    Can anyone check this to verify if its authentic?

    Looks ok to me. Seems like a genuine seller with lots of positive feedback, good quality photos of the watch and all box/paperwork etc. Wouldn’t be too worried

    ^^^ just goes to show how good some of the reps are and the quality of the boxes etc.. now I’m off to nuke it :D

    To highlight to the mods to remove really was my intention. I had reported earlier and they were still there. Can’t rereport as the system won’t allow.

    Don’t take things so serious. You didn’t miss out on much.

    Just grabbed a couple of phone screenshots before o removed that Tag. A high quality rep with equally high quality box and probably warranty card!

    the new style warranty cards are all on a database now that can be checked online using the code from the card

    That’s all well and good if your savvy enough to know that. Unsuspecting buyers could be fooled by the quality and box, warranty card etc

    I'm in a Facebook group for some reason where they are selling "super clone grade" watches which claim to even have the same movement as the original, and a two year warranty. Some of them cost up to £1000.

    If you had £1000 to spend on a watch then why on earth would you spend it on a fake?

    Same chap as a few days ago. He should know the rules given how long he is on adverts.

    When an advert is removed to they get a notification on the app saying why? Or just an email notification?

    You get an email saying why it’s been removed, happened to me once when a fella selling a fake reported all my stuff, he was very bitter about his fake Rolex being removed

    If you only get an email then the seller may not know why it was removed (they could guess though!).

    Persistent folks end up on a watchlist, and I can knock them them down as soon as they are posted (it's two clicks for me); most get fed up eventually and take the hint


  • Registered Users Posts: 8,869 ✭✭✭893bet


    I find the seller suspicious

    https://www.adverts.ie/16148156

    Prob real. Some better pics in the add below. I am sus as he had no idea of value and took down one add and pumped up the price. Bracelet has seen better days....

    “It’s mint”! Hmmmm!


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,095 ✭✭✭ANXIOUS


    Something fishy going on here, the exact same pictures are up for another watch. Also seems the original accepted an offer of €700 and now this is up for sale for a €1k. Lovely watch.

    The watch is 100% genuine and lovely. The fake watch buster part is two people appear to be selling the exact same watch.

    How covered are you with buying a fake on eBay? Would PayPal support you on a claim? I see a lot of brand new Tag's there at good prices, coming from places like Bulgaria or even UK from time to time.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,232 ✭✭✭CantGetNoSleep


    Thanks - would my local watch repair shop / dealer verify authenticity for me? (would probably be taking it there to get band adjusted anyway)
