These are 5 things to check to make sure it’s authentic:

1) Ticking

An original watch will not create any obvious noise or even ticking sounds. This is because it consists of tiny parts that have been assembled carefully to create the perfect watch mechanism. Replicas, however, is lack this quality and will create ticking sounds that can be easily identified by placing the watch close to your ear.

2) Weight

A branded watch is usually made with precious stones, crystal, gold, silver, heavy metals, and metal alloys. Also, they are equipped with a dozen tiny moving parts which make a branded watch heavier and sturdier. An ordinary watch lacks this and is nowhere as heavy, robust, sturdy, or durable. There is always going to be a noticeable difference in weight between a real and a fake watch since a real watch is always heavier.

3) Stamps

Designer watches have a couple of stamps placed all around their body. Look for these stamps and check if they really are original. You can easily find out which model has which stamps placed where and how many there are on the watch online.

4) Model Number

Not only can you identify a fake by comparing serial numbers, but you can also check for the model number as well. Do your research online to find out exactly what the model number of the genuine watch should be.

5) Packing

One of the first things you’ll notice when unboxing a watch and also one of the most important things to differentiate between a genuine and fake is the packaging. The box case should be of good quality and exactly like the pictures online. Moreover, it should be sturdy and should not be poor looking. Also, check the papers inside for low-quality print, fake information, or a missing warranty or documents.
