But the Chinese are getting smarter, especially with tools. I suspect that they are coming to understand the consumer knows a product sold at one tenth the price is a Chinese knockoff. So now they have several listings for the same product. One listing is $10, another listing is $15, and another is $22. The $22 is closer to the price of the real product. So they catch a wide range of people. It all should be illegal and shut down. They FBI did it with copying DVD's. Why not consumer products.
It Amazes me they can duplicate the name but it would be great for a Kid seems. I think you have to have an idea of what you are buying when the price is 20$, had they sold these for 200 or more that would be a completely different issue. Citizen probably doesn't go after them for that reason. Crazy world.
One on ePrey now. Picture of back shows large blue fold over to create space for spring bars, with yellow stitching, no blue accents on pushers, straight spring bars, and wrong case back for this model Blue Angels. Other pictures show correct strap, curves spring bars, and blue accents on pushers. Price WAY to low for pictured condition. Hong Kong China vendor with no feedback - Udaris 15
I can't thank you enough for the video. I was looking at this model Citizen watch I saw posted on CL. Your video confirmed the one I saw is a Chinese knockoff. It really irritates me more and more that our Consumer Products division of our federal government doesn't do more to stop this invasion of Chinese knockoffs. They made it a crime to copy movies for resale but most everything else is free game. Takin' care of Hollywood. Cheers
I keep seeing ads on Facebook for about $45. Legit looking photos, probably nothing like what they ship. I'd be surprised if the chrono dials and pushers are functional.
Do the genuine blue angels watches have the Blue Angels emblem on the back? Or is this just something the scammers added to their advertising to trick people into thinking the watches are genuine?
I need to buy bessel insert, (the external blue ring) for my watch, somebody knows where can I buy it? Or part number? I don't find this on ebay or even local autorized distributor.. thanks!
I'm looking at one which I assume to be fake due to price, however the pictures as far as i can tell are pictures of the real one so people must be getting products not as shown? Reviews don't seem to reflect this. Interestingly the same page also has an advert for the real one at real price. The model number is quoted for the real one but not the 'fake's description title. Volumes available quoted on the page exceed the real production volume.
These fakes come from china looks like 👍real cost is around 400USD to 500USD. The fake costs around 20USD but some sellers would even try to pass fake as the genuine article....
Lots of these for sale, they show you the real thing then send you something else " the fake" still me being me i thought I'll get one just to see, sure enough it turned up in a square box and as soon as you open the box and take it out the first thing you notice is the cheap feel of the watch strap ,tinny and loose. Then you notice all the other things that are mentioned in other posts. Total rubbish apart from one thing , After giving the watch to my nine year old son as a play watch it actually keeps good time ....so not a big loss after all, so will have to see how long it lasts. I shouldn't be promoting this at all ,so please stay away from this fake .
the three smaller dials are not a correct shape. They are cubie rather than slithly curved, oval on the real one. And the little nuts on there should be white.
How does E Bay get away with selling fakes ? aren't there laws prohibiting this ?
LOL, you think the first red flag would be a $20 watch? no brainer

If the $20 fake looks as good as its image and it actually works, I'm impressed...
Thank you for the information. I got the fake one. Too obvious. It says, "BLUE ANGLES" in front instead.
Those people truly have no shame. We live and learn though!
Just reported one 👍
I work on these, the real deal Citizen with the H800 movement, and it absolutely amazes me that any company can EVEN make a fake for 20 USD

If the citizen watch has it printed "made in china" at the back, it is original or fake? I thought citizen watch is in-house.

How to spot a fake Citizen Blue Angels Chronograph watch on Wish, it's being sold on wish so every Citizen is fake on that site lol
I need to buy bessel insert, (the external blue ring) for my watch, somebody knows where can I buy it? Or part number? I don't find this on ebay or even local autorized distributor.. thanks!
Funny how I got the Quartz version but surprisingly it has the left actuator😂

Yup the old is saying is "buy the seller" so if the listing looks too good to be true, it probably is!
I've just reported one of these copies on Facebook marketplace up for £100 as new,it read blue angles 😆
The fake I bought said the same thing.
I have one just like the fake shown in the video but with a metal band. And my watch has Angels spelled Angles
Watch end of buckles not curved as on real item.
I just ordered a citizen watch on Amazon , my heart dropped when I saw the Amazon page loolol😅

The controls do not match with the real thing. They only set time date & second hand
Not sure what you mean by ripping off the rest of the world
On wish there are fake/counterfeit Japanese watches, Swiss watches, German knives, Italian designer clothing. It's endless.
the three smaller dials are not a correct shape. They are cubie rather than slithly curved, oval on the real one. And the little nuts on there should be white.
