There is a lot of fake fine jewelry in the world. Imitations are watches, rings, necklaces...etc. that were made to look like the real thing. Sometimes a forger can do a pretty good job imitating their targets.
Recently Tareq Salahi, (crashed the presidents party with his wife) paid his gardener with a watch that a jeweler has determined fake. The gardener was given a Patek Philippe watch which can cost around $15,000. The gardener was not a professional jeweler and so was in no place to asses the quality or integrity of his payment. One of the first things Salahi's gardener did was take his watch to his jeweler for inspection. Upon examination of the watch, the jeweler declared it a fake. Mike Dunbar (the gardener) is now taking legal action against Salahi to correct this wrong.
Knowing a good jeweler whom you trust is very important when purchasing any jewelry, including something as complicated as a watch. If you are not familiar with a specific time piece, you could be easily fooled.
