The counterfeit watch industry is loving weird. You can get everything from $10 flea market garbage to $1000+ copies that are nearly perfect, with swiss made mechanical movements, sapphire crystals and quality machining work on the case/bands. At that sort of price you can get all sorts of authentic Swiss three-handers from Tissot, Oris, Hamilton, or any other number of companies but there's clearly a market because the drat things keep being made.

I used to be quite into fake watches, and own a bunch of them. Some are crap and some are of higher quality where you need to know exactly what to look for to tell it's a fake.

The most common scam isn't people selling fake watches as real. What's endlessly more common is scam sites claiming to sell the higher-end replicas, taking your money and then sending you nothing at all, a $50 lovely one, or charging $2-300 more for the good replicas than what they usually sell for.

There are like 3-4 big replica watch forums where you can find "trusted" sellers that to a certain degree has been vetted by the community and will sell at a competitive price with some quality control.
