Counterfeit Watch Database

Post by BostonCharlie »

I was briefly fooled by a fake watch being sold by a private seller. My idea is to post information here about these kinds of counterfeits (and their sellers) in the hopes that buyers googling around might be able to avoid being scammed. Of course, a good listing photo and description doesn't mean the seller won't ship a counterfeit instead of the real thing, so -- as always -- caveat emptor.

Good idea!

I recently came across one on Reddit, but the seller pulled the listing as soon as I called it out.

Poshmark user tannerhickson here appears to be selling a fake Fortis here. He has other fake looking Fortis listings, too.

Leah Byrd has this dubious Seiko listing on Mercari. Not an expert, but the bezel doesn't look authentic to me. Misaligned chapter ring, lol. Seller previous sold this "turtle". Again, would be glad to learn I am mistaken.

Mercari seller cocorete has this dubious "G-Shock" offering:

Update to say that not long after reporting it to Mercari the listing is down. That's cool.
