A forum for identifying and avoiding wholly or partially non-authentic wristwatches --
including counterfeit, replica, Frankenwatches and other fake or bastardized pieces.
Our objective here is to DISCOURAGE the sales and purchase of counterfeit
wristwatch and jewelry products. It is also for helping people identify
watches that are mostly authentic, but have been: altered for personal customization,
repaired with inappropriate parts or modified to be passed off as more valuable pieces.
Including a photo of the piece you are talking about ALWAYS helps! You can learn how to post a photo here: How To Include Photos In Your Postings. 'For sale' postings, commercial solicitation and ads are not allowed. Links to Internet auctions are acceptable only if their purpose is to question the authenticity of a product or provide new clues for identifying counterfeit products. Links that appear to be 'shills' promoting the sale of counterfeit products will be deleted. Links to websites of sellers of counterfeit items are not permitted -- we know they are out there and do not need to be encouraging them by sending traffic to their sites. Privacy, additional policies and administrivia are covered in the Terms of Use.
: Hi all,
: although not a vintage Heuer, this Monaco came up on eBay through
: one of my weekly searches. I'm positively sure it's a fake as I
: do not recall ever seeing any CW2113's with such a dial
: (especially the chronograph section - time intervals are
: incorrect). Furthermore, hour lume markers on dials seem far too
: small. The clasp looked cheap and tacky. Regardless, this watch
: was sold for a fortune on eBay Australia. Please refer to link:
: I'm skeptical of authenticity but can someone confirm it? I feel
: rather sorry for the poor soul that thought this was a genuine
: watch and paid a mint for it.
Yes, I am amazed that someone would buy a watch for that amount, $AU1600+, which by the way is nearly $US1600 at the monent, from someone with zero sales and zero purchases, and now 18 days later still has zero feedback. I wonder what went wrong?!! I am not in a position to comment too much on the watch, but compared to my Tag Monaco WW2110-0's bracelet, this one is a bit light. Fortunately, I have been lucky with my EBay purchases, though I do my homework. You can learn a lot from what people have bought and sold in the past. First place I look.
