Counterfeit Watchers Discussion Forum

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.

Authenticity of Omega Constellation Mens Watch

Hi,

Thank you in advance to provide your opinions/advice about my following purchase. I bought an Omega Constellation Mens Watch 1202.10 from Jomashop.Com, an on-line dealer located in New York. There is an 8 digital serial number on the back of the watch. However, the package didn't include the Chronometer Certificate card and the PICTOGRAMS card. When my brother bought the exactly same type of Omega watch from the Overstock.Com last year, these two cards with Omega sign were in his package. Now, I am concerning about the authenticity of my watch. I would buy the watch from the Overstock.Com if the company had it in stock. Are those two cards important? Have any one purchased watch from the Jomashop.Com? What was your experience with the company?

Thanks again,

Ling
