First off, I gotta say, the whole “replica watch” thing is kinda shady to begin with. I mean, Chinatown’s practically famous for knock-offs, right? But the real question is whether NY Watch Store is part of *that* scene.
I saw some stuff online that’s all over the place. One person was super bummed ’cause their Luminox (which, let’s be real, are already kinda pricey!) was clearly a dud, didn’t light up like it should. That’s a major red flag, right? You return a bunch of watches to buy *one* special one, and it’s a fake? Ouch.
Then you got the whole “Scamadviser” thing. Like, who even uses that? But hey, people are trying to figure out if websites are legit somehow, I guess. The fact that it’s even *being* discussed makes me wonder if there’s smoke where there’s fire.
But then there’s this other angle: people saying they seem legit. They have a physical address, answer the phone… basic stuff, but it gives you *some* kinda reassurance, ya know? I mean, if they’re brave enough to put up a real address, maybe they’re not completely ripping people off? Or maybe they just got really good at the scam. Who knows.
And then you got the lists of brands they supposedly carry: Casio, Fossil, even Luminox. Like, those are all over the place. So maybe they’re just selling legit stuff and this one guy got a lemon? Or… Dun dun dun… a really good fake?
Honestly, the whole thing is kinda giving me a headache. It’s like trying to assemble IKEA furniture with missing instructions. You *think* you’re getting it right, but something always seems off.
My gut feeling? Proceed with caution. Like, *really* cautious. If a deal seems too good to be true, it probably is. Maybe swing by their actual store (if you can, assuming that address is even real) and take a good, *hard* look at the watches before you buy anything. And if it’s a super expensive watch? Maybe just stick to an authorized dealer. Yeah, it’ll cost ya more, but at least you’ll sleep better at night knowing you didn’t get bamboozled.
