FAKE OR AUTHENTIC?
This is most complete guide in how to spot
fake/replica Emporio Armani watches.
After you read this you will become an
expert. Watches from the world famous
brand Emporio Armani is very popular in
the market for many reasons - stylish
design, very wide range of models, high
quality of the product and at the same
time the relatively low price for a high quality product. Therefore, it is very easy to fall
across the fake when buying this brand watches, especially on the Internet. Primarily,
this is a doubtful desert of the Chinese manufacturers who have learned to make copy
of them so well that often even experienced expert cannot distinguish fake from the
original. Even the most experienced watchmaker or jeweller cannot always detect the
fake, as it is virtually impossible to be familiar with all brands and models of the
watches in equal measure. Of course, experts are paying primary attention to the
details of the watch itself, or open it in order to verify the model of the mechanism, but
it is mistakenly thought that if the mechanism itself is original, it is a guarantee of
authenticity. Unfortunately, we have to say that it is possible to nd a copy of such a
level in the market that just all parts are identical to the original, including Japanese
quartz mechanisms, which are often used in most models of watches of this brand. So,
what you have to know? Let's begin
SERIAL NUMBER
First of all, original watches have the
serial number on the back lid. It consists of

2 YEAR WARRANTY
Term of the ofcial warranty for all
Emporio Armani watches is 2 years, no
more and no less. It is exactly 2 years.
Many sellers offer their own warranty, or
do not offer it at all - it should immediately
get your attention because the warranty
may be only ofcial and international,
what means that you can repair your
watch at every single EA service centre worldwide. Some online stores or sellers on
eBay assure potential buyers that they provide their own warranty for a specic period,
lets say 90 or 12 months, and explaining that this is the reason that their prices are
supposedly much lower. This is fraud and tricks for trustful buyers. Also sellers can
assure you that they are selling goods with ofcial warranty, but it requires at least
following few conditions.
The watch should be supplied with a warranty book, which should be properly lled
up and following information should be added:
1) The date of sale, starting from which the warranty is valid
2) Watch model (for example AR1400)
3) Serial number of the watch (six digit serial number at the back lid)
4) Seller's name or logo
Please note: watch should be supplied with one warranty/instruction book. Some fakes

selling watches with two books. One of them is thick, and one of them is thin.
Along with the warranty book the seller should provide you with a certicate of
authenticity. For more details see the next section.
CERTIFICATE
Certicate of authenticity:
This is the most neglected thing. And as
the practice shows - in vain. Certicate of
authenticity can immediately identify
fake. The thing is that such certicate has
several levels of protection and it is almost
impossible to be falsied, as it is produced
in Italy, on special order of Emporio
Armani. Most people who consider themselves as experts, in fact, only supercially
know how it actually looks like, or do not know it at all, considering that it's just an
ordinary piece of paper. The manufacturers of counterfeit also do not particularly pay
attention to that and do not really try to make a copy close to the original. So, how
should the original look like (see pictures)
PLEASE NOTE: EVERY CERTFICATE HAVE INDIVIDUAL SERIAL NUMBER WHICH
CAN NOT BE IDENTICAL TO OTHER CERTIFICATE

The front side has interchangeable rows with the same text, one line with normal font
and other with special pattern as if with the encrypted inscription. At the same time
the lines with normal font are interchanging, the text is printed in its usual form once,
the next by inverted text (see photos above 1 and 2)
The reverse side of the certicate has a higher level of protection and contains the same
Giorgio Armani writings, but the letters are bold, and have a special texture. (see photo
3 and 4)
Upon further study, on the front side of the certicate you should nd embossed
writings with the name of Giorgio Armani brand
Below you will nd some pictures of fake certicates. All of them were supplied with
fake watches purchased from different eBay sellers
