Questions About Real Silver Watches
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Pulsar watches are indeed real. Pulsar was the world’s first electronic digital watch and is currently a division of the Seiko Watch Corporation. You can shop a collection of Pulsar watches from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not antique silver is real depends on the piece. Sometimes, manufacturers simply call a gray-silver finish antique silver. In these cases, the item is usually not real silver. It is possible for antique silver to be pure silver, sterling or silver plated. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of silver decorative objects and jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Sheffield silver is part real silver, part copper. Sheffield manufactured what is known as a Sheffield plate, which is a “double sandwich” form of plating—it has a sheet of silver on each side of a piece of copper. Shop a selection of Sheffield pieces on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    It depends on the make and model whether or not silver cutlery contains real silver. Some flatware contains a percentage of sterling silver, however, not all silvertone flatware contains silver. Shop a wide collection of flatware, including silver, on 1stDIbs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 27, 2024
    Yes, Poole Silver is real silver. However, the American silversmith didn't produce all of its pieces out of solid silver. Poole developed an electro-plating technique that allowed a thin, durable layer of silver to be applied over sturdy base metals. On 1stDibs, find a range of Poole Silver Co. silver wares.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 21, 2024
    Yes, Taxco silver is real silver. Pieces bearing the Taxco mark come from silversmith workshops located in Taxco, Mexico. The region has been known as a major center for silver production since the 1920s. Find a diverse assortment of Taxco silver jewelry, tableware and decorative objects on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Gorham silver is real silver, however, the silver content changes depending on the item. Some Gorham items are sterling silver, which isn’t pure silver, but a mix of mostly silver and a small amount of another alloy, likely copper. Some other Gorham items are silver-plated. Shop a collection of Gorham silver jewelry from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Yes, Russian silver is real silver, but it gets a little confusing because they do not have the same sterling silver standards that Europe, Australia, Canada, the United States and other countries associated with the British Commonwealth have. Russian silver is roughly 94.79% pure silver and the rest is copper or other alloys. The British Commonwealth silver standard uses 92.5% pure silver and the rest is copper or other alloys. Shop a collection of authentic Russian silver from some of the worlds top boutiques on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 12, 2024
    One way to tell if silver is real is to look for a hallmark stamp. A stamp reading STER, 925, 999 or 800 indicates that a decorative object, tableware piece or jewelry item is made from a silver alloy. If you have difficulty determining whether or not an item is genuine silver, consult an experienced jeweler, appraiser or antiques dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of silver decorative objects, tableware and jewelry.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    Yes, Christofle is real silver. The French silversmith produces pieces out of sterling silver that are roughly 93% pure silver and 7% copper. In addition, Christofle offers silver-plate items, which have a thin layer of 99.9% fine silver over a base metal. Explore a selection of Christofle silver wares on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, the International Silver Company produced real silver products. The marking IS, or International Silver, does not indicate the purity of the silver. In order to determine if the piece is real silver, look for the mark “925,” which indicates sterling silver.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Yes, Geneva watches are real gold. They're made with 14-karat gold and are never gold-plated.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 22, 2021
    Bulova watches are made from the finest materials, which includes real diamonds and gold. As a result they are considered an American luxury watch brand.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 5, 2022
    Whether or not Elgin watches are gold depends on the timepiece in question. The watchmaker did produce pocket watches and wristwatches out of 10-karat, 14-karat and 18-karat gold, but some timepieces are just goldtone metal. On 1stDibs, find a variety of Elgin watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertJanuary 4, 2022
    You can tell if a Gucci watch is real by looking at the back. An authentic Gucci watch will have a Gucci logo and model number on the back plate. Additionally, on the face, at the 6:00 position, it will say "Swiss Made." Shop a collection of Gucci watches from some of the world’s top sellers on 1stDibs.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMay 5, 2023
    To tell if a Hermès watch is real, first look at the brand marking on the back. On replicas, the logo may be missing elements, show little detail or be shallow compared to an authentic stamp, which will match the classic horse-drawn carriage Caleche logo exactly, be richly detailed and have a deep relief. Next, examine the stitching on the band. Uneven and loose stitching will usually indicate a fake. On 1stDibs, find a range of Hermès watches from some of the world's top sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    To tell if a TAG watch is real, first check the serial number, usually found on the back of the case. The Swiss luxury watchmaker offers a serial number warranty checker tool on its website that you can use to determine if the serial number is authentic. Next, examine the glass on the watch face. Genuine TAG Heuer watches feature highly scratch-resistant sapphire glass, so if you notice any fine scratches, the watch is likely a fake. You can also test the glass by placing a few drops of water on it. On an authentic TAG Heuer, you'd expect the water to form an evenly shaped pool due to the properties of the glass. If the water runs or smears, the watch could be a reproduction. Next, double-check that all logos match the official TAG Heuer branding. Finally, turn the crown. If it doesn't move smoothly or feels loose and unsecure, the watch could be a replica. When in doubt, a certified appraiser or other knowledgeable expert can inspect your timepiece to authenticate it. On 1stDibs, find a wide range of TAG Heuer watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertApril 22, 2024
    To tell if your Geneva watch is real, first refer to its Certificate of Origin and Conformity. Modern certificates include an identification code, which can be entered on the Geneva Seal website to verify the watch's authenticity. Some modern certificates also include a QR code that can be scanned with a smartphone to confirm authenticity. If you have a watch without an identification code or don't have the certificate, first examine the watch's movement. Genuine Geneva watches are known for the exceptional quality of their movements. This is one of the most critical aspects to consider when evaluating a potential purchase for authenticity. So, inspect your watch's work carefully for craftsmanship and precision. Next, examine the overall quality of the watch. Poorly crafted parts are a telltale sign of a fake. Use a loupe or magnifying glass to examine each component's material, craftsmanship and distinctive details. You can also seek the expert opinion of a certified appraiser or knowledgeable dealer. On 1stDibs, explore a wide range of Geneva watches.
  • 1stDibs ExpertFebruary 26, 2024
    To know if a Rolex watch is real, you’ll want to look at several factors. For one, if a Rolex is $50 or less, it’s certainly not genuine. Additionally, if a Rolex watch is real, it will have its serial and model numbers deeply engraved into the metal between the lugs attaching the band to the body (fakes often just have them etched on with acid). Real Rolex movements are self-winding and mechanical, as opposed to quartz or battery-powered. The lettering is also a reliable tell: All lettering on the face of a Rolex watch should have an exquisitely crisp appearance. It should be centered and perfectly aligned without inconsistent spacing, blurs, splotches or misspellings. On 1stDibs, you can find vintage Rolex watches for sale from expertly vetted sellers.
  • 1stDibs ExpertMarch 22, 2022
    To tell if a Fendi watch is real, examine the face. Ensure that the Fendi name is in the correct font with letters evenly spaced. Also, authentic Fendi watches will feature separate metal markers rather than printed-on numbers and indices. Shop a range of expertly vetted Fendi watches on 1stDibs.
