Gatchaman Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 At $10100 now. How can you tell its fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auman20 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Gee...over AU 10k. But, a very beautiful Newman dial, most likely gen. If not, I will be really surprised. I have one question though? What will be the fair price like this? 18kt solid gold case + swiss 727 + gen (like) dial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Neither the dial (incorrect fonts, for starters) nor the movement (wrong regulating system, for starters) are genuine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoJo35 Posted September 23, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Neither the dial (incorrect fonts, for starters) nor the movement (wrong regulating system, for starters) are genuine. I agree freddy. It's pathetically, incredibly fake. I'm sure a close-up would easily call out the bezel insert too. Scam artist like this should be thrown in jail,. A member here even thinks it's a gen dial!!! (not!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tickertp Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Phong has these for sale at http://jewelryandwatch.com/index1.html, plus all of the parts to pt one together. A good educational site! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

freddy333 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Holy crap, now over ten grand USD! These people are out of their friggin minds! I cannot blame inexperienced buyers. There was a time, not too long ago, when I would have salivated over that POS. Ignorance is bliss. But that seller should be outed. I wonder if a bunch of us should, 1-by-1, post questions (in the form of comments) in his auction? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hank7502 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I think it's a gen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

polexpete Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I think it's a gen. Don't be silly now, JoJo and Freddy know their stuff.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Wow! $15,488.00 US. Looks like two inexperienced guys and one guy w/ 140 buys on ebay were fighting for it. I wonder what the winner's going to do when he finds out it's a fake/franken. Too bad these guys don't know about Phong. They could have saved themselves a lot of money.

freddy333 Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 I emailed the seller, hoping my 'question' would get posted to both scare other potential bidders away &, hopefully, attract the attention of ebay's security team. But he just reiterated what he said to others & it never got posted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakemaster Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 Bidding over. $18,001.00. Rock and roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 The seller could have a partner bidding it up. That seller is very crafty, I wouldn't put it past him. You note in his description he was very careful not to make any false claims. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted September 24, 2009 Report Share Posted September 24, 2009 ebay security was alerted by a number of people. Hopefully, they took action before the auction ended. It is 1 thing to build frankens for yourself & tout them as gens to your friends, but it is another kettle of (stinking) fish when you try to pawn (sell) them off as gens to unsuspecting buyers.
