Title: how do you tell fake seiko from real?
Post by: bailer on March 17, 2016, 11:11:24 PM

Hi
As per title. I'm about to get my first Seiko Military.
 I need a list of description on fake military seiko that people usually encountered.

Thanks in advance.

Where are you getting your Seiko military from? If you are getting from the AD or watch shops, it should be genuine. Most of the military models from Seiko cost less than RM1k, so I doubt that it would be profitable for the pirates to replicate such watches. In actual fact, I have seen replica Seikos only a few times in my life; and they were very light and you could tell that those were non-genuine pieces instantly without opening the casebacks.

I guess you were right. It would have make more sense to replicate a higher price model.
Thank you so much for your reply.  :D
