Spotting Feikos - Fake Seiko Watches

Here are a bunch of pictures I collected on ebay back when I was still roaming that site for good deals.

Telltale signs of a Feiko in disguise:

• 'Electra' on the dial
• Ridiculous numbers and adjectives i.e. 'Unbreakable'
• Diamonds
  
• Font sizes and styles
• Signs etched into the glass

If you have any new pictures or useful info to add, let me know and I'll update this post when I have time.

Electra Models

Font styles, sizes & wording

• The 'Seiko' font is just not right
  

• Sometimes will see words like 'Swiss Made', 'Incabloc' or crazy water resistant depth numbers
• Words look like they're painted on
  

Ugly

A bit trickier to spot because the font looks fine, but the style is just plain ugly. Seiko makes some ugly models, but these just look cheap.

Diamonds

Seen on a lot of 'Electra' models

Etched Glass

A bit trickier to spot. The sign is normally just above the 6 and towards the center.

• Just need experience to notice this one. It just doesn't look right.
