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.

In Response To: Speedmaster two tone ()

: I am about to purchase a used Sppedmaster two tone watch from eBay
: ( 190238884139 ). I am very puzzled that the back of the watch
: dose not have the Omega symbol on the back cover; instead it
: have Omega inscribed with the Omega symbol.

: Is this a fake, are there any other determining feature that would
: tell you that this is a fake. I have looked at your gallery of
: fakes and cannot spot anything on this watch.

: Thank you for your advise.

Hugh,
First let me say that I have nothing to do with the seller and I'm really not bothered whether he ends up a millionaire or a beggar. Nevertheless, I think he is your guarantee. I often look at the selection of Omegas on Ebay and "jmryshi", as can be seen by his feedback, is often around. I don't recall seeing any fakes under his name.

The markings on the back of the watch are consistent with the genuine markings and I can see nothing else that would cause me to worry. I would go ahead.

Gary
