A forum for identifying and avoiding wholly or partially non-authentic wristwatches --
including counterfeit, replica, Frankenwatches and other fake or bastardized pieces.
Our objective here is to DISCOURAGE the sales and purchase of counterfeit
wristwatch and jewelry products. It is also for helping people identify
watches that are mostly authentic, but have been: altered for personal customization,
repaired with inappropriate parts or modified to be passed off as more valuable pieces.
Including a photo of the piece you are talking about ALWAYS helps! You can learn how to post a photo here: How To Include Photos In Your Postings. 'For sale' postings, commercial solicitation and ads are not allowed. Links to Internet auctions are acceptable only if their purpose is to question the authenticity of a product or provide new clues for identifying counterfeit products. Links that appear to be 'shills' promoting the sale of counterfeit products will be deleted. Links to websites of sellers of counterfeit items are not permitted -- we know they are out there and do not need to be encouraging them by sending traffic to their sites. Privacy, additional policies and administrivia are covered in the Terms of Use.
: Hello, i would like to add my 2 cents on this.
: i Bought recently from watchmaxx.com a
: Speedmaster Racing Schumacher limited
: edition (2002 championship version) for only
: 1800 brand new in box. This site sells
That's fine. But based on your numbers, your price was only 30% off retail. There are ways to get an OMEGA watch from an AUTHORIZED dealer for at least that much off. So you gained nothing and lost the factory warranty by going through that cut-rate dealer.
: pictograms card. Now the only thing i didnt
: receive in the box was the international
: warranty red card that has the serial number
: and the stamp of an autorized dealer. I
: asked them to send it to me unstamped and
: they told me they will send it to me next
: week. (because after the 2 years warranty
: period thru them pass) ill need this card to
: fix it at an omega dealer.
You are completely incorrect about that. You do NOT need that card to have OMEGA repair your watch at your own expense. A warranty card is needed ONLY if you expect OMEGA to pay for a repair under the terms of the factory warranty... and for that to happen, the card must be properly filled out by an authorized dealer. Otherwise, that card is totally useless.
