The short answer? Probably not outright fakes. Like, you’re not gonna get a Rolex that’s clearly made of plastic and labeled “Rolex.” More likely, they’re gray market dealers. What that *actually* means is they source watches from outside the authorized dealer network. This is how they can offer those tempting prices.
Now, that’s where things get a bit…murky.
See, some people get watches in perfect condition, delivered super fast. Others? They’re dealing with import taxes outta nowhere (especially if you go with DHL!), potential delays, and maybe even a watch that… well, isn’t quite *right*. Think scratches, or maybe a slightly off-center bezel. I’ve seen some people online complaining about this.
I personally haven’t bought from them, but I’ve defo browsed their site a few times. The prices are seriously tempting! Like that SKX009J someone mentioned. Damn, 206 quid? That’s a steal if it’s legit!
But that’s the thing, right? The “if.”
Here’s my take: they’re probably not intentionally selling straight-up counterfeit watches. They *might* be selling watches that have been sitting in a warehouse for ages, or maybe even returns that weren’t properly inspected. It’s a gamble, basically.
You gotta ask yourself: are you willing to take that risk for the lower price? If you’re super picky about having the full manufacturer’s warranty and want that pristine, fresh-from-the-factory feel, then maybe stick with an authorized dealer. It’ll cost you more, sure, but you get that peace of mind.
But if you’re cool with the possibility of a minor imperfection and are willing to roll the dice for a sweet deal… then Creation Watches *might* be worth a shot. Just be prepared for potential import taxes and maybe a bit of a wait. And for god’s sake, inspect the watch *thoroughly* when it arrives.
