How to Spot a Fake MK Watch
The Box
1. Edge – An original Michael Kors watch comes in a box where one edge is broader than the other, with a clear writing of ‘Michael Kors’ on it.
2. Lid – In MK watches belonging to a pre-2012 collection, the lid should be wider and bigger than the box, covering a major portion of it.
3. Logo – The logo on the top of a fake box is made of uneven and irregular letters, while they are fine and clear on an original box.
4. Limited edition box – If you see a regular MK watch in a limited edition box, be sure it is the fake.
5. Cushions – Do not have any pre-conceived notion about a definite shade of cushions for an original box, as the brand always improvises the design and styling. Still, the original pre-2012 watches have square-shaped cushions with sewn edges, whereas the fake ones have fabric cushion.
6. Batch stamp – A fake box does not have a batch stamp, which is always there in an original one.
7. Shape – Sometimes MK watches are available in cylindrical cases and it is a clear indication that they are fake. The brand does not manufacture any cylindrical cases at all.
8. Warranty booklet – You will find a warranty booklet inside a genuine MK watch box, bearing the same model number (starts with MK) found in the back of the watch. These booklets are not always available with fake ones, and even if they are, there are discrepancies regarding the model number, spelling, dates, and spacing.
9. Extra Link – An Original watch comes with an extra link in the packaging, which is not found with a fake one.
The Watch
1. Dial – Authentic ones always exhibit the original logo in the dial with a proper font and excellent finishing without having any signs of glue. So, if a watch displays ‘Michael Kors’ on the dial with uneven letters joined in the bottom and incorrect spacing, it is surely a fake one.
2. Model number – Fake watches miss the engraved four digit alphanumeric model number consisting of “MK” present at the back of the original watch. You will also find the phrase “All Stainless Steel” at the top in a semicircular pattern along with the model number.

3. Second hand – The second hand of the original watch has an intricate inverted “M” at the end. Although you cannot discard fake MK watches solely on the basis of this feature, still it’s better to take a look.
4. Crown – Genuine watches have the original MK logo embossed on the crown, unlike the false ones.
5. Sub-dials – A real MK watch with three sub-dials will have three different number values, but in the fake watches most of the time, two sub-dials showcase the same values.
6. Date display – An actual Michael Kors watch displays date with a proper alignment inside the window, whereas, in a fake watch, the display is disputable.
7. Chronograph – Genuine watches actually have chronographs, while the fake ones have only the appearance of it.
8. Bracelet- Original watches exhibits stainless steel bracelets coated with PVD. A false one has poor thin tin alloy coated with latex for a rose gold, gold or silver shade.
9. Embellishments – An authentic stone-studded Michael Kors watch has all the crystals perfectly placed, but a fake watch has patches of glue with an uneven finishing, giving it an unflattering look.
10. Weight – The originals are more or less same in weight, with differences of maximum 4 grams due to the coating level or material changes, whereas a fake one differs up to 40 grams from an original one.
11. Price – This is an absolute clincher; an original watch costs around $160-$425 whereas the fake ones are much cheaper, being available only for $10-$53.
Those are enough tips to recognize a fake MK watch, aren’t they? Now go on and get yourself one. Safe shopping!
Adams, Elissa, Heidi Klum, and Catherine Zeta-Jones.Along with the attraction of celebrities, has come the attraction of many counterfeiters. Below are a few steps to identify fake Michael Kors watches.
 |
The first thing to check on a Michael Kors watch is the packaging. We normally prefer to focus more on the product itself, rather than the packaging but the counterfeits are so close, we need to reference both.If your watch is new, most watches will include extra links that come in a separate plastic bag. If it does, it is most likely real.

Next, examine the pillow that comes with the watch, if the watch is pre 2012. On the real one, notice the corners. The ends are sewn and square edged while the fake is a one piece fabric. More like an actual pillow.
 |
Next, look at the rim of the box base. One side should be wider than the others, and have the "Michael Kors" logo embossed into the top.
Next, if there is a date display, look at the alignment. It should be displayed exactly in the center of the window. As you can see in the picture above, it is way too far to the right.

Next, look at the "Michael Kors" on the dial. Notice on the real one that the letters do not touch each other and have a clearly seen gap between all of them. The fake one has the letters connecting at the bottom.
One more thing to mention about the box is the lid, if the watch is pre 2012. Most of the counterfeit boxes have lids with normal size flaps. Notice on the real one, the lid flaps come almost all the way down the box base.I won't mention the name but there is a website that sells the replica watches for about 10% of the authentic prices. Don't buy from this site, they're junk!
Another thing to look at is the subdials. Notice above, two of the subdials have exactly the same numbers on the dial. They should all have different number values.
