How to tell if a swiss army watch is a fake?

Where to buy Swiss Army Titanium Watch

• My mom gave me a Swiss Army Titanium Watch for my graduation in 2001. It had a black face plate, metalic brazalet and yellow seconds hand. The thing is the watch got stolen and I don't have the heart to tell her so I'm going to do what any decent son would do and buy another one and never speak of what happened again. But I can't seem to find it. The first person to find a decent Internet Store where I can buy it for $600 or less gets the $15. If you find it under $500 you get 1/3 of the difference from the price to $500 as a tip. Thank you very much.

  Hi again T4you ... Per your clarification, here's your answer: A search of Swiss Army titanium watches on the Swiss Army site turned up nothing close to what you described. See the Swiss Army site: http://www.swissarmy.com/ However, I did find one made by Victorinox for Swiss Army, which is titanium, including the titanium band, has a black dial and a yellow sweep second hand ... you can see the watch at the following site for Gunther gifts. The price is about right for a model that would be about two years old ($475). Gunther Gifts in New Mexico has the watch you need, and you can order it here: http://store.yahoo.com/gunther-gifts/odtit.html The distinction, by the way, is the black face and the yellow sweep hand, which makes this a rare watch, indeed. Your mom has good taste. And take my word as a mom ... you'll be glad you did this. Yours ever so, Serenata
