Omega Pocket Watch Appraisal

How to spot the fake experts Watches

The Internet is full of fake watches, or "replicas" as they call them now.

They almost never the value of money and damage the course of the real brand of watches they are portraying.

Fortunately, these false problems are rarely experts in modern and antique watches.

An expert is Craig Struthers auctioneers Fellows & Sons in Birmingham: http://www.fellows.co.uk.

As a former cataloger shows currently on the wrist next and pocket watches on sale Monday, October 22, he said: "replicas" sold on the Internet are generally easily identifiable.

"When assessing watches you need to examine very closely the case, the movement and dial, and imperfections must be stressed, "he said.

"It is of utmost importance to watch buyers and collectors, as is originality. The movement is also important, as the watches of many years may not have been properly maintained or repaired by the inexperienced.

Craig believes antique watches have a poor value, if only for a particular party even though replacement parts vintage can be very difficult to find.

All 472 items in the sale next shift can be seen in the online catalog of the company: http://www.fellows.co.uk/ShowAuction.asp?sAuctionNumber=909.
