gplracer Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 I am not so sure The marks on the 30 minute counter do not line up right, there is no roman numeral marks on the subdials, rolex symbol seems too high as well. I am just learning so maybe these observations are incorrect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Franken with poor aftermarket dial. Rule of thumb - Honest sellers provide good, clear, bright pics that clearly illustrate small details. Dishonest sellers post small, dark, out-of-focus or shadowy pics to obscure details. I do not think I have ever seen a single exception to the rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Actually, the movement pics aren't too bad when you enlarge them. The balance looks good, gears look good, chrono bridge looks OK. Can't tell if there is a 722 under the balance wheel. This isn't a Phong movement and it might be legit. I'm not sure about the caseback, end pieces of the bracelet are wrong, and the dial is an admitted redial. Look at the 4 on the running seconds at nine- should have a flat-top. My guess is that people will know they're buying a franken of sorts, but I would expect a price in the 10K range. It could be a good project watch w/ a better dial.

JoJo35 Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 Already up to $12,100 ...a 12 grand gamble if you ask me. Questionable at best! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alligoat Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 A 14 grand gamble. Is someone stupid, or does it get repackaged w/ a better dial and sold for 20K+? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
