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.

Raymond Weil don giovanni cosi grande 18k rose gold - ebay *PIC*

I am considering buying a 2 year old Raymond Weil don giovanni cosi grande 14885-G-00209 from ebay. The seller is offering all documentation and he has uploaded pictures of the watch. I had a look at the watch at a jewelery store today and I noticed that 'Don Giovanni Collection' is signed (in running hand) at the back case of the watch. However, the picture of the watch on ebay shows 'Don Giovanni' printed in type case (please refer to the attached picture). Does this mean the watch on ebay is a fake or has Raymond Weil changed their back case designs/print in the last two years?
