First off, don’t just glance at it. You gotta *really* look. I mean, *really* look. Grab a magnifying glass if you need to. Check the edges, the polishing, EVERYTHING. A real Tissot is gonna be smooth, like butter, no rough spots or anything janky. And the engravings? They gotta be sharp and clear. If they look kinda fuzzy or uneven, red flag city!
And speaking of red flags, the clasp. Dude, the clasp is a HUGE giveaway. Does it feel cheap? Does it stick? Does it just generally feel like it’s gonna fall apart the second you wear it? Yeah, that’s probably a fake. Real Tissots have solid, well-made clasps. They click into place with a satisfying *snap*. You know what I mean?
Now, logos. Oh man, the logos. Fakers will often try to get the logo right, but it’s usually a little…off. Maybe the font is slightly different, maybe the letters are spaced weirdly. It’s all in the details, people! Look closely. And compare it to pics of real Tissot logos online. Don’t just trust your memory.
Honestly, if you’re even slightly suspicious, just take it to a legit watchmaker. They can pop the back off and see what’s going on inside. Trust me, it’s worth the peace of mind. I mean, who wants to drop a bunch of cash on a fake Tissot that’s gonna break down in a month? Nobody, that’s who!
Ugh, it’s just so frustrating, you know? These counterfeiters are getting sneakier and sneakier. Makes it so hard to trust anyone! I remember this one time, I almost bought a fake Tissot off eBay. Looked totally legit in the pictures. Thank goodness I did my research first!
