I got this from the internet (pay close attention to step #2)>

The first and most important step in identifying a counterfeit designer watch is to do your research before you buy, and to avoid impulse buying. This is especially true if you are interested in buying a second-hand watch, which isn't necessarily a bad thing, since luxury watches can last for years and years. By simply reviewing the design of the watch in images and specifications before you buy, you will be much better suited to spotting a fake. Oftentimes so-called 'replica' watches will be noticably different from the genuine article, and if you are familiar with the real thing, this will be easier for you to spot. Simply spend some time online reviewing what the real watch looks like before you buy. Also remember that the price paid for luxury watches allows the company to use parts of the best quality, and show a great deal of worksmanship in each time piece. If the quality of the watch doesn't seem superb, it is probably a fake.

The second step in avoiding a counterfeit watch is to stay away from deals that are "too good to be true." Although it will be very difficult to say no to what seems like a great bargain, there are no such bargains in the luxury watch market. If the watch is selling for under $250, chances are that it is a fake, and you are being swindled, no matter how good the seller's story is. Review prices online, and check the facts before you buy. Pay a fair market price for your watch, and you will be much less likely to be taken advantage of. Oftentimes a manufacturer will print a very high MSRP(manufacturer's suggested retail price) on the item, and then the merchant selling it will give you a "deal" and sell it to you for 10x less than what the MSRP states. This is a red flag and you should not make the purchase.

The third step in identifying a fake luxury watch is to check out the manufacturer. While some counterfeit watches attempt to pass themselves off as a big brand name, like Rolex or Omega, other watch manufacturers play it safer and simply come up with their own brand name. The brand is likely to sound European and seem genuine. However, beware of these no-name watches, as they are the same poor quality as any other rip-off watch. Some examples are "Klaus Kobec" and "Krug Baumen."
