Counterfeit watch?

electrobabe

I have come into possesion of a watch by Raymond weil but don't know if it is counterfeit or genuine.

it looks very smililar to this in stainess steel


Heres is the link for more info http://images.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://ec1.images-amazon.com/images/I/318RHXHM8TL._AA270_.jpg&imgrefurl=http://www.amazon.com/Raymond-Weil-Tango-5390ST00658-Ladies/dp/B0002FQGZ6&h=270&w=270&sz=13&hl=en&start=6&um=1&tbnid=wZwnrRdrz1k9AM:&tbnh=113&tbnw=113&prev=/images%3Fq%3Dtango%2Braymond%2Bweil%2Bladies%26svnum%3D10%26um%3D1%26hl%3Den%26lr%3Dlang_en%26sa%3DG

it weighs 60 grams but is a small fit so some links have gone. On the face it says Raymond Weil, geneva like the pic and swiss made either side of the 6. On the reverse its says .Raymond Weil. Stainless steel. water resistant 5 ATM and stamped 5360. on the clasp its says ACIER INOX 180

So do you think its the real deal? cheers, electro

Sorry if this is the wrong board for this but I thought you guys might know being ebayer/jumble sale gooers and this will go on ebay if genuine.

Not familiar with that brand and it's difficult to say without actual images but could you take it to a Raymond Weil retailer (eg Beaverbrooks) for them to examine? I'm sure they'd spot a fake fairly easily.
Depending on how you came into possesion might also influence a verdict on whether it's genuine or not. More info. here http://www.precisiontime.co.uk/raymond-weil-5390st00658-tango-quartz-ladies-watch-p-55.html

Put some decent pics of the actual watch both front and back and someone here will give their opinion...

Exactly...what's the point of putting up an illustration of a " similar" watch.......Simply take it to a legit Weil retailer, they'll tell you in 10 seconds if it's real or not.....

Cheers...will put up some pics tomorrow.

Why don’t you ask the person that you [strike]stole/inherited [/strike] acquired it from whether it is genuine or not?

urm...this is not a stolen watch avoriaz.iI bought it fair and square in a lot at auction, i buy lost luggage and they take valubles out but this watch was in a pocket. So there is no one to ask and no idea who the owner is.

I think Avoriaz was only joking hun, don't worry

Can i ask where you found out about lost luggage auctions? that sounds fun! I want to go to one!

Oh god, i can just imagine my lost luggage being auctioned off... i'd be gutted!!
