Is there a way to authenticate serial numbers

[Minimalist]

Hi Guys,

So I'm interested in this tudor vis private sale and I'm just wondering if there is a way I can cross check the serial number for that watch to authenticate it's genuine, since I have the serial number.

It's quite annoying how replicas are so damn good these days it's hard to tell them apart.

Any info at all would be appreciated.

Nope, google the SN though as most fakes just use the same one over and over, or you could just post some pics of the watch in question

No, as mentioned, a serial number is just that, a number that can be found anywhere, and by itself is not unusual. Generally a serial number tells you nothing.

However, those who make fakes tend to clone the same parts over and over and so you may be able to Google that number, as one of our members suggested, and you might be able to see if it is one of the known numbers used on replicas.
