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.

Re: Omega Watch Store
In Response To: Omega Watch Store ()

: Have any of you dealt with Omega Watch Store? I want to buy a new
: Omega watch, and came across a web site omegawatchstore.com. The
: prices seem too good to be true, but they don't say they sell
: replica or fake watches. What do you think? I've read that if
: the price is too good to be true, then the watches are probably
: fake. Thanks for your help.

I have wondered the same thing. What I've done is that I submitted a request to start a report on this particular online store on Better Business Bureau so that we have some sort of record on this company. However, if you use BBB site to check out their URL via WHOIS (www.whois.net), then you will notice that the online store has been newly created (I'm attaching the result below). I've also written them an e-mail inquiring about the authenticity issue and no answer, yet.

In the mean time, let's keep a close eye on this store. If they are selling authentic watches, then it will put other Omega dealers out of business. In the mean time, if they are selling fakes, then they need to lower the prices to match the fakery.
