Fake watches

LeonDeBayonne · Aug 16, 2019

I don't know if this has already been discussed here, but fakes designs have unfortunately improved quite significantly over the past few years , so one can expect more of them to come to the market.

I also do not understand how can an e-retailer like this survive and not get shut down.

Who exactly would shut it down? Contact info says Guangzhou, China, ... the Chinese authorities could, but what would be their interest?

"Is discussion of fake / replica watches or clocks permitted?

A: Absolutely not, in the strongest terms. Fake watches or clocks have no place here, and neither do people who wear fake watches, sell fake watches, or pass off fake watches and in most case fake parts of watches. While some topics may cause anger from one or more parties, this one will earn you the wrath of everyone on the board that owns a real Omega or other high end watch. The only exception to this is in pointing out a fake as a warning to other members, or assisting members in avoiding fake watches." (my emboldening)

I fully concur with these rules. My only goal was to alert the community, that's all.

By posting a link to a counterfeit watch site?

Right. I see your point. It you read my former 416 posts, there is no discussion or showings of fakes whatsoever. But still, I believe that people are better off being informed of what's out there. Anyway, sorry for the confusion and close the thread.
