A friend who has experience with genuine watches told me that Lelong has been infested with replica watches that are not clearly stated , most of the time not stated AT ALL, which led to unwitting buyers of brand name watches into thinking that these sold on Lelong were genuine watches.
If you look closely at these watches, all of them use stock photos in their description. That alone can tell you a lot of things. of course I am not saying that every seller who uses stock photos taken from the website of the brand is selling replicas but it indeed is a huge telltale sign.
Anyway, buying a replica watch is not a crime but I do wonder why anyone would spend a few hundred bucks wearing a fake when he could use this money to buy a genuine branded watch. It may not be of the same class but at least, it isn't a fake that could be easily spotted by people who know their stuff.
