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.
Picked up my Tag Heuer, Classic 2000 blue face today at Diamonds and Dials on west 34 street in Manhattan.Thanks to the information on this site I knew just what to look for to spot the "Genuine Article" and at last I had my watch.
The bracelet needed some links removed so I went to Macys across the street,to pass the time.When I returned the watch fitted perfectly and I had the warranty card stamped and in my sweaty little hand.
I left the shop and quickly checked the box,no warranty registration papers....returned to shop and was told it was not with the newer Tags..it was all done online.....stepped outside and checked the watch again,NO SERIAL NUMBER, I could swear I had checked this when I went in.
Back inside I went where I was assured it was a genuine Tag and the warranty from Tag was valid,argued over and back for 25 minutes and they suddenly produce an identical Tag with serial number intact from behind the counter(mine was a special order, where did this come from!).........I refused that and insisted on a full refund which it took a further 20 minutes of arguing to get.
I wish to thank Derek and Herb for steering me in the right direction and also the owners of this website,I was saved ($865) from an expensive lesson.
