Replica Watch Marketing BS 201

Like our previous article, Marketing BS 101, this article will talk about the replica watch advertising methods and over-the-top marketing buzzwords that shady replica watch sites use to sell their products.  While there are still some reputable replica watch sellers out there, the numbers seem to be dwindling and it’s harder than ever to find a trustworthy store to purchase from.  Here are a couple more of the claims that drive us crazy at ReplicaWatchNews.

Many stores like to claim that their watches are 99.99% replicas of the originals.  What exactly does that mean?  Does it mean they have 99.99% of the precious metals?  Does it keep 99.99% time?  This is another one of those claims that looks good to the potential customer but is really just a number pulled out of their asses in order to sell more watches.  I can see the genius who came up with this thinking, “Hmm, if we said our replica watches were 100% accurate it wouldn’t be believable… let’s say 99.99%!”  It’s a ridiculous claim and isn’t based on anything.  The vast majority of replica watches will have some little tell-tale sign that they’re not authentic, so what percent do you subtract for that?  While replica watches are a great way to buy a luxury watch at a much lower price, they’re not miracle workers.  Anyone that opens up your replica will be able to tell the difference and you can also be sure that your replica watch doesn’t have nearly the amount of gold that an authentic Rolex watch will have.  With that said, the vast majority of the public will most likely be completely unable to tell a quality replica watch apart from the real thing.

If you’ve ever read any complaints about any online replica watch stores you’ll know that getting a watch exchanged or cashing in on your “warranty” is nearly impossible.  Sadly, in this business it’s almost impossible to even get the reputable watch dealers to honor a warranty.  They simply deal with too many companies and have too many costs and middle-men to make do on their promises.  That’s why we find it especially insulting to see GlobalReplica.com’s “Extended Warranty” offerings.  We’ve written about GlobalReplica several times in the past but this is a whole new way they’ve come up with to rip people off.  They now offer Extended Warranties for their watches that range from $29.95 to $299.99!  While we do sympathize with anyone who has been ripped off by these scammers, anyone who would pay an additional $300 for a 4 year warranty are just asking someone to take their money.

If you’re looking for a replica watch with a minimum of hype and empty promises, check out our Store Reviews and see our store rankings.  We’re working on expanding them soon and we apologize for the lack of updates lately.  Thanks for reading.
