How to Identify Replica Watches for Common Consumers

Ⅰ. Replica Brand
Counterfeiting of brand generally comes in high-end brand name, because the manufacturers have access to get high profits. The trademark and appearance are exactly the same. These products are impeccable roughly looked at. Even the packaging, instructions, birth certificate, nearly everything the replica watches also have what the real watches have. However, in the selection of movements, parts and materials, watch makers usually choose poor-grade one, in order to low the producing cost. Although the price of replica watches is much lower than the original brand, the manufacturers still can obtain high profits.

Ⅱ. Fake Parts of Appearance
At present, the price of appearance parts accounted for a high proportion. First, indentify fake diamonds. The natural diamond is the hardest object, which is set at 10 grade hardness, however, the artificial diamond just at 8 or 9 grade. As for Crystal, it is softer than natural and man-made diamond, and it is fragile. Artificial diamonds and crystals have very low price. Therefore, when you buy diamond watch, you must pay more attention to the authenticity of diamonds.

Second, indentify K gold, gold-plating. K gold and gold-plating are both yellow. It is hard to differ only according to the color. K Gold includes 10K gold, 14K gold and 18K gold. It is very hard to distinguish without detecting instrument. Besides, the thickness of gold-plating is a very important factor to identify.

Third, indentify the glass of watch. There are three kinds of glass: plexiglass, ordinary quartz glass and sapphire crystal glass. It is difficult to distinguish quartz glass and sapphire crystal glass. But as for the price and quality, these two kinds of glass have great differences. We have a easy method to indentify them: drop water on the glass and then set up the glass, if the water is always spheroidal and not dispersed, this kind of glass is sapphire crystal glass.
