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.

Fake DeVille? *PIC*

Hi,

Could you just save me the embarrassment of getting this one returned, before I take it in for a service to Omega House down the road for a relative of mine..

There are a few issues I have with this one:

1. DeVille in strange font, never seen before!

2. Says 'Quartz' on the watch. Never seen that before.. only 'chronometer' or 'chronograph'. I don't know why they'd want to stress the fact that it was battery operated!

3. Back of the watch completely bare. No serial number, no skyscraper face. Weird!

4. Swiss Made correctly displayed at the bottom of the watch near the 6 o'clock marker, but not either side of the marker, with the last 's' of Swiss overlapping.

5. Serial number (possibly) on the strap/bracelet rather than the watch.

But, the omega 'O' is on one of the clasps, which looks ok..

I'll let the experts decide.. thanks in anticipation, and best regards.

Alex
