ganhesepuder 0 Posted May 2, 2014 Hi. I've bought the Bulova Marine Star 98C114 fulfilled by amzn. It was shipped to a forwarding service and they took some pictures for me. For my surprise, the watch doesn't have some details on the dial (when compared to the pictures I first saw at amzn and at Bulova's official site). Does anyone know if it is a counterfeit? As you can see, the watch doesn't have the Bulova symbol imprinted on the dial, neither the "marine star" signature down right. I'm wondering if I should return and get my money back, but at jomashop.com the picture of the watch is the same of mine (missing the details). The watch I bought is the one in the box (first three pictures). Last picture refers to the details I found at amazon.com and bulova.com pictures. Thank you.

willj1991 0 Posted May 2, 2014 I highly doubt someone has bothered to rep a Bulova bud, it'll be real. That's my 2 cents on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Viquito 0 Posted May 2, 2014 It might be because it's a gray market sale? I'm not sure tho I bought a different version of mine from amazon & it looks legit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RichardMiami 4 Posted May 2, 2014 I am 99% certain that the watch is gen, and simply a different run from the Bulova factory. Grey market watches may vary in the box it is in, but this is a simple graphics change. Panerai makes new model numbers out of less than this! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TheTinMan 13 Posted May 2, 2014 I couldn't live with the placement of the name and would return it myself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeavyKrush 16 Posted May 2, 2014 Maybe just a model year also. Found the same watch here: http://brightwatches.com/product/bulova-mens-marine-star-daydate-chronograph-watch-98c114/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samadkins29 0 Posted May 2, 2014 Jomashop is a legit distributor. They have a eBay recommended store as well. Not saying that fakes arnt ever sold on eBay, but I know eBay would not recommend a replica on purpose.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

golddusterrolex360 0 Posted May 16, 2014 I have seen replica G-Shocks, so it would not surprise me if a few Bulova models get cloned. The upside is the clone may be better quality. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
zufir 0 Posted May 17, 2014 I have seen replica G-Shocks, so it would not surprise me if a few Bulova models get cloned. The upside is the clone may be better quality. Can confirm. Was once looking for replica G-Shocks....Those were some dark times Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
