Fake Or Real??


Recommended Posts

Not even a nice looking fake. Hopefully eBay act promptly now Geo has reported it.  Sadly eBay tend to drag their feet & someone will for sure be conned & the seller will just disappear into the sunset. To add the seeds of doubt I have asked the seller many questions.

I'd venture another opinion that the photos are of the real thing but that this is some other scam.

The dial and case look to be an accurate copy of this http://www.watches.co.uk/archived-watch/9046/omega-speedmaster-automatic/

Usually fakes have the odd dial marker offset or poor quality printing. Also the inclusion of the half link in the bracelet seems like an extreme measure for a fake (but I'm not an expert).

My guess is that you'd recieve something else or nothing at all if you tried to buy.

Just my 2 cents, but definitely not my £60!

The problem I have with blatant fakes is it is a straight forward con. In many cases being supported by organised crime. There are thousands of these to be found in holiday resorts Spain/Greece etc. If it is a copy & sold as is then we'll ok.

They sell these things in Europe?  I thought the EU customs people were all over the fakes.  Down here in Australia customs will allow you to get through customs with a fake on your arm and maybe three or four watches in your bags for friends and family but anything more than that they confiscate.

 

You can find fakes at the fleamarkets but it's a furtive business and everything is under the table.  You have to ask.  Personally I think that they are a no-no.  The money goes to finance crime and other appalling stuff.

Customs of EU countries cannot check every shipment that comes in, and pretty much gave up on checking on people too.

 

Also many people nowadays buys counterfeits on the Internet because it's cheaper and there is much more choice. You can guess  the seller is not declaring "fake watch" and not even replica or "original Rolex value $100".
