Amusing Look At Fake Watch Store Watches-brand.com; Worth The Look For The Laughs
When did Citizen watches start to become the target of fakes? Its true. I first learned that Watches-brandwatches-dealer was selling fake Citizen Campanola watches, such as the Grand Complication. This sort of makes sense as the watches are all above $2000 and feature quartz movements. But then I learned that they didn't stop there. They are making fake watches based on authentic Citizen watches which themselves are only a few hundred dollars brand new. I get the market for the fake Rolex or Patek Philippe, but what is the message of faking a Citizen? Something like "I'd really like people to think I am middle class third world country, because I identify that with the highest level of success I'll ever possibly reach, but my status is merely enough to convince people I know how to tell the time if I am wearing a watch." Yes, this statement is odd and contrived, but so is faking a Citizen. Not that there is anything wrong with Citizen, I proudly own a few myself, but I'd never see a re

First time buyer
I'd like your thoughts on my experience (so far). Let me start by saying I do not consider myself a collector and have never before today spent over $500 on a watch.I really hope I'm not getting screwed. I just purchased my first Rolex today. A Oyster Perpetual 36mm with a Red Grape dial. After doing a lot of research online for sellers with positive ratings I came across a company called Avi & Co New York. They are a seller on Crono24 with great reviews and have excellent reviews across Yelp. They also have a physical store in New York.As I wait for my watch to be shipped and delivered I am having some buyers remorse anxiety of buying from an unauthorized dealer.

The seller contacted me today and confirmed he received my wire payment and got my shipping inform
