Was browsing Reddit earlier and stumbled onto r/Chinatime
The sheer breadth of fakery at the "low" end of the scale is breathtaking in its scope.
One lad was showing of his fake Seiko, I knew from a chat on her around December that Casio were being faked too but the amount of tat looky likes that people are buying is bloody mental.
Grand Seiko fakes, Casio's, they have a thread requesting fake FP Journé...
And it's likely going to happen!
It was dodgy enough with "high quality" but now they are faking everything.
There has to be some point where risk/reward/margin cross to make $15 fakes profitable.
Just as an example, and because I'm the 1st to moan about no pics :P

That's a decent copy. From a counterfeiter's perspective it makes a lot more sense to knock out entry level knock offs, less scrutiny, less discerning buyers more willing to buy online unseen. The indices, lume pip and font on date wheel are wrong. The chapter wheel and bezel ring are too straight for a Seiko

I'll be the 1st to admit, I know absolutely nothing about Seiko divers but with them climbing in popularity and price!
It's another watch on my check very carefully list.0 -

Possibly - I've no idea what movement is in that. Seiko movements are cheap, it isn't beyond belief that they could include a legit 4R36.Roycropper63 wrote: »Was it not the movement on that Seiko wrong too. How was the date wheel wrong?
Thanks
The font is way different on a genuine Seiko date wheel, the 6 is the giveaway - compare to this:
