Feels flimsy and I can’t see the logo but maybe I’m wrong!

Why would anyone want to buy a fake for 2$ when the original is 4$ ? To save 2$? 😂 100% saving lol 😂😂

[–] MEME_RAIDER@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Because they don’t know any better. They assume the watch is real, because as plenty of people have asked here, why fake a $4 watch?

If I buy a Rolex online that’s a fraction of the price of the real thing I know I’m getting a fake. If I buy a $4 Casio for $2 I can easily assume I’m just getting a bargain.

there’s alot who can’t afford a casio, mostly in 3rd world countries. It’s not a laughable thing bro

If you can’t afford $4 you probably also can’t afford $2

50% saving, 100% saving would make it free

Good point 😂

Why wouldn’t you? They’re the most popular watches in the world and very cheap and easy to mass produce. A decent fake of a luxury watch requires a decent degree of finish and a mechanical movement to look remotely passable as the real thing, but these are so easy that they often look almost identical.

Casio is far less litigious than luxury watch brands, so it’s easier to openly sell fakes compared to brands like Rolex which come down heavy on counterfeiters.

and how we can tell what's real and what's fake? any differences we can spot with bare eyes? Any suggestions, I don't want to buy a fake one for the price of original?

I love the Klarna payments on the fake Bucherer. That just kills me for some reason.

The fake invicta has business in the title 😂

What are you saying? That you can comfortably afford a whole $21 on a genuine Casio. Looks like we’ve got money bags over here. How’s your yacht?

[–] Key-Pomelo6952@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Couldn’t fit my money bags to my yatch, so I bought a second one 😂 My life lesson to all of you: save your money and not buy $20 casios, you’ll be rich 😂
