First off, i'm not 'into' watches by any stretch, but i fancied one to wear to work, so i went on Ebay at the weekend & placed a bid on a Hugo Boss watch, anyway, it turns out i won it.
Ebay is quoting that it should be here today, however, when i looked into it in a bit more detail, it started to strike me i may of paid half decent money for a fake watch.
I emailed the seller asking if it was genuine, comes with paperwork etc.
He said in an Ebay message that all of his watches are genuine & come with a '2 year manufacturers warranty'.
However i don't really trust anyone when it comes to Ebay & i'm skeptical.
I guess if worst comes to it i open a dispute, but is there a sure fire way to tell whether it's a fake or not?

I'm happy to upload photo's of it when it arrives if PH can help?

How much did you pay vs RRP/Sale Price? What's the sellers feedback like? I don't think there would be much of a market for fake Hugo Boss watches though.
I just bid £101 on the watch & won it, looking into it today, as i was too busy at the weekend, he seems to sell a hell of a lot of these (the same item). RRP suggests around £300, it was this that initially made me think it's fake + then checking his feedback seeing these watches are all he sells.

Here's the original link:

It's arrived, so just going to try & get some pics up.

I know 0 about watches, but if it is a fake, it's a cracking fake at that!
