Hello everyone, I just bought a Seiko SKX009K2 from amazon last week and finally arrived last night!! I would like your help to know if it is not genuine or if it actually is an original Seiko.
One thing that I don't support is the counterfeit industry, hence; me seeking for help.
Seller is from Japan, seems like an honest guy, watch arrived in Seiko Box with no book but a little warranty card (In Japanese of course).
I have read blogs about how to spot a fake Seiko and although my watch does seem to be legit there are 2 things that worry me:
1- Serial number is supposed to be the date it was made(I read it somewhere) well if this is true then my watch was made in 2051?
Ref # : 510014
2- The edge of the case, the lugs in other words are too pointy, apparently the real deal has a bit thicker lugs?
Please see attached pics and let me know your thoughts.
Thanks a Million everyone!
PS: Pictures are loaded in full size, they take your entire screen, if this bothers you then press and hold Ctrl key then hit minus key -
This will zoom out of the page and make everything smaller,
equally if you want to go back to original zoom or make a screen bigger (specially when reading small fonts, long articles) save your eyes: press and hold Ctrl key then hit plus sign +
