How to distinguish the authenticity of longines

At present, the common counterfeit Longines watches in the watch market are mainly different in structure, quality, function and installation. All parts and components are imitations, including Longines' trademarks and brands and packaging forms. This kind of watches generally have structural defects, poor functions and high failure rate.

Distinguish between true and false from Longines watch dial

Longines watches have particularly fine letter marks on the dial. Longines watches are printed with small numbers and marks at the lower end of the dial number 6. Indicates the movement number and disc number. For example, Longines series logo and movement number must be seen clearly with a magnifying glass (only sesame-sized 1/5). Most counterfeit watches don't have these figures. Some counterfeit watches will also copy some logo letters on the dial, but the dial words or trademark letters and patterns on the dial are defective or improperly set, and there are many scratches on the dial, so there is no such ultra-micro logo pattern. At the same time, some dial characters are set higher, which makes the front end of the watch pointer tilt upward, resulting in the pointer not being parallel to the disk surface.

Swiss-made gold-plated watches have letters engraved on the case opening gear, indicating the number of gold-plated cases. But counterfeit watches don't have this logo. The edges of fake longines watches are mostly laser lines, but the real ones are polished.

Distinguish the authenticity from the watch handle.

Longines watches have trademark letters printed on their handles. Some handles of fake Longines watches have no letters, and some are marked with letters, but most of them are thick and fuzzy. A fake watch with a calendar and a weekly calendar looks from the calendar window, and the outer side of the calendar table is tilted backwards. It can be seen that some calendar disks are made of plastic.
