In 1770, Abraham-Louis Perrelet created the “permanent” watch, a forerunner of the modern self-winding watch. Here’s how to check the authenticity of a Porsche watch:
First, be familiar with the movement model and movement markings used in real watches, so that if you encounter a fake watch with a transparent caseback, you can tell at a glance if it is genuine. Second, to carefully observe the movement lettering, the real movement lettering engraving is clear and beautiful, the fake watch is rough, no aesthetic. Finally, to understand the performance of the movement in depth, such as the winding method (manual or automatic, one-way or two-way), the sound of the movement going time, etc.. Take a closer look at the appearance of the watch, including the polish on the exterior. The polishing of the watch is delicate. The polishing of a watch is very elaborate, while the craftsmanship of a fake watch is far from it. The font of the real watch is full, while that of the fake watch appears to lack confidence. Look at the function, most fake watches will not work on the function, which is the breakthrough to see through the fake watch. Many fake watches have functions that are posed (such as moon phase, perpetual calendar, tourbillon, etc.), and actually do not have this function. Look at the hands. Genuine hands can be distinguished from fakes in terms of length, thickness, shape, and material. For example, the “blue steel hands” often used in high-end watches are a full-bodied, dark blue color, made through a complex process of firing, while the blue of fake watches is painted on. Look at the dial, the common dial technology of senior watches are enamel surface, guilloche process, metal radiating dial, shell dial, etc. Some watches also have their own unique technology, such as Rolex’s computer dial, Cardia’s solid gold silver-plated engraved dial, etc. Diamonds and setting techniques: look at the setting techniques, the quality and size of the diamonds. The workmanship of the watch box also reflects the value of the watch. The watch box of a fine watch is very sophisticated, and the certificate is printed with the model number and the unique serial number of the watch, which we call the “birth certificate”. Some certificates have a pinhole punching technique to punch the number of the watch on the certificate to prevent counterfeiting.Here’s a reminder: Stay tuned to the LuFuture App for the latest news.
