to offers a link to search for replica watches instead of replica guns.

When I search "google.co.uk" it provides the link to search for replica guns.

When I perform a USA style search (i.e. "gl=us") at "google.co.uk" it shows the link to search for replica watches instead.

When I perform a UK style search at "google.com" it shows the link for the replica guns.

Its interesting how google's suggestion vary depending upon location.

Obviously it think guns are appropriate for UK and watches for US!
