mbjoer Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 What is this one: Nicely decorated, but I don't know what it is. Description says Venus, but it does not look like the standard Sea-gull. Who makes it, and in which watches is it found? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 Looks like a skeletonized UT6497 or 6497 clone to me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wombat247 Posted September 30, 2009 Report Share Posted September 30, 2009 (edited) Well, I can't believe they'd put that movement with this dial but here it is: It's described as a PATEK PHILIPPE GENEVE SS AUTOMATIC WHITE 003 the dial is clearly silver, it's a manual wind movement and the page shows pics of a Patek ring too so it's possible that the pictures are all mixed up. I'd check with King before actually ordering it. Furthermore, the carving shown on that movement is leaps ahead of what I've seen on any rep movment costing $255. Either that's not the movement you'll get or chinese tech has advanced greatly. Also, it looks like a Unitas movement so you should expect the case to be at least 42mm. http://www.kingshowbox.com/goods.php?id=161 Edited September 30, 2009 by wombat247 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbjoer Posted October 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 @ wombat: Agree, the dial is not my favourite. However caseback and in particular movement are very nice. So perhaps worth it asking if the dial/caseback pics have been mixed here. But looking closely I doubt it. @ fxr: What is your wife's watch?

Dudemeister Posted October 1, 2009 Report Share Posted October 1, 2009 Actually, the movement design looks like "Minute Repeater" (aka a chime watch) to me. You might want to ask the dealer if this watch has a chime function. If this is working repeater, I've got to get one, because real Minute Repeaters cost upwards of 20K. This appears to be a highly engraved one. Check this link out and tell me if that doesn't look suspiciously like a repeater.
