All Elite Timepieces watches are guaranteed to be authentic.  We rigorously inspect every watch we receive for authenticity, and after over 20,000 watch purchases have never failed to spot a counterfeit/replica or stolen watch.  All of our timepieces are generally referenced against Trace, Recipero, WCSA, and our Elite Timepieces Watch Certification databases of counterfeit and stolen property; we then have our expert watchmakers certify the watch for absolute authenticity.
