Real vs. Fake

I thought I would add my two cents regarding this topic. I have to take my hat off to the fine people of this forum. When I first looked at the post regarding that LV I thought for sure it was genuine. But after reading all the replies I have seen the error of my ways. You guys provide an invaluable service for those of us just getting into the game. My knowledge of these fine watches has grown immensely. So please accept my sincere thanks for sharing your wisdom.

I learn something new every day. I've yet to meet the "expert" that knows everything about these watches. Sometimes a group effort provides knowledge and inspiration for us all.

You're welcome, pal. Just a note to everybody on this forum....the fakes out there are really getting better and better. Even experts are getting bluffed into thinking them to be the real thing at first glance.

You should either know the Seller very well or go straight to an AD!!
