I never usually click on ads because I don’t trust them and they tend to be garbage. In general I avoid a product if I see ads for it. I’ve been getting a lot of ads for Tufina Watches and ignored them at first but I went to their page on instagram and it has almost 100k followers and I’m thinking maybe they are real?? I checked out their store and I’m now considering buying this watch but I’m very wary of being scammed and not sure if it’s legit. Any advice would be really appreciated

    The website is legit, they make German assembled watches, but pretty sure the movements and other parts are now made in China. Their whole “made since 1826” story seems to not have many actual historical accounts of the long prestige they claim, besides what their website says. Its a weird rabbit hole you can fall down trying to trace back their supposed nearly 200 year history. They over price their watches then always discount them steeply. I really don’t know what to think about this company.

    Here’s a write up about the company

      Oh I see, is the quality still good though? I really don’t care where it was made or the prestige of owning a certain brand. I just want a watch that looks nice, works well, and doesn’t cost 8 billion dollars haha. Do you think the current sale price is reasonable for the quality of the watch?

    This is most likely not a scam, just an overpriced watch with a fake discount
