Knock off Movado watches are relatively easy to spot. They have a number of flaws that you can look for. Counterfeit Movado watches are not looked over by any sort of quality control group. Therefore, they have mistakes that you will notice.

Difficulty: Easy

Things You'll Need:

Instructions

Look for spelling and grammar errors. Most counterfeit Movado watches are made in low-budget foreign factories. Therefore, spelling errors are common. Carefully read every word on the watch because the smallest mistake can give the watch away as a fake.

Examine the surface of the dial under the glass for dust, fingerprints and hair. There should be none of these on real Movado watches. If you find any dust, fingerprints or hair, you can be pretty sure that you have found a fake Movado watch.

Check the logo. Movado copies may have the logo glued onto the end of the crown. Inspect the crown for signs of uneven edges or glue.

Inspect the dial and date wheel with a jeweler's loupe. All the printing should be clear and sharp. There should not be any fuzzy edges or blending of letters. A watch with any irregular print would have failed inspection tests at a real Movado factory.
