Do Not Mistake A Cheap Timepiece For An Expensive One

If you find a great deal on a luxury watch brand you haven't heard of, should you worry that it is a counterfeit? There are lots of timepieces that resemble the name brands but are obviously not the same. Fake watches copy the well known brand names you probably have heard of. But there is another category of wristwatch products that include many expensive ladies watches being sold on the Internet and through magazine ads that are not actually counterfeit, but they are sold using outrageous misrepresentations and should be equally avoided.
The fake watches are not nearly as fine quality a product as the real ones are but are advertised in a deceptive way. They are sold under their own brand name, so they are not fakes of another company's brand. The difference is in the quality of materials and the quality of workmanship that is used in the famous brands compared to their cheaply made copies. The typical things that are done include a few things like are a combination of an impressive Swiss, German or European sounding name, or an impressive recommended retail price, or fancy verbiage that sounds like what a luxury watch brand such as Cartier Ballon Bleu would say, or impressive comparisons of features to those of other luxury timepieces, or a special price you can buy it for that is incredibly below the retail price.
No one could actual charge that suggested price and never would even attempt to. Is there a secret to their low price? Simple, they are cheap watches. There are laws in place that deal with this method of advertising, but many companies either get around them or ignore them completely. In order for a person to avoid being taken in by any of these tactics, they need to do their homework and read a about the real luxury watches before they go out and spend their hard earned money on something that might be practically worthless.
There are some tips on spotting luxury watch imposter brands that a person should be aware of. No matter how good a bargain hunter you are, do not fall for anyone selling a good watch for less than two hundred and fifty dollars. No real luxury watch sells new for more than 50% off of its genuine retail price, even from the most aggressive discount dealers. Avoid the store that is having a different kind of sale every week if you do not want a cheap copy. A real luxury brand will be well discussed on the Internet so do a search for the brand name and if you can't find something like a Cartier Ballon Bleu review or collectors and owners discussing the merits of the brand, it is unlikely to be a true luxury brand. The type of retail outlet that you make your purchase from is as important as the make of the watch. When using sites such as e bay, don’t believe that you can get a watch that is real at a price that is well below its actual value. Only in rare cases do these ultra-cheap imposter brands have official company websites that showcase the products. Just because you see a incredibly sophisticated website doesn't ensure that the brand is actually a valid luxury brand.
A person who thinks that they are getting a once in a lifetime deal on a quality timepiece is most likely wasting their money. High quality watches that are handcrafted and made with good materials do not have to be sold at one tenth of their stated value. If you think that you are saving a bunch of money because you got seventy five percent off, that is not true because it is a discount off of an inflated value. People get swept up by the idea that they are getting a steal of a deal and stop looking at the obvious clues that something is not right about the product they are buying.
