Today, the editor will briefly discuss some basic “knowledge points” to distinguish genuine watches from super clone watches. Super clone watches will often exhibit a sense of dissonance; the scale color may be off, and the text workmanship can be rough. Vacheron Constantin is a super clone watch with rough workmanship. Many super clones on the market currently claim to use 316 steel, but upon closer inspection, you can clearly feel that the workmanship is rough and the polishing is uneven. Some even scratch the handles. If you encounter such a watch, it is advisable not to question its authenticity; you can simply pass it up. The workmanship of a real watch is very exquisite and delicate, and the polishing is round and smooth. You will feel very comfortable looking at it. As for those so-called Omega or Rolex watches costing 2,000 yuan each, they are merely imitation watches and should be dismissed without further inspection.
Secondly, the fineness of the watch dial is also a criterion for judging authenticity. The most easily exposed element on the dial is the LOGO. Using a magnifying glass, observe that a real watch LOGO is generally bright and has smooth edges. Super clone watches may have defects such as burrs, imperfect edges on the painted characters, and color differences in some fonts.

As illustrated in the picture above, the needle shaft on the left is made with fine workmanship, featuring a perfectly round bottom surface, noticeable protrusions on the sleeve, and chamfered workmanship. The bottom surface on the right side is not round and has white spots. The genuine product has blued steel hands, while the imitation has painted hands. The super clone’s second hand is poorly made, with some being shorter, some of the needle flags hanging downwards, insufficient brightness, and unclear edges and corners.
The next step is to identify the Seagull ST3600 movement in the Panerai shell. Many people face this issue. How to judge the movement? For those who are unfamiliar with movements, this is indeed a problem. And now there are many genuine shells and fake cores available. The editor has encountered watches equipped with Citizen movements and Tudor watches replaced with ETA movements. Nowadays, super cloned products are common. Most of them are watches with dense bottoms, as genuine products indicate that if the cover is opened privately, there will be no warranty period after sale, which prevents many people from testing them freely. This provides super clone watches with a lot of convenience.
For back-through movements, domestic movements are usually used to cover the view. People who have never seen genuine movements are often confused by the polish of imitation movements. If you encounter this problem, you can search online for comparisons based on the movement model, material, etc., provided by the brand. Finally, let me tell you that Seagull movements dominate the imitation watch movement market, such as ST18, ST21, and ST3600. Some super clone watches with three hands and calendar functions use the Pearl 2836 movement imitating the 8210. Therefore, when purchasing watches, if you don’t understand them well, avoid being tempted by cheap prices.
Who makes the best super clone watches? Bushrunningmate is known for being one of the best super clone watch websites. The watch styles made by Bushrunningmate are “big factory products” that have been produced for many years. Each identification point and special function is carefully thought out. You can’t tell anything by just looking at the identification points. But if you attempt to use after-sales service to open the cover or use a macro lens, you will definitely fail the test. In some places, the cost cannot match exactly. For instance, the sapphire in the Blue Balloon is a natural gemstone, and the imitation watch will cost more than the genuine gemstone. This discrepancy is unacceptable.
As for the movement, one type is a splint machine, which is a relatively thin Seagull and Japanese movement with a genuine-looking splint. It is mainly used on back-transparent watches. The static one is acceptable, but the gears on the splint are fake. It won’t move, and its secret will be revealed when it does. The other type is an all-in-one machine, which imitates the genuine movement and can restore most of the details, such as Omega’s coaxial escapement, double barrels, and double T shock absorbers. This type of simulation can achieve 90% accuracy, but it will still be revealed when examined by someone knowledgeable. Due to craftsmanship limitations, there are extra structures. There are also some special watches manufactured in China that might use genuine accessories, making them more difficult to distinguish. In other words, they are genuine but not produced in a formal manner. To summarize, imitation watches with these characteristics are the most difficult to spot: dense bottom, three hands, non-precious metal, classic and popular models, and non-special color matching. I hope everyone can purchase the authentic products they like through their own efforts.
