The post-diamond-encrusted watch is a watch that was originally not encrusted at the factory. Later, it was upgraded by a second-hand vendor or watch owner, and a diamond inlaid master was found. It is difficult to compare the technical level and materials of inlaid diamonds with the original diamond watches, because different brands have different values of inlaid diamonds. The watch with diamonds behind it is not recognized by the brand because it changes the appearance of the watch, and may even be considered as a fake watch.

For the same watch, the price difference between diamond-encrusted and non-diamond-encrusted watches will be a lot, and some precious metal models will even be several times higher. As far as these two watches are concerned, the counter price of Cartier blue balloon W692007 1 without diamonds is 43,500 yuan, while the market price of the same watch with diamonds W4BB00 16 is 79,900 yuan. The temptation of the second-hand market can be imagined.

How to distinguish between original diamonds and post-set diamonds

1. Observe whether the inlaid diamonds are arranged neatly.

Neither the quality nor the technological requirements of the post-diamond-encrusted watch can be compared with the original diamond-encrusted watch, because the brand officials have very strict requirements on the materials and inlay technology of their own diamond-encrusted watches; Then, you only need to embed the diamond into the watch, and the requirements for the diamond and the inlay process are not strict. Therefore, we can use the eyepiece to check whether the inlaid diamonds are arranged neatly, evenly and orderly, and whether the diamond tables in the same row face the same side.

2. Touch by hand to observe whether the height of the diamond is uniform from the side.

Touch the diamond-encrusted area by hand to check whether there is a uniform concave-convex feeling; Then carefully observe whether the height of the contact surface between the drill claw and the diamond is uniform with the eyepiece. There will be no broken diamonds and missing corners.

3. Observe whether the cut and clarity of the diamond are consistent.

The original diamond watch generally chooses diamonds according to the size and design style of the watch. Of course, the diamond cutting process and purity used by the brand will remain uniform. Diamond size, color grade, clarity grade, inlay claw thickness, leaving no trace in the inlay process, etc. For example, some fake diamonds have glue overflow at the bottom, irregular adhesion and so on.

4. Compare the watch information according to the factory logo on the back of the watch.

General back-set diamond watches only set diamonds on the dial and bezel, and do not deal with the original engraving on the bottom of the watch. We can find the characteristics of the watch according to the factory logo on the back of the watch and compare and screen it.
