Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Fake watch busters

Could be a cheap Chinese knock off, maybe Tommys less successful brother? Hmmm
But, is there any such thing as a genuine Tommy Hilfiger watch?
The brand seems to make horribly derivative, pedestrian clothes, I can't see how they could make anything genuine in a side line like watches.
I'd wear Bord Na Mona watch before a Tommy fecking Hilfiger, it would be just as 'authentic'.0 -

It was removed quickly
He’s venting on another advert now
Spat his dummy out
It happens a lot actually, folks who have had an ad removed spamming others. The other ad has been cleaned up.
It's not possible to pre-screen all of the ads by a human, but there is some work done in the background before an ad goes live. Can't catch em all though, which is why we chat here 0 -

Fake Patek for €1234 and he bought it for €300 but doesn't know if it's genuine :rolleyes:

Saw that Mr John O'Citizen and I must admit I was tempted to play along for a while but then I changed my mind and nuked it! That’s one of the more obvious fakes. Had one last week where the seller listed a replica AP and I removed it. They then photoshopped out the AP logo and relisted :cool:
I know somebody mentioned screenshots of the fakes but in the vast majority of cases they are so blatantly obvious you wouldn’t be learning much from a screenshot. It’s the ones that are priced close to what a genuine one would be that need more careful scrutiny. Might have something worth discussing in the coming days

It was myself looking for the screenshots, it was more for entertainment value like the above rather than education. From the state of some of the pictures people put on adverts it’d be hard to tell some fakes0 -

Thanks Mr John O'Citizen,
Maybe if that seller had listed that at 15-20 grand I would have been a lot more hesitant to comment on his listing. But pricing it at €1234 forced me to ask him a question and his answer sealed it as a total fake.
The bigger brand fakes for most will only be caught by the silly low prices. We know Patek and the likes of AP should be costing thousands so it's easy to call them out. But honestly there are not many who would actually have first hand experience with the brands. Someday a really good fake will appear on adverts with a high price and none of us will catch it. The buyer will get burned badly, not sure how we can stop it from happening.
As for the photo's it will be good to post them just for a laugh more than anything else. I don't expect any education from them at all.0 -
