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 Planet Ocean Fake or Real??

: btw. how gave away the bezel, crown, and
: caseback as being fakes, pls. do educate!

The bezel is too large....it stretches out beyond the edge of the case....so far that you cant even see where the winding crown runs into the case....The crystal is supposed to have a blue tint...a result of the AR coating.... the crystal on this watch was AR coated only on the inside and the blue tint is weak....the omega logo on the back is too fat and the sea monster is lacking fine detail in many areas....the big give away for this watch is the serial number

It is possible that this is not a UPO....but an Omega replica with a UPO case....the bezel on other UPOs do not extend out that far....pretty unusual....at any rate....China is the replica capitol of the world....ALL WATCH REPLICAS COME FROM CHINA!...your seller is in China....another huge indication that this is a scam
