GUYS! I FOUND A guys selling watches for super cheap, almost half the price what do you think? With the claim of it being 100% original and you can get it checked from anywhere.

Should I buy it or it could be a scam or could be obtained from unethical sources? What do you think?For instance TISSOT PRX QUARTZ

For $235

Retail is almost $430

Probably need more information to determine if it's legit. Jomashop offers watches at discounts that sometimes exceed 50%, and they are widely accepted as selling legit watches. I would not say the same about all the sellers on AliExpress; you can get supposed Casio, Orient, and Citizen watches for huge discounts, but I am pretty sure those are not legit. It may be this is a new legitimate grey market dealer, but I would be cautious. "If it seems to good to be true, it probably is." 😜

...Bro...

It's a scam...don't need any referances.

But you can check by your self.

  1. Is it a website build by WordPress

  2. Is the website just resently build? (There are several different website scam check online tools for free)

  3. No website ratings?

  4. Does the website offers any legal informations without grammer mistakes or copy paste with empty lines?

  5. Are tge pictures stolen from other websites?

  6. Does the offer makes any economical sense?

  7. Do they offer payment services which gives you the opportunity to claim it back?

  8. Most important: if the offer sounds to good to be true, than it is.

The internet is full of such scams.

Don't worry.

I understand, but a scamer company ist not to be trusted to deliver without being payed in advance or offering refund.

I know, seeing such low pices are tempting, but don't fall into that trap.

I bought my PRX on a duty free shop for 300, when it was new. There is no way, that someone wakes up early in the morning and running a company to offer watches for a price where he doesn't make any revenue.

This will be not your last contact with scammers.

Always keep cool and make yourself clear:

Better missing an opportunity than wasting money.

If you think you can take the risk to lose the money, you can also wait ans safe for the rest to get a real PRX from an authentic dealer.

I already have the watch that I bought for retail but the thing i am trying to tell you is it’s not a website it’s an physical store 10-20 year old the only explanation is these are unethically sourced watches like from an stolen shipment or something

Ok...I see.

In this case it makes even less sense for that price.

If the watch is authentic it might be stolen (even I don't want to accuse anyone).

I personally wouldn't get my hands on. Buying and wearing stolen goods are bad for the Karma. But that's my personal position.

And now we are on same page i said the same thing to the guyi just wanted to see what the watch community thought coz

Seeing it at that price really got into my head of thinking how it could be even possible
