Other information:
This video's purpose is to educate people on how to authenticate items and spot differences. The replica item which was compared next to the genuine watch is one of the best versions available on the market at the moment the video was uploaded.
More information, that is constantly updated, can be found in our written guides available on our website for free.
The quality of a picture may influence decisions when it comes to the authenticity of an item - make sure that you always inspect items using high-quality pictures, and/or in-person too, whenever this is possible.
If you are authenticating a watch, remember to always look at all of the listed tells! There are replicas available on the market that have mixed up parts (e.g.: replica watch with authentic bezel replacing the replica bezel), and some of those watches spots may cause you uncertainty. If you are interested in the authentication service Legit Check By Ch offers, please read more on the following link: legitcheck.app/authentication...
The purpose of our guides is to prevent fake watches from being sold as authentic and to raise awareness of the differences.

[@DavidHilley]

At 7:43 you can see that the genuine 15300 "Automatic" text is misaligned with the rectangle and slightly skewed on a diagonal. I wasn't expecting that.

[@LegitCheckByCh]

Good one, David! It is a known fact that genuine manufacturers sometimes don’t get everything perfect, even though that is their ultimate goal!

[@mastershredder2002]

@@LegitCheckByCh I'm sorry my friend, it looks like you have two fake APs here.

[@anelemhlongo5203]

Everyone thought the fake was the real

[@LegitCheckByCh]

Don't take it too serious, it's just a game 😜

[@jeremiahdagcutan7759]

except on the minor rust on the bracelet replica and the thicker case size. why i am i seeing a better and more consistent finish on the replica model.

[@LegitCheckByCh]

At first, it might look so, but if you zoom in on the elements, differences are noticeable. Furthermore, something that we cannot express in videos, is the general feeling you get when touching, holding, wearing the authentic watch VS the fake one. The fit and finish of the genuine watch is of much higher quality in comparison with the replica.

[@hellosir4649]

Because paying full price for watches is a scam

[@Smood47]

[@simonbenn5340]

I'm going to start building bird houses for 100k too!! Nothing in this world should cost this much. I'm a general contractor and I'm still lost on why watches cost that much its just retarded!! A big house or a small watch... same price... but we still have stupid people!! 🙄

[@user-vg7jc7hy6z]

Replica looks better on tapestry

[@LegitCheckByCh]

Everyone can decide for themselves :)

[@alijunaid6845]

U really can't tell the difference in the real world....yes it's possible in a closed chamber or lab

[@LegitCheckByCh]

It’s not impossible, but it can be tricky and it definitely requires a lot of attention

[@gercegedair1359]

I personally don't own any replicas but I do have homage watches and one of my favorite homage is the steinhart 42mm.I love the design and look of many luxury watches but wouldn't mind a homage version with seiko or miyota or a cheap Swiss movement, as long I was getting the look (never been into the movements) I'm a car guy too , now that is something I want to the inside (engine performance) to be top notch and would pay accordingly.

[@laurentn7682]

Thanks for your video, on the macro video details looks easy to match but i don’t think it’s so easy without the genuine near. I hope you will compare le Blancpain fifty fathoms in a next video.

[@LegitCheckByCh]

Thank you, Laurent! As mentioned in the video, the mobile phone camera is pretty often very useful and reliable to check small and fine details. As for the Blancpain, we will add it on our list and look into it.

[@dusanstanic1462]

Why you didnt compare 2 15400?

[@LegitCheckByCh]

Unfortunately we were not able to source both the genuine and the replica watches, while having the exact same model. We considered the differences between the 15300 and 15400 to be in general just a couple (case diameter and clasp) and we were also able to highlight differences in terms of quality and aesthetics between the genuine and the replica watch, because of the common elements/design.

[@Wienerblutable]

That r two different APs not ideal to compare. U get the same clone for both

[@LegitCheckByCh]

It is not ideal, but the compromise was minimum, in our opinion

[@Do7a1337]

If you can register AP watch in their website with the S/N and warranty number it means it’s real?

[@LegitCheckByCh]

Most probably yes, though we recommend in this case to still get in touch with an authorized dealer and ask for a second opinion.

[@user-vg7jc7hy6z]

Can u review quarts version

[@LegitCheckByCh]

We will look into this option. Do you have a specific reference number you would like us to cover?

[@unintendedxxx5450]

They copy iwatch too..as i know

[@user-vg7jc7hy6z]

How did u get hold of replica

[@LegitCheckByCh]

Unfortunately we cannot disclose that

[@adamnorris9870]

Right
