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.

: The guy has plenty of positive feedback, so it
: looks like the watches he's sold in the past
: have been authentic. Maybe he's hesitant to
: give details because they're gray market?

If he has no store front, he's saving overheads; profit mark up on high end watches is that way because they don't sell the volume. As you point out, all his feedback is good and there's enough of it.

The watches may or may not be grey market but, as far as I am concerned, if Rolex wanted to stop the grey market, they would price their watches uniformly throughout the world; allow sellers to choose their own profit margins and offer the same service wherever you are and wherever you buy the watch.

As this is a forum for counterfeit watches, I'm not too sure that you have posted this in the correct place, I can see nothing to indicate they are other than genuine.
