AI-Powered Screening

Is your watch real?

Superclones are getting better. Franken watches are everywhere. Our AI screening cross-references your watch data against known authentication markers to flag inconsistencies before they become problems.

How screening works

Step 01

Reference Validation

We cross-check your serial number format, reference number, and production year against known brand databases. Invalid combinations are flagged instantly.

Step 02

AI Analysis

Our AI engine analyzes your watch data against brand-specific authentication knowledge. It knows what serial ranges match which references, what dials were offered, and what superclone factories target.

Step 03

Expert Review

For additional confidence, verified watchmakers on our platform can review flagged cases and provide professional opinions. Coming soon for premium members.

What the screening covers

Serial Number Format

Validates the serial number format against known patterns for the brand. Catches obvious format mismatches.

Reference Cross-Check

Verifies the reference number exists, matches the stated model, and was produced in the claimed year range.

Superclone Detection

Analyzes known superclone factory tells for the specific reference. Flags common replication targets.

Franken Watch Risk

Checks for inconsistencies between serial, reference, and production year that might indicate mixed parts.

Production Year Alignment

Validates that the serial number range is consistent with the claimed production year for the brand.

Model Consistency

Confirms that the reference number matches the stated model, dial configuration, and case material.

Important

This is a screening tool, not a definitive authentication service. Our AI analyzes data patterns and flags potential inconsistencies. It cannot physically inspect your watch. For conclusive authentication, always consult an authorized dealer or certified watchmaker. A clean screening result increases confidence but does not guarantee authenticity.
