May 30, 2013 · Replica watches sold through more legitimate streams are relatively rare. If you are buying a watch via a kiosk on the street for $200, then you expect it to be fake. If you buy a watch from a ...

The Swiss watch industry is an absolute giant, making up a third of the entire global market. That’s pretty impressive for a sector that prides itself on the rarity and exclusivity of its product. Overall, Switzerland is producing some 20m watches per year, and it’ll be no surprise that, by market share, Rolexcaps that, producing around a million w...
Those are huge numbers in relation to the watch industry, but generally luxury watches aren’t worn by the majority of people, so you would expect that in terms of fakes, it sits pretty low down in the overall priority of things. As it happens, despite the relatively high cost of luxury watches compared to other fashion items, it still sits in the t...
More often than not, the only interaction people have with fake watches are with the ones that don’t look particularly convincing. It’s true that these extremely low-quality products make up the bulk of the fake watch production, but there is an element of bias going on. Only the fake watches that are noticeably bad register as being fake, and that...
A question you might be wondering about is how the fake watch industry is capable of improving the accuracy of its production. High quality machinery used by the Swiss watch industry is incredibly expensive, prohibitively enough that many Swiss brands themselves cannot afford them. Well, this is where the fake industry really doubles down on its mo...
It’s an obvious thought that Rolex would be the most faked watch brand since it is generally the most popular Swiss watchmaker anyway, and that goes some way as to answering the question of why fake watches are so much cheaper. When Rolexspends $100m every year on marketing to make itself the most popular watch brand, that’s a whole lot of extra ca...
That misplaced confidence in the safety of lesser-known brands also applies to older watches. The vintage watch market is a beast in and of itself, operating independently of the brands themselves—but still it’s a target for fakers. Classic models like the Double Red Sea-Dweller and Paul Newman Daytona are replicated in vast quantities, with consid...
So, if the poor-quality fakes are purchased for not very much by people who know what they’re buying, who’s purchasing the more accurate fakes? Whilst many will be sold misleadingly to unsuspecting victims thinking they’re getting a good deal, many are bought by people who know exactly what they’re getting, people who are seeking to buy the most ac...
Fake watch manufacturers are known for using an original example to scan and replicate, but even then, there are small details that just aren’t quite right. Surprisingly, there’s an entire community dedicated to making these fake watches closer to the original. Shades of colour, thickness of print, size of markers—if they’re out, even by a small am...
Pull all this together and what does it mean for someone hoping not to get stung? Well, to be honest, it means that you can’t rely upon yourself to reliably determine if a watch is fake or not. Oftentimes, a real example of the watch needs to be present and, for watches with a closed case back, as most Rolexes are, you need to take the case back of...
So, what’s happening about all this? Truth is, the industry is at a bit of a loss as to what to do. It can’t stop the production, it can’t stop the purchase or the shipment, it can try to stop the import—although many fake watches arrive in the country disguised within other products—but ultimately it’s a bit stuck. A bit like the film industry tri...

Jan 22, 2010 · I actually own several Balmer watches which I purchased from Ubid. Are they made in Switzerland as claimed? Who the heck knows but I doubt it from the information I have gathered. Are they worth the MSRP of $2500-$5000...no but I guarantee that no one has ever paid that for one...so I disregard MSRP's of everything.
