gran Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) It looks like a patek 530, but there's just something off about it, especially the shape of the pushers and crown, and the dial lacking any sort of vintage silver patina. Also don't like the fact that the crystal is brand new. ?????????????? maybe its brand new Edited February 17, 2012 by Gran Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also don't like the fact that the crystal is brand new. Not perfect, but it looks pretty close to me. Here is a 1950s 530 for comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

praetor Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) well, stainless steel chronograph pateks are always different than their gold cousins in terms of shape randy (just see that it has lug holes), you have to compare apples to apples. Just take a look at the stainless Patek 96 shapes and you'll see what I mean. Don't be fooled into thinking that because it's a patek it means that they use an in house movement. These vintage pateks have a valjoux 23 ebauche, which is a very common movment. There's a lot of replicas floating around. Regardless, it's a nice watch. I'm sorry if the critique seems harsh, but for such an expensive watch ($300k range), you'd really have to be extremely careful. The fact that it still has a pouch doesn't give it more credibility either, in fact, it gives it less Edited February 17, 2012 by praetor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ubiquitous Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 No worries... I picked the pouch up separately Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
