    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.

    I am a watch enthusiast and a member of the world's largest watch forum. If you need any advice pls pm me.

    Is G-shock a watchmaking company?

    Thank you for info. and Do you have any idea about SKAGEN watches ?

    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.

    very informative machan....

    what is the starting price point of rolex?​

    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.

    Abans eke thiyena Titan watches originalda machanla

    http://www.buyabans.com/product-info/tiwh2553sm03#

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

    Really useful info!

    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.
