Take the movement oit of your feiko and order some new parts and build your own! Then it turns into a great story :) As for the first watch you ordered - unless it is real gold - one should always expect gold colouri g to come off if worn against skin amd clothing...good luck!

That watch is probably worth the 160 you paid. Good finishing & probably an reliable Seiko made movement in there. Id say you've landed on your feet there.

thank you very much sir for this information .. i am this very close to ordering a seiko 5 in pindudu and taobao .. but just like you said the price is too good to be true ... i have a bit of an affordable collection of watches now ( casio and timex watches ) and i was hoping to upgrade myself into a 200-300 usd range of watches like seikos , orient . tissot ... this fake seiko it may look good and cheap but i wont feel great knowing that i am wearing a fake , its like i am deceiving others specially myself ... its the feeling the watch gave me that i started collecting in the first place .

@fulltechahead Жыл бұрын
I am going to update the situation...I know a lot more about the watch now...it is definitely not a genuine Seiko...the movement is NH35A...but the crown appears to be a base metal, not stainless steel...it changed color after 3-4 months. I suspect that the movement is likely a chinese copy of the NH35A...The real Premier by Seiko was only produced in a real stainless steel case, and sold for about 6-700$. I will present my findings online soon.
@TheWatcherMax10 ай бұрын
The movement actually installed is a NH39A. No reason to fake this in a cheap watch since you can find those movement as a consumer directly for about €25. I have the same NH39A in a Pagani Design watch. Also the case and crown etc might be fakes but that doesn't mean the movement is fake. When you get these movements separately they come with a plastic crown and usually an extra stem with threads on, that you cut to length and screw the crown onto.
@johnwang99142 жыл бұрын
There is a chance that the calibre (movement) is still SEIKO as SEIKO sells generic versions of their calibres such as the NH35A (an unbranded version of Seiko's 4R35 calibre) to other manufacturers and watchmakers in general. Usually the weight is painted yellow to show that it is the unbranded Seiko movement. Technically, the unbranded movement is a slightly improved and updated version of the Seiko calibre it is based on. Sure there are the Chinese Seagull movements and the Japanese Miyota movements that are also popular with replica manufacturers but the price of the Seiko unbranded movements is comparable. The issue with the fakes is that they have little interest in quality control overall, not in the quality of the mechanisms as those are often just purchased from Seiko, Miyota or Seagull.
@pokie6087 Жыл бұрын
Indeed. We don't get to see the watch closely but the open heart layout suggests this movement is a Seiko 4R38 which they sell to 3rd party manufacturers as the NH38. Plenty of micro brand makers use this movement. I have an Accurist that has it. Also noteworthy is the milled clasp as opposed to the cheap pressed item Seiko use. All in all, putting aside that it's fake. For the money it looks pretty good

I bought a Seiko 5 here in China. It looked super real and felt like good quality. After a month of use I checked the writings on the watch with a macro lense. I noticed a typo on the word "crystal". Then noticed that the front and back of the watch indicated different informations. Your video finished to convinced me that my watch was fake when I checked the "warranty". I paid over a hundred dollars for it and didn't suspect a thing as it was my first watch...

One correction: The red lined plastic cover on the watches caseback is *NOT* a sign of fakery. A large number of companies (in all price ranges) use those stickers. I still find it hard to believe replicators would put so much effort into copying such low priced watches. If you're going to take the time and effort to make a convicing fake Seiko, why not fake a Grand Seiko or some other higher cost model. It's like a counterfeiter making single dollars instead of $100 dollar bills!
@fulltechahead2 жыл бұрын
indeed...but I think the turnover is faster on lower priced pieces, and people suspect expensive brands may be fake, and exercise more caution when buying.
@DarthPlaya2 жыл бұрын
@@fulltechahead People suspecting and exercising more caution is a valid point, but counterfeiters feed on the knowledge that their are always going to be the not so diligent buyers to prey on. The economics of counterfeiting 101 shows that copying single dollars is just as expensive as copying $100 bills (not to mention that jail time is the same if your caught faking $1 or $100) The higher profit margins on the more expensive pieces will usually outweigh any amount of money made by the faster turnover of lower priced copies.
