Watch Company Offers Authentic Watches and Fights Knockoffs

Online, May 11, 2011 (Newswire.com) - The world of watches is one that has long been infected with an influx of knockoffs and cheap fakes. The black market constantly serves to undermine the reliability of authentic watches, as many customers unknowingly, or even consciously, sport watches that are mere imitations of quality brands. Both men's watches and ladies' watches are subject to competition from these undeserving sources. Dealsaholic.com is a new retail site that is now working to combat this phenomenon by offering a selection of brand name authentic watches at budget prices, so customers don't have to turn to cheap knockoffs for fashionable timepieces. They also teach customers how to spot knockoffs.

The problem with fake watches is that it is so widespread, it is almost impossible for authorities to completely shut down the counterfeiters. Mass roundups have been made, with a record of 14,000 seizures made in 2006. However, the fakes are sold everywhere. New York City's Canal St. area is a hotspot for knockoffs, with thousands of products sold each year. Counterfeits are usually sold at sites where buyers and sellers meet face to face, such as flea markets, salons, college campuses, and the like.

The industry of counterfeit watches has gone so far as to incorporate all the leading brands, ranging from Casio watches to Lucien Piccard watches, and all manner of Swiss and luxury brand name timepieces. It is easy to spot a knockoff when it is sold for a price that is too low. Sometimes fake watches will be sold at high prices solely for the purpose of convincing the buyer of the authenticity of the watch. The knockoff industry is so successful because in recent years the manufacturers have perfected their methods, and produced watches that are almost identical to the real thing, although the quality and actual capabilities can't be matched.

A large percentage of fake watches are produced in China, where labor and production is cheap. Some factories even conduct 'split runs', where they produce real brand name products during the day and copies at night. They use the cd with the same design specifications, and tweak the products by using cheaper materials.

Dealsaholic professes a deep appreciation for quality watches, and they are working to provide customers with a source for authentic brand name watches at affordable prices. They are authorized dealers of every brand sold on the site. Watches are sent complete with the full manufacturer's warranty, and an authentic factory-direct watch. Each watch is also sent directly from the manufacturer, with the serial numbers intact, and a certificate of authenticity. Dealsaholic is a new source for customers looking for authentic brand name watches, as they teach retailers what to look for to ensure that they are receiving the real deal.

Dealsaholic is dedicated to bringing authentic, timeless quality back to the world of watches. Selling a counterfeit watch as the genuine article is a violation of federal law, and besmirches the entire industry of quality timepieces and craftsmanship. Now there's a place where customers can find expensive watches at inexpensive prices, while learning what to look for to ensure that their timepiece really is quality.
