Duped!!

fake-casio

I’ve had a “classic” Casio watch for longer than I can remember – the F-91W. It’s had a couple of new straps and, over the years, the face has become scratched so that it’s sometimes hard to tell 6’s from 8’s. So, I decided to treat myself to a new one.

The F-91W is less than a tenner in Argos but I thought it worth the risk and ordered one for less than a fiver off eBay…

I wasn’t expecting much and I wasn’t disappointed! It was worth the few quid I spent though because I don’t think I’ve ever had a genuine fake before! 🙂

The resin case is less precisely molded in the fake but, otherwise, it looks like a usable watch.. I say ‘looks’ because, apparently, some of these fakes lose up to several minutes a day.
