No way to tell from that listing. It's not exactly a sought after model so I couldn't even tell you if it has been repped.

Well, those are gen photos, but that doesn't necessarily mean that's what you'll get. Lots of reps around.

The amount is not significant therefore not worth bothering about. However never buy an expensive watch from eBay it not worth the risk! There loads of shops that selling descent watches best buy from them.

The steel Tag monaco look alike from that listing. The rubber strap wasn't doing it for me so I got Phizzy to make me a custom strap

Well you could always try and compare with authentic website pictures? Also if he has a good rating go ahead and buy it then take to an AD get it checked out. If it isn't gen then you still will be covered under eBay's buyer protection and get a refund without having to send the watch back. Ebay requires you to destroy the watch, however they don't require you to provide evidence of doing so. Anything counterfeit being sold on ebay will result in banishment of your account, and a lot of sellers won't want that. Everything in life is a gamble, at least you're covered :D

It may not be that easy with getting an AD to authenticate a lower priced gen. I read a post (on WUS I think) of someone buying a Tissot (now I think about it it was probably one of the ones on Ali) from an ebay seller, and being unsure weather it was gen or not. He took it into the AD who verified it was gen, but had already posted the photos on the forum... I cant remember how it all was proven but basically some of the Tissot expert members on there proved it was definitely a rep even though the AD had authenticated it! Add to that I'm pretty sure the Armani ones are backdoor gens its pretty murky water trying to prove to ebay

well i could've saved a few bucks by waiting but sometimes you pay to learn, so no regrets...the pictures of the watches you posted don't have the armani logo but based on your comments i'm assuming that they were delivered with logos. I ask because the Burberry watch i posted at the top of this thread is also on the Ali site but sans the Burberry logo ...i'm considering getting a white armani ceramica, the burberry above and this Tag:

hand/32228375304.html,

all from Ali express now, appreciate if you could confirm your watches came with the logos so i can order the burberry with confidence.
