appearance inspection: the trademarks and brands marked on the dial and back cover of genuine watches are clear and complete; The number of drills marked on the dial is consistent with the actual number of drills of the movement; The material marked on the back cover is consistent with the material used in the case; The surface glass is bright and clean; The outer edges and corners of the case assembly have no sharp feeling, and the coating has no bubbles and does not fall off. Check the movement: open the back cover, and if you see that the balance wheel of the watch is gold-plated, it is a genuine watch; If the balance wheel is white, it is a fake. The genuine watch movement can directly see that there are mostly rubies or sapphires in each shaft hole, and there is a circle of Phnom Penh around the gems in the shaft hole above the balance wheel of the shockproof watch, which is the shockproof spring. Most of the bad watches are single-diamond watches with only one gem, and the copper eye of the * * * shaft hole is the same as the color of the splint. It's just round and concave. This will affect the accuracy and service life of the watch. Casio high-end watches, such as mountaineering series, ocean series, and G-shock new watches and solar models, no fakes! ! 1. it can't be made. Mountaineering series and ocean series contain high-tech triple sensors, so counterfeiters can't copy them. It's easy to identify them by simply trying all the functions when they get the watch. Therefore, no one will be stupid enough to make such a fake watch for profit. In addition, the new G-shock is difficult for counterfeiters to copy in a short time. Even if some old models have fakes, it is easy to distinguish them visually. If some friends are not familiar with Casio and want to buy parallel goods, they'd better buy the high-end watch I mentioned. 2. No man-made. Without huge market demand, counterfeiters are unprofitable. Casio watches, even if they are cheaper, I don't think they will have as big a market as mobile phones. Forgers don't go to great lengths to do this. In addition, no matter how expensive the casio watch is, it is only a few thousand dollars. Unlike Rolex, it is desirable to make huge profits. In the market, if there is a fake casio watch, it is also a brand installed by the watch factory, and it is not deliberately forged. Such a watch is easy to distinguish between true and false. 3. It can't be disassembled. Some friends are worried that the watch core will be replaced and other things will happen. In fact, there is no need to worry about it. Casio watches are so precise that ordinary people can't install them when they open them. It won't be like a mobile phone. It can be disassembled. Since it can't be disassembled, there is no need to worry about the renovation of the old watch. Even a few people who have the skills of disassembling watches will not do such thankless things. Have you ever seen the master who unlocked the lock make money by stealing people? For the above reasons, to buy Casio watches, you need to choose whether to buy parallel goods or licensed goods, without worrying about buying fakes. Second, parallel imports are exactly the same as licensed products. 1.Casio watches do not have factories in mainland China, and the watches are distributed in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia, Thailand and other places. Watches of the same model must come from the same factory. Therefore, the watches we buy, as long as they are of the same model, come from one factory. It won't make any difference because of the different places of purchase. 2. There is no localization problem with watches. The menu of Casio watches is only in English and numbers, which is common all over the world. Unlike mobile phones, they need to be localized according to the market. For example, if NOKIA phones are sold in China, they need Chinese-simplified menus, Hong Kong-based menus and Japanese-based menus. The Hong Kong goods of mobile phones are not easy to use, because when they are sold to the mainland, they have to refresh the chip characters. And this work is not done by the manufacturer, so it often happens that the functions of the mobile phone can not be fully realized, and even often crashes. Moreover, the watch is an isolated product, which does not need external support and is not affected by the change of location. At most, the products designed for Japanese radio wave timing can't be timed when they get to China. It will not be unusable due to problems such as frequency system. Therefore, no matter where we buy a watch and where we use it, it is the same Casio! Third, moral issues Many Casio Fans think that it is immoral to buy parallel imports and escape the national tax. In fact, there is a tax reason for the disparity between licensed and parallel watches, but this is not the Casio reason. The fundamental reason lies in the sales strategy of Casio Company in Japan to China. The price of the same product distributed through its authorized channels is different. Casio priced watches sold in China significantly higher than those in other regions. A convincing example is that the price difference between men's watch G-shock and mountaineering series is very wide. Compared with Hong Kong licensed products, the difference between mainland licensed products and Hong Kong licensed products is basically more than double. And Baby-G series, the pricing is different, but not big. Interested friends can compare the online parallel prices with the licensed ones and find that the parallel prices of G-shock and mountaineering series are generally less than 1/2 of the licensed ones; The price of Baby-G is not much different. Reverse thinking, if the price difference is really caused by tax payment, then the range of the difference should be the same. The state will not set tax rates for G-shock and Baby-G, will it? I don't want to define this market strategy and behavior as "discrimination" against China, but at least, our purchase of parallel imports can prompt Casio to adjust its pricing strategy. Let more friends have Casio, and let more friends spend less money. There is no moral problem. Why do all people have a soft spot for buying watches in Hong Kong and turn their noses up at buying parallel goods? There is no difference between them. If there is, it is nothing more than someone buying it for you from Hong Kong and profiting from it. Fourth, there are friends who don't buy parallel imports. In fact, there are not so many concerns, that is, one: licensed warranty. This is true, but the excellent quality is one of the main reasons why Casio is loved. Many people have worn a casio electronic watch for ten years. Don't worry about quality problems within a year. can
