jtiis Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Here's one on the bay now. I never studied the Top Gun. Have not plans on this one but thought some might like a looksie. http://cgi.ebay.com/IWC-PilotsChrono-Automatic-Top-Gun-/260600126233?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Wristwatches&hash=item3cacfa5b19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patinga Posted May 14, 2010 Report Share Posted May 14, 2010 Zero feedback scares me off auctions like these. Also, just has the box, no papers. And finally, no shot of the movement. Could be Gen, but a little sketchy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted May 15, 2010 Report Share Posted May 15, 2010 I agree with Patinga... who knows if this is real.. Not an expert. but i don't got a good feeling about this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sul Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Damn..side engraving are light colour as replica does have. It can be made partly from gen parts ( like concepta watches:) ) but case is not gen( my opinion)- engravings colour is too "white" This can be replica...somebody can report to eBay? Edit: ok, auction is ended already..somebody got not so perfect deal... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 check out the missing "33" marker.... This guy is a scammer.. Somebody just lost $2,500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtiis Posted May 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 A very sad LOL... didn't even notice the 33 plaifender... good eye. Hope the buyer uses Amex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jchurch Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 I think the 33 marker is actually there but hidden behind one of the hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottishJackal Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 Where is the pusher at 10? and the wee marker at the date is closer to the 3 indicator than any pics of gen I can see.<div><br></div><div>Looks rep to me.</div> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peyups Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Guys its a top gun v2 rep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sul Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 One possibility is that this is gen watch, case was broken, broke case was replaced with rep case. Inside rep ceramic case is gen movement dial etc. Buyer did pay probably with/via PP so he/she can open PP dispute. If we are sure that this was a rep, then still is needed to inform eBay or not?

And IMHO this is a V2 just like peyups said.Colour on the TOP GUN logo is not gen like and the crown is to gray and bigger in size.I know cause i got a gen movement powered V2 franken.

coolfire Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 It does look like a V2. Yep, what a scam... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I reported it yesteday.. but the auction was already over.. I hate when this type of [censored] happens. The buyer is getting conned! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackKnight Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Omg, $2500 for a rep. Is that a record? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plaifender Posted May 18, 2010 Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Omg, $2500 for a rep. Is that a record? Sorry to say it probably isn't. Too many people try to sell these off as GENs out there in the real world. It's sad. In any case.. I remember seeing a franken vintage daytona go for over 10,000k if my memory serves correctly...
