"watch people" always know instantly. but in case you're hoping to impress people with your nice watch, 99.9% of people are not watch people. wish customers are people who saw a facebook ad. and if you look at the comments on a few facebook watch ads, you'll see that these are people who know NOTHING about the watch market. they might recognise a rolex, but they literally wouldn't know if a black bay 58 is a $4000 watch or a $200 watch. they don't know that seiko makes dive watches in dramatically different price ranges. they don't know that a $100 curren that looks like a child's toy is just some marketing parasite gouging people for a $20 watch. and they don't understand that watches are not like socks, in that they are never sold at a 90% discount off their normal (rather than imaginary) price but having said that, and despite my preference for $30 chinese-branded watches, imo mr town watch is working a bit hard to prove that watch people will notice the difference. of *course* we can tell ... instantly. but i think these watches work pretty well as harmless costume jewellery if you're just going for a certain look. because watch people are convinced everybody is going to judge the value of their watch ... but 99.9% not only don't recognise your watch (unless it's a rolex), they also literally wouldn't care whether or not you spent too much money on a watch. they don't think your watch is interesting, and they're dreading the moment when you tell them how much it costs. always buy watches for your own entertainment, not to impress other people

If you're making a modded seiko the case alone is 80 bucks, kinda worth getting the wish watch for the parts.

Good video, however, I reckon a feiko for work is fine, wear it till it stops, then put an nh35 in it. At least I won't ruin my real one!

Great video. I bought a 23 jewel automatic Seiko 5 watch in Abu Dhabi in 1980. I have worn it almost every day since and it has never been mollycoddled, serviced or maintained. It's still running but quickly winds down when not worn and loses about 5 minutes a day. Coincidentally, also in 1980, I bought an almost identical Seiko 5 for my brother in law. He has a number of watches and a few days ago I half jokingly asked him if he had any spare watches to sell as my Seiko 5 was past its best. He said that he still had the Seiko 5 that I had bought him 40 years ago. The steel bracelet was broken and it has been in a drawer for at least 35 years as it wasn't cost effective to repair. To cut a long story short he gave me his Seiko 5 which I have repaired using part of the bracelet from my old watch. It looks almost new, keeps perfect time and holds its auto wind charge for at least 20 hours (I haven't tested it longer). Oh happy days!

You don't understand why they knock off Seikos? The real auto PADI is like 500 bucks. There are two markets for these fakes. 1) If they can produce a fake for 50 bucks and sell it for 150 to people willing to buy fakes to save $350. 2)Then sell a some for actual genuine retail to unsuspecting buyers thinking they're getting the real thing. They are making a killing. Especially in China, where most still live in poverty. A real example of pointless knock-offs are Casio watches. Their famous little plastic FW series are only about 15 bucks in Walmart. Yet i'ts nearly impossible to get a genuine on Ebay or Amazon. There are more fakes than real for a $15 plastic watch.

I bought a seiko, automatic turtle from wish. What turned up was a chrome plated alloy quartz. Got my money back purely as the movement was advertised as automatic and it was quartz...I thought I could use it for parts...NONE of it was desirable.

So easy to spot the one on the right says Automatic while the actual movement is quartz

I'd never be dumb enough to waste my money on a watch from Wish, I'm saving my money to order a Lomborghini Adventador from them. But seriously, if you order a Turd-le from Wish, you'll get what you pay for, and a lot less.

The quartz movement when it says automatic is a dead giveaway. I mean the tudor at least had an automatic movement and was pretty decent for a clone, noone would know and it's not like you're wearing a knockoff patek philippe or richard mille that would be a huge striking difference.

Wondering about the automatic watches just to see if they actually are automatic. I'm a jeweler

Fakes: Horology's answer to costume jewellery. It's a real watch, it's just not a real Seiko. The reason that the Feiko isn't brushed on the case is because thecase isn't stainless steel. It's most likely chrome-plated pot metal. All in all though, with the exception of the movement, the Feiko didn't do too badly for $27. LOL

Oh the shame of it you got a far more accurate quartz watch

You forgot to mention that the Fako, being a quartz chrystal instead of an Automatic is probably more accurate than the real thing. A time base of 365,000/second as opposed to 7/second means it should be accurate to about a second every 45 days, as opposed to the Automatics second every 8-15 days. The Quartz movement is not position dependent and you could go months without wearing it and you would put is on and it would be on time withiin 2-3 seconds. I decided not to buy one of those as I supposed it really was an Automatic movement.

I fail to see the point of this. I have a "Fake" nemo prospex and it's easy to spot. The fake has a 90 click bezel and poor lume of course but yhe number on the back is always the same and doesn't trace to any model. But as for comparing to the "real one" is just pointless. My fake is running at less than 5 seconds a day on the wrist way better than my presage. Water proofing is excellent and has withstood water sking. As for the real one. The chapter ring is way off, the strap is exactly the same as the fake as is the bezel insert, the movement and case can be made in the same place as the fake as in nh35 as opposed to 4r35 or 36 so not all real ones are made in Japan and they cost upto 5x the price. I think you need to define real rather than fake. .
