How to check if a Tissot Le Locle watch is genuine? WIDTH
If you plan to purchase a Tissot Le Locle watch, it is necessary to learn how to tell the genuine from the replica. Below I will tell you the methods for identifying a genuine Tissot Le Locle, hoping it will be useful to you. WIDTH
Identifying genuine Tissot Le Locle watches WIDTH
1. Genuine Tissot watches all have an individual serial number (note that this is a serial number, not a model number, and both 2 items will be written on the watch), and only a very few special editions do not have one (though these special editions are even easier to tell apart, as mentioned below). This number is unique and never repeats, but replica watches are different; you could say that every watch you buy has the same number, or no number at all. Therefore, please pay attention to this issue when buying a watch. If the dealer's watches all share the same serial number, there is undoubtedly a major problem. WIDTH
2. When buying a watch, learn about its specifications online, focusing mainly on the movement. Most Tissot watches use ETA movements, yet ETA movements have generic movements sold on the market, such as 2824-2 2836-2 2834-2, and the replicas of these 3 movements are also imitated extremely skilfully, making them difficult to distinguish visually. Consequently, watches using these movements are heavily counterfeited; try to avoid them. However, some watches with special functions are conversely not replicated by anyone because without the movement, they cannot be copied, or even if they are copied, only the appearance is the same while the functions are different. I will now use 2 watches with special functions as examples. One is the Tissot T014.421.11.057.00; the most special feature of this watch is the end-of-life (EOL) power reserve indicator function. This movement is a custom movement, and no one on the market has successfully replicated it yet. What is the low power indicator function? It means that when the watch is insufficiently wound, its second hand will not tick every second as usual, but will instead tick once every 4 seconds, jumping 4 seconds at a time. Therefore, replicas of this watch are very rare. If there are replicas on the market, they only match in appearance but lack the function I mentioned. Once you receive the watch, give it a shake and it will start running; if it stops after only shaking it a few times, check how the watch runs: if the second hand ticks every 4 seconds and then after shaking it many times the second hand begins to run normally one second at a time, then it is genuine; if not, it is definitely a replica. Another watch is the T063.637.16.037.00, which features a perpetual calendar function. This function is brilliant and no one on the market can replicate it; it clearly knows the lengths of the months and can distinguish between leap years and common years, automatically adjusting the date. Once you set the watch, you don't need to worry about it, unlike most watches without a perpetual calendar function, which require you to correct the date for the 31th of the month every 2 months.

3. Under equivalent conditions, choose a seller who dares to promise a refund of three times the amount for counterfeits As mentioned above, accepting returns within 7 days incurs no loss for the dealer while the profit is high, so they are not afraid. Offering three times the compensation for a fake is different; as long as the dealer promises you a refund of three times the amount in the Taobao Wangwang chat history, this can be used as evidence for Taobao arbitration in the future. If there is a problem, not only must you return the watch, but you will also earn the money for 2 watches. This is why financial leverage is used to compel the seller to sell you a genuine watch.

4. Counter verification This is the most reliable method. Some people tell me that counters refuse to verify, arguing that they are agents with no obligation to do so, or that counter sales staff have limited skills and simply cannot tell. Let me tell you the simplest method: remember to go to a major department store and find the repair department of the Tissot counter, and only look for the technician who repairs watches. Rest assured, this is their profession, and it is harder than ascending to heaven for a replica to fool their eyes. But will they verify it for you? I say they definitely will, and there is only one method: pay them. In an economic society, they have no obligation to verify it for you, let alone offend people for no reason. How much is appropriate to give? 50 is generally sufficient. Note that you must know how to speak; approach them and make it clear that you want a private verification, that you only want the true result, that you do not require them to take responsibility, that you only want to hear the truth, and that you are willing to offer 50 as cigarette money. Remember, before they give you an answer on whether they will verify it or not, you must tell them that you will pay, because whether money is given or not is very likely to directly affect the verification result, ensuring at least that they will not speak carelessly based on their mood.
