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.

Sorry About the Spam / Please Create a Profile


Guys:

Just another quick note to let you know that we continue to work on the Spam issue that has been affecting all our Forums over the last few weeks.

We are working on a solution, and we are optimistic that the solution will not only eliminate the Spam, but will also greatly improve the Discussion Forums, and give us some new features that we will all enjoy.

In the meanwhile, it might be worthwhile for each of you -- at least those who will want to be able to post messages -- to proceed to create a Profile. It is very simple to create a Profile (less than two minutes for a simple Profile, I promise), the Profiles will add to the sense of our community, and using Profiles may serve as a critical step in the fight against the Spammers.

Thanks for your support, and especially Thanks to Chuck, who has been on the front line against the Spam, often battling it alone. We all look forward to the days (and nights) when we will stop fighting the Spam and resume adding amazing content!!

Jeff
