offshore Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 I ask the Rx experts here for their opinion on this lot. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/90-crowns-new-old-stock-rolex-tudor-signed-vintage_W0QQitemZ380196674738QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Watches?hash=item58857cdcb2#ht_591wt_958 A little history. First I believe this is not the 1st time this lot or a similar one has been listed. (Think I may have even asked a couple of our RX guys here about it by PM?) Next I have had dealings with the seller, and he is not to be trusted! He comes from a very old watch making family here in Oz, is the black sheep, and has been selling off the family's accumulated stock for at least 5 years on ebay. I had purchased from him (and even met him face to face)...nothing he advertises is TOTALLY false, he just gilds the lily a bit, or more than a bit! So don't go rushing out to snap up a bargain, as there will be more to this lot than meets the eye. However it is an interesting offering....if it's fact; but then "If it's to good to be true..then........." Offshore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Difficult to say for certain based on those pics; what I can see is that several of the crowns in the large pic look to be in non-usable condition, and that's the visible damage. I bet several are probably cross threaded as well. The 7mm Triplock in the second pic looks okay in terms of being correct. I wouldn't be surprised if there were a few aftermarket or outright fakes in that mix as well, however. What's actually good in that mix may be few and far between.

freddy333 Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 Ditto Ubi. Assuming the crowns (or most) are at least gens, I suspect you could, at worst, play musical chairs with the caps & innards to fathom a handful of good, working crowns. So if you can get the lot for the price of a few gen crowns, it might be a worthwhile gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
