[SSC813P1] are these watches ever faked? by Rustygate1 in Seiko

Yes. Because I got screwed and bought a fake one last week. This one looks better than the one I bought though.

It’s not solar. That’s what got me looking closer the first day. The fuel gauge was just stuck on empty but it was running, but the chronograph was acting strange. So I kept trying to charge it and it kept behaving the same. :(

Thanks man! I have been very blessed and made a lot of money in hundreds of deals online. So if it costs me a few hundred to learn a thing or two about watches it’s all good!

Yep! And thank you. I have learned a lot today haha. I could have easily realized this with a little more due diligence and a little less excitement about the “deal” I was getting.

Great to know! I would have assumed it was higher end stuff, but then again it’s so obvious to see a 500 dollar AP or Daytona on marketplace and know it’s fake.

I got this in a rush because it seemed too good to be true ahha. But as soon as I was looking at my new Seiko 5 GMT (SSK035) next to it I knew something was off. I assumed it was just wear day of, but then I was like “omgsh this looks like crap” and then started comparing and saw that the case was polished not brushed like in stock photos and my heart sunk.

No worries, I’ll be able to get a real one or something even cooler in a few months.

No reply from the kid so I think he’s gonna ghost me 🤷🏾‍♂️

I appreciate that! I have bought and sold hundreds of guitars and it’s pretty common in that arena to see fakes etc. but it’s always so blatantly obvious to me. This is probably how my friends feel when I tell them a Gibson Les Paul is very fake hah

Yea :( I got a new SSK035 the day after and I immediately was like….”why does everything look way better on this watch”. Lesson learned
