Some of the finest watches on the market seem to be the most prone for having replica watches copied off of them. As scary as it is, there are hundreds of thousands of counterfeit movado watches exchanging hands from suppliers to customers. What makes it difficult is that some of the fake movado watches appear to be an exact model of the real deal from the exterior of the watch.
Not all counterfeit movado watches are exactly the same, as some are generic look-alike models. However, there are the fake watches that appear to be the real model. The suppliers make the watch look identical from the exterior by including details such as the manufacturer's logo, the serial number, and the exact design. With some of the counterfeit models looking identical, how can you avoid purchasing one?
There are a number of things you can do to avoid purchasing a fake movado watch. The first thing is to know the price of the watch from various retailers. Many times a counterfeit watch will sell for around $200 to $250. You should know that no real luxury watch of movado's will sell new for under $250. While there are several discount websites on the internet, not one of them will offer you a watch more than 50% off of the retail value. So beware of the actual price compared to the price you are being offered.
Another thing to pay close attention to is when you are purchasing the watch. There are no new luxury watches that will sell during clearances or fire sales. Some retail stores may attempt to sell counterfeit movado watches during these times with the hope that customers will buy thinking it is because of the sell. Although it may seem like a good deal, you are actually getting ripped off.
One of the best ways to identify a counterfeit movado watch from the real thing is paying attention to the close details. As mentioned above, some of the replicas are identical. However, many will confuse minor features such as placing the logos on poorly or marking an incorrect serial number. Other features that may be incorrect include the supplier placing hands on your watch that are actually from a different model of movado's. It is the minor features that stand out the most from a real movado watch.
It's a scary thought to know that there are thousands of counterfeit movado watches out there, and many customers are unaware of how common it is. As long as you know the watch you are looking for and pay close attention to the minor details, you should have no worries with purchasing a fake movado watch.
