Received this this morning.
Bought as a nice looking Tissot Chronograph but close inspection by me revealed a @%$# FAKE FAKE FAKE.
Just look at the second photo oscillating weight grrrr thought I had scored a nice Tissot to go with my other ones but alas it was not to be.

So took it to my WM who is a lot more polite than me and he confirmed "copy watch".

Seller was totally unaware that it was fake and after a conversation with him he agreed on a full refund, I am sure he will be having words to the shop he bought it from new several years ago.


What's really annoying is that it came complete with every thing and those bits were all genuine (box, books etc).

Also back from my WM this morning after a very minor repair was this new to me Invicta Titanium automatic pro diver, so I guess that's my wearing watch today

So there's a guy named Dave Hickey who is a historian/critic from UNLV. He writes about art, architecture and culture.
One of my favorite insights from him is in an essay explaining why he favors Las Vegas over Santa Fe. He says: "I prefer the genuine rhinestone over the fake pearl".
In your case the Pro Diver is the genuine rhinestone...

About to take my daughter out for her 16th birthday. And yes: she wears vintage watches too. My job is done.
