Authenticity appraisal: Collectwatches detail observation
Authenticity identification: detailed observation of Collectwatches
A Collectwatch refers to a watch that is copied and manufactured based on the original watch, and is usually cheaper. Some unscrupulous merchants will take advantage of consumers' ignorance of Collectwatches and disguise them as genuine products. In order to prevent being deceived, we need to learn to authenticate Collectwatches. This article will start with the details and introduce in detail how to judge the authenticity of the watch.
- Watch case
Genuine watch cases are usually finely crafted, have no obvious flaws, feel comfortable in the hand, and have a smooth surface. The case of a Collectwatch will have many problems, such as surface defects, obvious corner wear, and uneven surfaces. The case of a Collectwatch is often coated with a thick layer of paint, which is easier for experienced people to identify.
- meter dial
The fonts on the genuine dial are very clear and have no jagged edges. The spacing between the fonts is also very appropriate and there will be no ghosting. The Collectwatch is different. The gaps between letters may be uneven, causing the spacing between adjacent letters to be too large or too small. There will also be jagged or burrs on the edges of the letters, giving the impression that they are not clear and precise enough.
- pointer on a gauge
The hands of the genuine watch are very thin, the sharpness of the top of the hands and the distance from the dial are very suitable, and the hands will not shake. The hands of Collectwatches will be relatively thick, and the sharpness of the top of the hands and the distance from the dial often deviate, and there will also be obvious shaking.
- bottom cover
Genuine watches usually have the manufacturer's logo, serial number and material identification on the bottom cover. For Collectwatches, the bottom cover is often very simple, and may not even have any logo. If you find that the bottom cover is simply marked, the material is not strong enough, or it has a lot of wear and tear, then you should consider the authenticity of the watch.
- Weight
Pick up the watch, weight is a very important symbol. Since Collectwatches are often made from cheaper materials, they are usually lighter than genuine watches. If the watch is relatively light, you need to consider not only its authenticity but also its quality.
Based on the above five points, you can initially judge the authenticity of the watch. Of course, there are other ways to identify authenticity, such as by checking the quality of the internal movement, the manufacturing process of the outer cage, the workmanship of the strap, etc. As long as we have sufficient knowledge and experience, we can effectively avoid financial losses and emotional harm caused by purchasing Collectwatches.
