    Home sweet home ..
    Wimaladharma and Sons - some are fake some are genuine. Be careful.
    Wimaladharma Brothers - All genuine
    Tharaka Time House - only Rolex (genuine)
    SkyFi - All fake
    W.A. de Silva - all genuine
    Odel - some are genuine some are fake (one of the suppliers to Odel is Wimaladharma and Sons)
    International Watches - all genuine
    Colombo Jewelry Stores - all genuine
    Chatham Luxury Watches - all genuine

    When you are buying a genuine watch, always buy from a watchmaking company - Seiko, Citizen, Tissot, Casio, Rado, Tag Heuer, Calvin Klein (made by Tissot), Mont Blanc (same as Omega), Bulova, Kobold, Omega etc.

    Never buy from a designer brand or a non-watchmaking company brand. They are all Chinese machines in fancy cases. Examples: Puma, Nike, Swiss Military Hanowa, Emporio Armani, Kenneth Cole, Michael Kors, Louis Vuitton etc.

    Skagen is a Denmark-based startup company. They do the design for their watches but use Chinese machines. Some Chinese machines are very good in quality. Afaik, Skagen uses those machines. If you like nicely designed watches, I would say Skagen is ok. But as an enthusiast, I wouldn't buy them.



    Oyster perpetual (no date) is the cheapest model. Price changes from country to country, dealer to dealer. I would estimate around $4,000 as a starting price for a genuine Oyster Perpetual.



    Yes. Abans imports original Titan. Titan is made in India. Not the best quality.



    G-Shock is a series of models by Casio. Genuine G-shocks are expensive. Their quality is superb. There are people who collect G-shocks only!
    I don't know about Pic N Save. If you want a genuine watch, buy from an authorised dealer in Sri Lanka or abroad. If you want to buy online, try jomashop.com. They are genuine.

    Sorry guys for the late replies. I don't visit EK frequently.

    Edit: made a small correction on the Rolex model.

    අඩෝ උඹ ඔරලෝසු වලටම ඉපදුන එකෙක්ද මන්දා. උඹ මේ ඉන්ඩස්ට්‍රි එකේ මද වැඩ කරන්නෙ, නැත්තං විනොදාන්ශේට එකතු කරනවද

    එනිවේ වලියුබල් ඉන්ෆෝ මචං :yes:

    Machnla me dwas wala wow.lk eke dala tiyena me Casio watch gatta aya innawada ... mewa genuine ewada .... Danna aya kiyannaki ... me watch eka me ganata watinawada...

    https://www.wow.lk/mall/p/casio-edifice-mens-watch-efr526d1avudf--prodcsv30475/prodcsv30475/

    The wow.lk supplier is a company named Blink International
    Blink International website says they are a prime distributor for watches in Sri Lanka. Actually there's nothing called a 'prime distributor' or 'distributor' in watch industry. There are only 'authorized dealers' and 'authorized resellers'.


    May be its possible that they are not authorized but they source from wholesalers in Singapore or Hong Kong.

    I checked in Casio India website. The price in India is INR 6000 so the price is correct. Chances are the watch is genuine. Just make sure you get all the papers with the watch. Usually fake Casios don't come with papers. Only high-end fake watches come with fake papers.

    EDIT: After posting this, I checked in the Casio warranty website. Blink International is listed as the official warranty service provider for Sri Lanka. So they are the authorized dealer.
