DON'T BUY FAKES!! The Fake Watch Industry In China. Be Careful When Buying a Watch.

    The luxury Swiss watchmakers have always been an icon of modern sports brands of such standing, it is only natural that many will choose to make fake watches. It is not always easy to tell the difference between the original and a fake, especially if you’re not a watch expert and don’t know how to open the back of the watch to inspect its movement.
    FAKE WATCH MYTH #1: Fake Watches are Lighter than Genuine Watches
    Rubbish! Counterfeiters today easily make watches that are the same weight. How? Well, they are using the same ETA movements as the original manufacturers or second source copies. Therefore weight is no longer an acid test.
    FAKE WATCH MYTH #2: It’s Not Complicated
    You will read that complications never work on fake watches. It is true that in many cases they do not. But many luxury watches do not have any complications except date, which may work on a fake watch. Therefore, the complication test is usually not helpful in separating the fakes from the real.
    FAKE WATCH MYTH #3: The Date Bubbles on Fake Rolexes Don’t Magnify Enough
    It used to be that the “Cyclops,” the lens over the date on a Rolex did not magnify 2.5 times on a fake Rolex. That is not so difficult to fake anymore. I have seen many fake Rolex watches with the correct magnification. I would not depend on that as a litmus test.
    FAKE WATCH MYTH #4: A Genuine Movement Means a Genuine Watch
    Have you heard that movements on fake watches are never the same? How wrong that is. Most watch brands today buy their movements from ETA, the world’s largest supplier of mechanical movements. The counterfeiters can now buy Chinese or Japanese reproductions or indeed actual ETA movements from secondary sources. Take a look below at how similar reproduction movements look. Which of below is authentic and which is fake? They look pretty similar, don’t they?
    FAKE WATCH MYTH #5: Don’t Look a Gift Horse in the Mouth
    There is no such thing as a free lunch, right? The conventional wisdom is that gifts of luxury watches are fakes. Well, this may be close to the truth. But real watches are inherited and sold. If we all go around scrapping inheritance gifts, it may be an expensive error. This is hardly a definitive test for telling genuine finds from imposters.
    FAKE WATCH MYTH #6: All the Watches on Craig’s List are Fake
    Is this a myth? Probably not, honestly. I can’t recommend looking on Craig’s List for a luxury watch.
    Twenty years ago the fakes were really fake. You could look at a watch and really quickly determine it was trash. Not anymore. As manufacturers add counterfeit measures, the counterfeiters copy them. Today we have super fakes that take experience and knowledge to detect.

    I bought my first Rolex in 1964. It was expensive but the problem was that it had to be adjusted and serviced. Service was expensive. Then came the real push for Mechanical Timepieces: Electronics. A US $5 wrist watch keeps accurate time than the US $30,000 Rolex. So, Rolex, as an Accurate Time Keeper, lost to Electronics. In 2002, I bought 2 Rolex Watches in Pakistan for piddly sums of US $35 each. They are perfect. I swam, played Tennis and slept wearing them. Yes, they are Automatic: Day Date. I really do not see the difference. I get them serviced, also for piddly sums of US $10, yes, in Pakistan / India / Nigeria.

Buying a Patek...wearing it and riding a compact honda ain’t gonna wing it! It’s about perception. Now for those who prefer the real thang, save up and make sure you have insurance and can afford the parts and services every 5 years. It’s just like getting married! Difference is...in a divorce you don’t pay alimony because the real watch appreciates...just don’t get drunk and lose it!

I have not invested in a high end watch in over twenty years, but I don't mind wearing what I got back in the day... Now I'm fascinated by the new Citizen eco drive watches and they are really affordable. To these fake ones... If you buy a Picasso replica because you like it, or have a Mona Lisa hanging on your wall, which everybody knows can't be real because of the obvious (it's hanging at the Louvre), this does not mean you shouldn't have them... Same with replica watches; nobody would assume it's real, but you wear it because you like it AS A REPLICA. Do you find it moral for Swiss watchmakers to use twenty dollar movements (calibers) and sell you the watch for one grand, because I don't?

    I don't mind buying homage watches even if they are made in China, but buying replicas and fake watches is another thing. I've heard that some people who own real Rolex watches have a replica which they use some times when there's a risk of someone robbing you, losing the watch or damaging it which kinds of makes sense. But seeing the average Joe that counts the days before his next paycheck because hes almost out of money with a ''Rolex'', is kinda obvious that it's a fake one. Only rich people can blend in with a fake Rolex watches but they can only fool those who know nothing about watches. There's no shame in owning an inexpensive watch even if has a quartz movement inside.

    whenever you are buying a fake watch go for watches that have design(look) which is not available in any of the unbranded or branded affordable watches. Do not buy anything too fancy as it will surely give it away. Do not buy very plain looking either because whats the point in buying a fake watch just for the name tag without the looks. Go for the watch that is having multiple functional dials. Go for watches with unique designs. I would never go for rolex because it would easily give it away as a fake.

      True, but the copies can be quite good. I’ve read accounts of people having one work for ten or more years. Additionally, the lower end Asia 2813 movements keep excellent time and cost only about $15 for a replacement movement. So really a copy can usually last just as long as a gen seiko, and on the same or a lower budget, as well.

    I don't believe in buying fake anything. The brand name on the merchandise should tell what it really is. A watch is not really a Rolex just because the Chinese put the brand name Rolex on it. If somebody buys a Chinese made fake Rolex watch they are not getting a Rolex but they are just getting a Chinese made fake Rolex watch. And if they show that watch to their friends and claim it's a Rolex they are just continuing the lie. Now the Chinese do or can make some very nice watches; but they should just put their own brand names on them. I have some nice Chinese watches that have Chinese brand names on them and I'm proud of those watches they don't pretend to be something that they aren't and they stand on their own merits.

      This is an absolutely ridiculous view. Fakes and originals do not look the same!
      Replica watches are utterly retarded and I'll explain why. Cheap replicas are dog shit quality with crappy $9 Chinese movements that have beat errors in excess of 5 milliseconds, wildly differing amplitudes and usually gain or lose at least 80-100 seconds a day. They're worthless watches that can't even tell the time properly.
      For not much more money than a crappy Rolex Submariner fake, you could get a Submariner homage Invicta Pro Diver with an extremely accurate 21,600 bph Seiko movement that losses or gains only 2 seconds a day. The watch is far better quality than a fake costing a similar amount.
      Why buy a fake when you can buy something actually decent and real?! A close friend has a fake Breitling and although I'd never tell him, it's the most embarrassing piece of shit I've ever seen in my life. The printing on the dial is garbage and smudged, the hour makers are all different sizes, the bracelet is the flimsiest piece of crap imaginable and it keeps horrible time - it was 4 seconds out after just 1 hour.
      The only guarantee of even half decent quality and time keeping is when replicas use ETA valjoux movements or something similar. Then you're spending several hundred dollars on a replica watch that has no warranty when you could get a really nice Hamilton or Tissot for the same amount of money.
