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.
: hi, i am a little skeptical about purchasing
: watches from faraway places like CHina, but
: this seems legit because the watch looks
: authentic and the guy seems to have a pretty
: high seller rating.
This seller has NO rating as a seller - only a handful of feedback as a buyer, all within a 30 day period for low priced items, and half the sellers are no longer registered.
This looks like a classic case of building a quick profile, and then trying to snag somebody into paying for a non-existent item. Feel free to send him your Western Union money order, and sit back and watch the mailbox.
I think any discussion of whether the watch is real or not wouldn't matter. I watched a seller in China list 8 to 10 high priced watches within hours of the exact items being sold by one of the long time reputable watch vendors on eBay. This "seller" didn't even bother taking references to the real vendor out of his copied item descriptions. Needless to say, the items and the seller were removed from eBay.
