Myths about Imitation WatchesBuying an imitation watch from an online retailer is no doubt more risky than buying it from a conventional store. Following are some myths about imitation watches; One of the most common myths about imitation watches is that they are manufactured in Switzerland, Italy, and Thailand. Majority of imitation watches are made in China and are of much inferior quality to their original counterparts. The ratings of imitation watches are a hoax devised by the seller to entice customers. Thus, experts recommend being cautious of retailers selling imitation watches from quality ratings A+++ to C. Although most retailers selling imitation watches claim that their products will not be recognized as copies even by the authorized dealers, this is most definitely not the case. The price difference alone speaks volumes about the disparity in quality between the two watches. Never believe a word of what you read on websites and web portals providing detailed reviews of online retailers selling imitation watches. This is because these websites and web portals are owned by the online retailers of imitation watches and are a marketing gimmick to attract customers. Experts recommend being very careful when purchasing an imitation watch from a website giving you the option of paying Cash on Delivery (CoD). Though this may seem like the safest and most preferable option that is most definitely not the case because these online retailers don't want a record (with the credit card company) of the transaction.
