"Important Notice regarding Counterfeit and Modified SEIKO watches

It has come to our attention that several online sellers, including those operating on auction sites, online marketplaces, and social media platforms, are offering counterfeit watches for sale. These are sometimes indistinguishable from genuine products. There are also scam websites where sellers promote products by using images of SEIKO watches, but no product is delivered to the customer even after they pay.

Some online sellers are using the SEIKO logo to pretend to be an authorized dealer, while others are claiming that products have been modified using SEIKO “aftermarket” parts.

Additionally, we have seen an increasing number of so-called “MOD watches” (modified watches) being sold online. These are watches that have been modified with fake or unauthorized components, often labeled as “aftermarket” parts. We do not endorse or authorize any modification of our products.

We do not authorize any of these sellers or the products they offer. Neither counterfeit watches nor MOD watches are covered by our warranty or quality assurance.

Furthermore, such counterfeit products and MOD watches are usually not subject to health and safety regulations for materials or workmanship. Therefore, please be warned that using these watches can cause serious health and safety concerns.

We strive to eliminate illegal sites and counterfeit or modified products to protect our intellectual property rights. We aim to bring our valued customers continued enjoyment and satisfaction with genuine SEIKO products.

Please be sure to confirm authenticity before purchasing."
