manishkob 0 Posted October 8, 2021 (edited) Im relatively new to watches, only previously owning a Fossil, but I've been constantly wanting to expand showbox my collection. I recently purchased and just received my new Luminox LM8822.MI Recon Point Black Watch I bought on Amazon. I would like to know if it is authentic though as I bought it for almost half the price as the $450 list price. speed test Edited October 10, 2021 by manishkob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tonyh7 236 Posted October 8, 2021 I once worked in a trading room where a broker called Mr Glasscock asked if the dealer knew what sterling would sell for tomorrow (rather than a forward price). The dealer switched the call to the tannoy and countered with the immortal line 'I'm sorry Mr Glasscock, I don't have crystal balls.' I'd guess it probably is a grey market gen, though that is a low price. There are plenty of offers below rrp. It isn't unknown for reps to be mis sold on Amazon. There are knock offs about, but from what I've seen they don't have the same quality tritium lume. But it is Amazon - so if you have any doubts return it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
