    Not good, I think a buyer of the item that knows about watches need to inform Amazon

    No doubt they'll get away with it. Wonder whether they'll replace them with genuine?

    More likely they'll replace them with a refund and a £5 voucher. If they're lucky.

    So many comments to go through, I'd understand if it was a marketplace seller, but apparently they've ordered from Amazon themselves.

    It's not suprising - Amazon don't have any idea what the heck they're selling now most of the time, or from who. I don't order from them any more.

    Re: Amazon main site(not resellers) selling fake watches?!

    Aww missed the deal, it would have been an addition to my fake collection of rolex watches. Just joking.

    Hmm the deal was on 7th August and shipped from Germany? I am usually weary of buying products that are not stock within UK amazon warehouse.

    That's just daft.
    If you do get a fake, or a genuine watch your just not happy with. At least people know that they will get thier money back without too much issue. Can you say that about every company?

    I've had to return a laptop to amazon (who paid for shipping aswell) and bought 3 watches from them and am happy with them all.

    I'm sure Amazon will guess what happened by the amount that will be going back to them. As long as everybody gets their money back that's what matters.
    These things happen.

    Re: Amazon main site(not resellers) selling fake watches?!

    The link posted in the original post here goes to an Amazon reseller - not amazon themselves.

    If a deal looks too good to be true - it probably is.

    Although the pricing looks OK

    http://www.thewatchhut.co.uk/search/search.asp -

    But I'm not sure I'd buy a watch other than from a known reputable dealer - simply because there are too many fakes around.

    Most of the companys going through Amazon are reputable dealers though, including the company you linked, watcshop.com etc.
    I think i'd probably avoid any companys that wern't UK based or had little feedback but i think with Amazon more likely than anything to be safe.
    And the replys posted in the link in the OP above show that Amazon are offering replacments or re-funds. So if things did go wrong the customer service is there.

    Re: Amazon main site(not resellers) selling fake watches?!

    It is true that most of the companies nowadays are going through Amazon to sell their product. Replica watches are in great demand and people begin their search on internet to buy such watches on special discount. Though there are specific shops like Replicaking.hk and many more out there, but still people prefer shopping on such known names like Amazon. I think this is because they have created a good customer satisfaction reputation all over the world.
