My Oris Aquis Turned Out To Be Fake
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 гру 2019
- I bought three Oris Aquis watches from EBay and all three turned out to be counterfeit. I bought three different color dial Aquis on rubber strap, leather strap and bracelet and was shocked at how close the fake ones are.
In this video I try to point out the difference between fake and real one.
One important detail that I missed to mention is that the rubber strap doesn't have that vanilla scent like the genuine Oris Aquis. The strap rather smells like cheap rubber strap.
Sorry for saying this, but the way you were twisting the bracelet around made me shudder in pain, even if it's a fake
Exactly the vanilla scent smells amazing bought my aquis 2 days back
Thank you for sharing this.
If you're going through the trouble of making this video to warn people, why wouldn't you post where you got it from - who the seller is? Otherwise it's not much of a warning.
Nobody ever posts the name of the so called "sellers" who "sold them" a fake under the context that its real, this is because this is a fake made up reason for this video to exist, in reality he bought the high quality fake on purpose and then made a video so he can get money off of youtube, literally every fucking youtuber who got a "fake" when ordering a real one has this case, the lie.
Yeah!
@@thewolfhimself4867 not likely. He has 242 total subscribers.
@@adamh7947 Still one video with a good view count can push you a few hundred bucks more even if your sub count is low, and how do you achieve more views? Clickbait, lying, etc etc.
I don't mean to accuse anyone of being a liar but its just my observation and my logic, I've been wrong before, i will be wrong again in the future and I may be wrong now.
@@thewolfhimself4867 incorrect. That is definitely NOT how youtube works. You can get 10k view and it wont matter. You have to at minimum have 1000 subs and 4000 view hours. Not views or clicks. View hours! That is 60 full minutes done 4000 times. Not easy to do. This video isn't going to make money. Everyone thinks they have YT figured out but have NO idea😂
It’s not a counterfeit, it’s a franken probably due to a repair job.
All three of them??
The bezel didn't line up correctly or am i wrong?
Did you write the serial Number with or without the "-"? I had the same problem of the Website not finding my Oris (I bought from DROP) until I wrote the sn without. Then my watch was recognized immediately.
Not a fake... repaired with non-OEM parts, likely.
the watch is real but the video is fake - click bait
Great video! Thanks for the info. Have you sold the genuine Oris?
Lol wtf 😂…….. I sell these watches…… it’s definitely legit or the best fake ever …… would not be very profitable to produce a fake of that quality, 90% sure it’s legit
Dude, that's a genuine Aquis!
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it's probably not a spider monkey.
Yeah, this is not fake. The review is not very good and the points can be found between 2 different watches. If a watch is not registered it will not show up. Some dealers and people never register the watch hoping to flip it. This was really weird. A movement is less expensive than making an entire case and packaging.
I go to my country FB Oris waych group and tried for 12 watches and only 1 shown in the Oris Warranty website. How reliable is the Oris Warranty website? Can we really say an Oris is fake merely because it was not able to find in Oris Warranty website? To be honest, those 12 watches looked genuine to me and some even have limited edition certificate.
Same issue, I log the number in website and didnt find anything. What should I do next?
Appreciated. 👍
How much!?? The fake ones?
Hola desde México tu reloj Oris aquis es resistente al agua y a cuantos metros sin mas espero noticias gracias saludos
Did you pay Swiss money or clone money for that watch?
So.. I'm wondering... What's preventing the copycats of engraving the serial number of your original Oris that you've so generously shown in this video on their copies from now on..?
How do you know it is fake?
That watch is totally legit. This guy is smoking crack.
Thank you very much for the warning...I could not imagine that they can fake Oris watches so close to the original one!
The screws are reversed from a strap change. There is no way they are making fake oris watche, and putting selitta movements in them.
It's not an Oris 733 movement, so not real Oris I would say.
@@nik0321 The 733 is a modified Sellita, right? Are you sure there were no Aquises made without the 733 branding?
That's the kicker. If it's a real selita movement, isn't it serialized and trackable by selita?
@@LeroyWiley Never heard something like that. And originally they use incabloc shock protection, the movement in this video is not equipped with incabloc.
You know how etas come in different grades. Could this be a lower grade selita without the shock protection? There was something fishy done with the movement. Im guessing the original movement was swapped out with this one then sold as original.
Why would you buy the same watch why didn’t you get an oris strap
Not a lot to base it all on inspector that its a fake, a slightly different rotor, a stamping of text and a rough crown yet everything else seems to be of the high quality the original is. Is it a refurb or a "quality second" someone has redone but using an original piece to make it look new?
What did you pay for the fake?
Ever wondered if they were produced in separate batches/or years?
It's not uncommon for watches to have such small nuiances when produced at different times in spite of being the exact same model i.e.Tissot had some minor nuiances on the font of the gentleman silicium that may need a loupe to notice
Also, warranty might not have been activated upon purchase.
Looks legit not to mention that the price point of Oris will never be attractive to copycats to put it that kind of effort
Would you plan to sell the fakes ?? Would love to buy one for a parts
There’s no way anyone in China went this far out of their way to produce an exact replica of an Oris watch. I think you’re tripping. Even the best Rolex fakes have more distinguishing features than you just pointed out. What you are describing is likely the tolerance gap that differs from watch to watch during manufacturing. Faking a watch at this level is not an easy feat, not even a little, and it still costs money to fake. It’s not worth anyone’s time to fake an Oris watch since there is not a high demand.
They fakes 20€ seiko as well
Alex Cas Puting a label on a cheap watch and creating a dial is not in the same realm of building a case, clasps, movement, sapphire, engravings, exact fonts, print quality, material used in the strap, color consistency. The “fake” would cost as much as the real watch. What you’re talking about is not the same thing. These are not fashion or costume watches, it’s incredibly hard to make something like this, and even harder to mass produce.
I agree. You can tell there is WAY too much attention to detail and too much quality in this watch to be counterfeit. And I am a watch guy.
@@noelr9376 Yep. The machines alone to produce a watch of this quality would be in the HUNDREDS of thousands of dollars. Its not some old chinese man with a pocket knife and block of steel making these in a straw hut somewhere.
Noel R true, I’ve had two Oris watches of the same model, slight differences with year, same with boxes and clasps, there are fake Oris watches out there but not this close, best fakes are AP Royal Oak and Rolex Sub Mariner, Both all steel watches and both very desirable, Oris Watches I have a sort of affection for but It seems like a lot of effort to clone a relatively low end watch. There’s another video about that compared the bezel movement, the sound was exact.
The font on the date window looks different too.
Doesn't have authentic movement, and can't be looked up on Oris website for warranty. If that ain't good enough to convince you commenters it's fake then nothing is. A lot of butt hurt commenters below who bought their Oris's on ebay and got scammed and want to deny it. lol.
Lol agreed. All of a sudden everyone is an expert and can spot a real one THROUGH A VIDEO. And denying there's a counterfeit market for watches 🤣
Usually there are more glaring tells when you compare a genuine with fakes . The box means little ads often mix up boxes particularly if it’s ex display .the bezel is usually a major tell usually more play, if it feels and sounds identical and it is a genuine selita sw200 I would feel it’s probably real with slight variations in the specific production runs . Contact oris and they should help .
Totally agree man, and if I remember correctly, earlier Aquis did use sw200 before they started rebadging them..
I entered the serial number of my Tag Heuer Aquaracer on their website and it couldn't be found. I sent the watch in to the Tag Heuer service center for repair and they could not locate it in their system but they did confirm it was genuine, but they wouldn't cover it under warranty. I think if they're sold by gray market dealers they aren't registered in the system, so they're not covered by the factory warranty.
Can’t tell for sure but it looks like the date numerals are much easier to read or more bold on the original than on the fake.
I’ll take your „fake“ oris! I pay the shipping :)
Thank you for your two videos on this subject. I find them interesting and informative. I own a genuine Oris Aquis, and have had the black and blue rubber straps. They both had the vanilla scent and the blue one was darker in colour and looked better finished than yours. One other minor difference I have noticed is that on my version, on the case back there is a full stop after the world ‘CRYST’ which does not appear in yours. Why everyone is slating you for daring to suggest these are fake I don’t know, unless they have an interest in convincing people they are real? Eh ‘Sunny’?
At first I’d say it’z not a fake but I snapshot when you had both watchez close up and I’ve noticed the numbering from 20-50 on the Bessel doesn’t line up the same.
And the bezel has far too much play, if the strap smells of vanilla it's also a sign, Oris watches always line up perfectly with the bezel and the miss matched screws are a huge red flag too 👍
Thanx for the headz up 👍
For perspective, neither of the movements you show here have a rotor that looks exactly like mine that I bought brand new out of an authorized dealer showcase.
The original rubber stap is supposed to smell like vanilla. How is the smell of the fake?
Who thought of that my z06 Zodiac has that feature and to me its just strange and wish it would stop smelling like that
Actually i like it a lot. My Aquis is now almost 3 years old. The sent is less intense now, but still there.
I think it‘s a very nice feature and is so surprising when you open the box for the first time.
@@jeffbankston8806 It is either that or having it smell like a car tire, maybe you would prefer that?
@@blindriv3r Car tire would be better
By no means am I an expert on Oris.. but I believe this is maybe the real deal. .
That’s not fake. Oris runs different models with different lugs - genuinely not fake. That’s real like the bright day
Did you ever compare the lume side by side? Aquis has good lume and Oris didn’t skimp on that. And since Lume is expensive the fake one should have poor lume
Where did you get this watch and how much you paid for it .Chinese imitation are 1/10 cost of original.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
I so so much appreciate you videos about these Oris fakes. I was just about to buy a clone thinking it is an original Oris. The star screw from one side of the case and checking the serial number saved me.
I wish you health, money, happiness and all the best my friend :))))
Bro, it was real. This guy just doesnt know what he's talking about. This is coming from someone who has owned 4 different Oris purchased directly from ADs....
@@steelsteez6118 The knurling on the crown is the number one give away. Look at the difference @ 6:28. The Oris has precise thin deep knurling, the fake has fat vague knurling. Then at 7:21, do you see how the real Oris has a satin or even brushed finish inside the crown knurls, while polished on the outside? The fake one is high polish throughout. Unbranded Sellita sw200 is also suspicious as the real ones usually have a designation. No papers, serial doesn't show up, lug screws are on backwards, I wouldn't buy this one, I'd return it.
Thank you for posting this video. You saved me from making a huge mistake.
I don't think it's fake, maybe just the crown came from a different batch or something. And the lug screws, someone took them out and inserted back the wrong way.
agree! I also doubt this a fake, the packaging cost more than replica manufacturers would spend to make
Agreed. He said his AD has tris on the same side as the crown and 2 fkats on the other side. But the fake has 1 rri and 1 flat on each side. That's simple.
That looks legit! You should get that looked at by an Oris dealer that services their watches. Or send it in to Oris to authenticate
Website used to warn prospective buyers? Cheers.
Looks real because it is real.
The only way to tell is the font on the authentic oris text the o should be kinda stretched out and the s should thin out at the top and bottom. The other one just has bold text.
I just bought one on December 6th. It is not here yet, and the seller has been removed from ebay. After looking at the pictures I think mine is fake as well. This is terrible.
That is sad. You should be able to return it for a full refund though
Are you willing to sell any of the oris replica you bought
Sure but you'll have to buy a few more contrabands along with the watch.
Very interesting! What concerns me with a lot of fakes nowadays is that they are that good in their own right I question the mark up levels at RRP of the real things? Cheers.
That's exactly what the fakes want you to do
I would never buy a high caliber watch on eBay
So you have worried me, cause i recently bought the brown oris aquis on the metal bracelet and the box i have looks just like the fake box you showed but the watch has the (733 26 jew code) and it also shows the sw200 the screws were just like the way u showed one of the flat heads missed positioned but that can be done when one changes bracelet, the watch i got i got it off ebay for a pretty good price compared to msrp but now im confused if its a fake or a real
These watches are real lmao. I mean thats what most of the comments say
Its fake
The watch you received at too good to be true price off eBay is fake if the bracelet screw is reversed. You will not be able to align them if you tried to. The now banned seller messaged me that if I want I can get a replacement with correct movement code.
I think I may have made this same mistake as you? What happened with your purchase? Were you able to confirm it was fake? Did you get refunded?
Sorry mate but the bezel pitch doesn’t sound like that. It’s harder to turn and has a deeper pitch.
a lot of Oris are sold on the gray market. i bought an Oris Aquis and registered it on the European website, but the USA dealer said they did not sell it, it was gray market.
Not a fake
The watch screws on either can be changed around. Wow, I cant see any difference.
Guy doesn't realize you can insert the strap shaft from either side. The screw in situated on one side only, obviously!
How do you know its fake? Did you register the watch with Oris to get the 3 year warranty
Take it to an authorized dealer. They will let you know
is possible the watch have the bad survace and franken made custom parts, i read a couple of people think there aquis is a fake and they say the same about the crown and the movement, the "fake" has a more loud wind and a less acurecity, one of them in a forum has check this and from oris they said the REf is real and the watch is real but not the movement and the case is take out of the line becose of a QC problem and this is some on in the watch making factory who is take them and sell them for the real deal, the watch is real just not full QC pass and not legal sell aroud 140 peces are sell like this one before the person is take his responsability
I’m not sure that you’re correct. I would send it to an Oris expert for a check. Even if it’s £100/$100, it will be worth knowing for sure. If it’s genuine, great. If it’s a fake, you can take out a case on eBay
As of this date, there DOES NOT exist a counterfeit Oris Aquis. Period. Go to any replica forum and see for yourself.
you haven't looked very hard then.
@@TimothyMoore Oris, yes. Aquis, no. Unless you have a link. Or unless you're looking at a phishing site. Lots of those scam sites but no actual watches for sale.
KCPIO a group on Facebook has this watch and the seller is a trusted seller. Been selling there for a long time.
@@TimothyMoore interesting. Ive seen Aquis Great Barrier but not the regular which is a different case size. Ill have to look into it as its not listed on any TD that I know.
@kcpio
Im gonna agree on that. Never ever seen an oris aquis from any TD
Man this is sad. Didn’t think I’d have to worry about buying an Aquis on eBay. Crazy how good this is too. I could have got one and not known. Thanks for sharing.
Dont be a dumbass... look at the seller selling on ebay...
You should always worried buying on eBay!
For your information this watch is Authentic. The bracelet might have been replaced as rubber straps are much cheaper than a metal bracelet. The reason why your watch doesn’t show up on Oris website is simply because it was not registered by an authorized dealer. 100% real watch . I’ll buy it from you right now for the price of a fake :)
The one common theme with these supposedly fake ORIS watch videos is that the reviewer never says that they sent to watch to ORIS to verify, hell they never even say they took the watch to ORIS AD to have it looked it to verify. They are just looking at minor differences in the known watch and the unknown watch and making claims. I had a buddy buy a fake Rolex that was a "super clone" and even that was so obviously fake, a jeweler spotted it from a mile away. Have it checked by an expert before you make a video with claims based on your own observations.
You make a good point, but in this particular case I think cubex68 is actually correct about the watch. I own a couple of Oris's myself and I can tell you that the big giveaway here is the bezel grip. On the genuine watch the outer metal grip has the correct angled smooth slope coming from the outer edge of the Ceramic down towards the teeth notches. And the notches themselves are sharply defined. As they should be. Yet you can plainly see that on the fake watch this slope is nowhere near as defined as it is on the genuine watch. Even the notches themselves are nowhere near as defined as on the genuine watch. Come to think of it even the slope of the Ceramic doesn't look right!. Yet those two watches should have identical bezels, which they are plainly not.
They are 2 different size watches. Maybe my eyes aren't so great but they look very close, and I can't swear that models of different sizes have exactly the same angles. I've bought a lot of pre-owned Oris watches and the website has always verified them. THAT would be my guiding light. And if I did get a fake, I wouldn't be making a video. I would be homicidal. But he bought THREE fakes and can calm explain the difference?
Looks like a real one that was repaired or pillaged for the gen parts and replaced with cheap.
Yes, its a great feeling when you put the serial number in on the website for genuine products. Your watch looks legit like. Its because you have got it from the grey market and no warranty has been activated from an official dealer. Enjoy
@The dhgate 1:1 Replica reviews Just buy one only 1600 great British pounds.
@The dhgate 1:1 Replica reviews ok mate
@The dhgate 1:1 Replica reviews it clearly is not though. The bezel has movement. It's a good replica if it is. I'm prefer to purchase genuine watches. It's just how I roll.
Why would anyone fake that watch
because it sells, maybe?
because Mumbai exists
The bezel does look misaligned to me. That said, it is the best done fake I have seen. Sadly, I believe I would have bought it as authentic. 😨
I have an authentic Aquis titanium on a rubber strap that's registered with Oris that has the screw heads on opposite sides.
I was able to flip the screws around on my watch. So, on anesthetic Oris, the bars are bidirectional.
Exactly. The placement of the screw heads is irrelevant. I have several Aquis and also have brand new watches sent in sponsored from an Authorized Dealer of Oris, Breitling , Hamilton, Tag Heuer etc. The screw heads can be on either side. Unfortunately reviewers make up stuff without really knowing jack squat.
Thanks a lot for the video!
I was just going to buy a new Oris Aquis, and obviosly it turned out to be fake - the watch I was going to buy doesn't have a case number. The space where it should be is empty...
Im astonished by the quality of papers and box! And I like the "copy" more then the real due to the smaller size
Wow! Great video. Sorry it happened to you.
No worries, I got my money back from eBay. The seller got booted from eBay
Mabey someone Replaced the red part
I do not own one, but if this is replica is the best damn replica I have ever seen. I think is real.
On the other hand i know you can get very good fake Rolexes but why go to the trouble to fake an Oris so well.
Get it on a Weishi or Witschi machine. If it runs like shit and has low amplitude, it's Chinese. This one looks very much legit to me. Overall, the impression I get is that you WANT it to be fake, for some reason.
So did you pay full price?
25% less than current grey market price
Not sure what to think. Why would anyone fake an Oris watch and fake it so well? Replicas of watches that cost ten times more are not that well made and even if those replicas cost 500+.
If this actually is a fake watch, this just shows problem of 2-6k watches that use ETA type of movements. Their price is that high only because they pay their workers more and expect higher profoit from every watch.
So how many fakes you have now? Other video part two is green??
I actually entered you authorized dealer legit watch case number on the Oris warranty search and was told by the website that the number was not found. What am i getting wrong. Enjoyed the video and looks like I purchased a fake years ago on eBay.
Too bad .... how much did you pay for them? ... did you get your money back when you sold them on ? ;)
If your going to spend $1,000 or more on a watch, why not remove all doubt and buy from a reputable dealer with provenance.
the watch isn't fake. no one is going through all that trouble to manufacture a fake $1300 watch unless its a really cheaply made fake. this guy does not know what hes talking about.
Did you write to Oris with this? Imo this watch is original.
Can you PLEASE tell me where the fake was purchased from?? I have one concern that my Aquis is a fake. I wanna compare mine with a real fake one. Thank you. I say this bc there's only a Oris diving watches out there that're faked (not including the 65s). Usually it's the special editions that are faked for Oris.
@The dhgate 1:1 Replica reviews I was on dhgate but couldn't find this model or any Aquis
If that's a fake, I'd be happy to wear it. Take it to a dealer/service-center and have them check it out. Everything else will just be speculation.
The fact the code isn't recognised on Oris website is proof enough you have a fake.
Looks so close to the original.
No it does not. It simply means the watch wasnt registered with oris...as in grey market. His other oris came up because he bought it from AD so it came with a warranty.
Original movement has incabloc shock-protection this here looks like novodiac
actually you know what dude, I have the aquis with the blue rubber strap and mine is a much darker blue and yours is much lighter, now I'm wondering, they do make fake oris watches now
My Oris Aquis serial number cannot be found on the Oris website either. I know my watch is genuine however.
I also checked my Oris, and found the same, from an official retailer.
I think some sellers don't enter the sale date in, and as a result, the warranty won't show up.
Doesn't mean it's fake
Enter the number with NO dash
oh dear...did you inform ORIS - any response? - it looks too good and I wonder what made you suspect?
You are named after a condom?
I have the same watch and the bezel sounds the same
Where did you buy it from???
What was the username of the person selling the fake on ebay?
The seller has been removed from eBay but I think seller keeps on listing these fakes under different username typically with less than ten feedbacks
@@cubex68 I think I bought one too. I sent it to a friend, who I just notified to send it right back to me. The packaging was similar. Faded red, and the box was actually beat up in the corners and torn at the watch slot inside the box. The watch itself was wrapped in protective plastic, so I didn't unwrap it. I just sent it off to my buddy. Never thought the Aquis would be faked.
So! Million Dollar Question... Were you able to get your money back from Ebay?
@@MountainStandardTime Yes, I got a full refund.
@@cubex68 From the user, or ebay?
@@MountainStandardTime
I had to open a case with eBay and they were pretty quick to review the case and issue a refund.
I am an Oris collector and I can assure you these are all genuine. In addition I am also plugged into the replica world and none of the Chinese factories have tooled up to replicate Oris watches except one and would not do do due to the limited number of them they could sell due to Oris demand. Oris is a very underrated watchmaker. I would be proud to own any of these and in fact do own two of them.
You can't realy care about the watches you collect if you don't recognize a false movement in your watch.
My grandfather had an Oris watch. It had a cheap pallet movement and was badged 'Siro Sports'
So I used to be into fake watches (dark times). High end reps always have poor finishing, rotating bezel is garbage, and worst of all the barreling of the screw down crown is always an immediate giveaway of a fake watch. This watch doesn't have any of those issues. Also, none of the rep watch factories are making Oris aquis. Find me where you can buy this "fake" watch.
Also high end rep factories, only care to make Rolexes, Omega, AP, and IWC to such exact specifications. Oris replicas are usually disasters of watches.
@S Something very fishy is going on with these watches, but i believe Oris had to resort to a standard movement and had to offload these on the grey market to meet an end of the year objective.
@S Most watch brands and resalers have to resort to dumping their watches on the third market unless they're rolex. Even Omega does this.
Outside of circles on youtube, forums, and reddit, watches are dying. The public is simply not interested.
Someone tell this guy the tri wing pins can be removed. They can also be put back in the wrong way. I want my 9 minutes back!
So you say in the video oris didn’t make a red rotor. Then you show a confirmed gen with a red rotor. I’m not sure it’s fake, I think some of the other theories could be right (repair or old version)
For the moment forget the watch is a fake Oris. How good of a watch is it? Has anyone put one on a timing machine (forget the correct name)to see how it performs? What is the value of the watch as a watch?
Where did you get the clone?
So, you think that they are making a fake Oris, and then putting a genuine SW200 in it? How..... Why......? If they were really faking it, they wouldn't include the most expensive part as the only genuine part. It defeats the entire point.
sellita sw200 clones are super cheap :)
@@vizor4u exactly its super cheap and not even complicated
