First of all, distinguish the authenticity from the Longines watch dial
Longines watches have special fine letter marks on the dial. Longines watches have small numbers and marks printed on the lower end of the number 6 on the dial. Indicates the movement number and disc number. For example, the Longines Master series mark and movement number can only be seen with a magnifying glass (only 1/5 the size of a sesame seed). Most counterfeit watches do not have these numerical markings. Some counterfeit watches also imitate some mark letters on the dial, but they are generally defective or the dial letters are not set correctly, or the trademark letters and patterns are not set tightly on the dial, and there are more scratches on the dial. There is no such ultra-micro logo pattern. At the same time, the characters on some dials are set relatively high, causing the front ends of the watch hands to tilt upward, causing the needles and the dial to be non-parallel.
Secondly, distinguish the authenticity from the watch case
The original and genuine Longines watch case is exquisite and beautiful, with high smoothness and consistent assembly. The counterfeit Longines watch case is rough and not precise.
Distinguish authenticity from the Longines case, back cover and logo
They are all thick and blurry, and there is no mark of case number or movement number.
New original Longines watches usually have a layer of adhesive film on the back cover. Gold-plated case watches made in Switzerland have letters engraved on the open position of the case to indicate the amount of gold plating on the case. But counterfeit watches have no such markings. The edges of fake Longines automatic rotors are mostly laser-patterned, while the genuine ones are polished.
Distinguish the authenticity from the watch crown
The Longines watch crown has trademark letters printed on it. Some fake Longines watches have no letters on the crown, and some have letter marks, but most of them are thick and blurry. When looking at counterfeit watches with calendars and weekly calendars from the calendar window, the outside of the calendar dial is tilted backwards. Some calendar dials can be seen to be made of plastic.
A genuine Longines watch will have an ID card. In addition to indicating the model, there is also a unique code corresponding to the movement directly printed on the movement. Each genuine watch has a different code. It is most direct and accurate to directly check the movement code. You can also send an email to the Longines official website to check.
