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.

Guys, I just purchased this watch from a second hand market for $50 from an old guy selling hand crafts, it is in used condition, and looks absolutely on par with any Omega ive had. I couldnt let it go to someone else and examined it for 20 minutes before buying it, after sitting and looking it up online, the only thing that puts this watch off (externally) from the genuine thing, is the black face, and the adjustment pieces which have a couple of extra teeth, and the symbol isnt raised enough. The timing is on par with the real thing. The band! Christ its perfect, down to the screws. the links are exact, and the engraving is perfect. I would have to say that the band may be real!!!

I am dissapointed that it is a fake, but couldnt let it go at that price. Then again, I wonder if the Indian manufacturers over produced these special fakes that are rare on the side, with a diff face color...
