A SECOND OF YOUR TIME Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 I was told today by a customer that their watchmaker said I had sold them 2 fake longines watches. I was upset to the point of asking for proof-although I have been tinkering with and selling watches online for a couple of years I have never before been called a fraudster - can someone tell me how to spot a fake Longines, so I know what the hell I am talking about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegrasser Posted August 14, 2007 Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Some reps are so good that you do have to open it up to see. I had a gen opened once and my jeweler said it was a fake. He was wrong. He was thrown that inside the case back read China on an ESQ Minx. He said Movado would not do that. Well they do for ESQ. I met a watchseller in the mall that took a replica Tag in trade in error. So even an expert can be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
