Is there a cottage industry for watch movements?
Are there any replicas of watch movements? The answer must be yes. Nowadays, there are many articles on the Internet about identifying the authenticity of watches. Many netizens who don’t understand watches will fall into some misunderstandings. Let's talk about this issue today.
Identify counterfeit watch movements, all imported Swiss watches must have their movements manufactured in Germany and Switzerland. If it is found that the movement used is made in Japan, China or other countries, the watch is counterfeit. All imported Japanese watches must be made in Japan. If it is found that the movement used is made in Germany, Germany, Switzerland or other countries, the watch must also be fake.
Look at the movement:First of all, we should be very familiar with the movement model and movement logo used in real watches. If we encounter a completely transparent high imitation watch, we can distinguish the authenticity like the palm of our hand. Secondly, let’s all take a closer look at the movement’s text. The text engraving on the real movement is clear and beautiful, while the fake watch is rough and has no aesthetic feeling.
sound:Generally, except for fake watches such as 2824.2836 with German and Swiss movements, the working frequency of other movements is 21600. You just have to pick it up and listen to it. Almost all ticks are slower. Most real watches these days operate over 28800, but many real watches are relatively slow, so this is just one of them.
polishing:This does not need to be lengthy, usually, fake watches are not polished. However, there are many polished fake watch movements on the market, but its rough manufacturing and processing are easier to spot with glasses.
structure:(ETA2824 cannot be imitated, because each movement has its own unique structure.) Watches made in China use very complex movements, such as Germany, Germany, and Switzerland. Buyers must pay special attention to Japanese and domestic movements: some fake and inferior product movements are installed on watches. Relatively speaking, buying a watch from a reputable brand will not have these problems.
