Fake watches - how do you tell.

There usually are clues - OH bought a Calvin Klein watch from a guy in the street in Hong Kong for the equivalent of £1.50!

Didn't really expect it to be genuine, but it was cheaper than a battery for a Casio in the UK and it looked smart.

Now the battery is dead maybe it needs to go on Gumtree or Ebay? :roll:

No, but I bet there are some fakes selling for genuine prices. I wouldn't know what was genuine and what wasn't.

In that case you are the perfect punter for anyone less than legitimate!

If you do decide to buy one please go to a reputable dealer, and pay with a credit card just in case!

Agreed, why I'd probably buy from the high street or via somewhere like advised above. But I'd still only have their word it was genuine.

Ok. Now I'm nothing like an expert or even an enthusiast. But I've always fancied a premium watch. Everything I've seen has been £2000 plus and I may well treat myself sometime soon

But what this?

Just a load of tat. End of, not even worth a comment

Random piece of advice to anyone considering buying a replica watch.... DO NOT USE THE link above ukswisswatches they are known scammers and whilst they will send you a watch it will be nothing like the pictures or description on their website!

There, fixed that for ya :thumbsup:
For the price of some of these 'good' fakes, you can get genuine, warrantied watches that will last longer.
E.g. something like this for around £160 - peanuts. 300m water resistant, sapphire crystal, leather and NATO straps.
