How to identify a Longines replica watch?

　　As there are numerous Longines replica watches on the market nowadays, those who wish to avoid buying a replica need to master certain identification methods. Below, Xiaoya shares some methods for identifying Longines replica watches for your reference.

　　Identifying Longines replica watches: Examining the dial

　　Longines watches feature special, fine lettering marks on the dial. Longines watches have very small numbers and marks printed at the lower end of the dial digits 6, indicating the calibre number and dial number. For instance, the markings and calibre numbers on the Longines Master Collection require a magnifying glass to be seen clearly (being only about the size of a sesame seed 1/5). Most counterfeit watches lack these numerical markings. Some counterfeit watches also print marking letters on the dial, but these generally have flaws, the dial lettering or trademarks are crookedly embedded, or the patterns are not embedded tightly into the dial, with relatively many scratches on the dial surface, and they completely lack such micro-logo patterns. At the same time, some dial lettering is set rather high, causing the front ends of the watch hands to point upwards, resulting in a lack of parallelism between the hands and the dial.

　　Identifying Longines replica watches: Examining the case and case back

　　Genuine original Longines watch cases are refined, attractive, feature a high polish, and fit together seamlessly. Counterfeit Longines watch cases are rough and imprecise.

　　New original Longines watches generally have a protective film attached to the case back. Swiss gold-plated watch cases have letters engraved in the case aperture to indicate the quantity of gold plating on the case. Counterfeit watches, however, lack such markings. The edge of the automatic rotor on fake Longines watches mostly features laser engraving, whereas genuine ones are polished.

　　Identifying Longines replica watches: Examining the crown

　　The crown of Longines watches is stamped with trademark letters. Some fake Longines watch crowns lack letters, while others have letter markings that are mostly thick and blurred. On counterfeit watches with date and day displays, viewed from the date window, the outer edge of the date disc tilts backwards, and some date discs can be seen to be made of plastic.

　　Having learned the above methods for identifying Longines replica watches, which Longines replicas are more suitable for purchase? Here, Xiaoya recommends a top-tier replica Longines watch.
