I found this 2 Sinn 103 , and honestly I never seen real Sinn 103 with glass like this. How can I be sure they are real, and not a replicas?

Hi and welcome to WatchUSeek and the Sinn Forum.

First of all, we don't do evaluations here. You'll get a pretty good idea of the fair market value of most watches if you do a search on our Sales Corner and do a search for completed auctions on EBay. As for fake Sinns, I've never seen a 103 replicated. If in doubt, buy the seller and not the watch. And if the deal seems too good to be true...it probably is.

Good luck with your search.

Looks like the normal, domed acrylic to me.

Never heard about or saw Sinn fakes..not even in Istanbul, where you get just about every big brand for a 140$. Looks like simple acrylic glass 103s to me. But if you don't trust the dealer, don't buy...It's that easy!!

If you do a search for Sinn U2 replicas on youtube you'll find some.....

The reason I asked because the "dome " shape , and glossy glass. By the way is $129 I can't link the site I guess, but it would helpful to others to check it out, because exactly looks like a real. Just google it , Sinn 103 replica , and will show up. This is a reason I bought Marathon, because too many fake Sinn outer, and nobody even had an idea they making replicas of Sinn.

I hate to state the obvious, but if a price 1/10th of what it could reasonably be expected to cost doesn't tip you off to it being a fake or fraud, then I don't know how a bunch of strangers on the internet will help you out. Seriously, dude, use some common sense!

The Sinn I wanted to buy it is $1200! The reason I asked what you guys think about it "photo above" because it looks fake, and I know some website you can buy a fake one. I tried to explain to Clonetrooper member, because he said he didn't see replicas . You never heard when people selling fakes as new ???
So you are not Obvious ...Read the whole page before you try to judge someone! And I am not your Dude , you are probably much younger than me .

I've seen replica sinns before, but these look real to me. I've been told one way to tell the difference is that the 12 hour subdial hand on the replicas do not have the pointed tip, as it is too expensive to make.
If you are finding somewhere these 2 for sale at a low price, the seller may be falsely using real photos to sell replicas, happens frequently.
Be careful out there, scammers are everywhere, and good luck.
