I dont know, look at that crown...

could it be a lello :woot:

I'd say rep... the date is too far from the dial and it's too close to 5:00...

edit:

Also look at the hands, they've got rounded edges typical in the reps. On second thought...I'll guarantee it's a rep.

I agree the dat screams asian 7750.....but that crown is pretty nice for a 196 rep IMO.

Date also looks very recessed to me.

He is selling several other pans and they look a little supect too. however i am not an expert

appears to be using pic's stolen from EL's photo album.

fake.

Fake. IMHO, they are all fake. Good crowns but everything else looks fishy.

These pics are from one of our dealers photo albums, cannot find it now, but I know them well. It is a rep, and I agree most likely Asian 7750, recall the crown is relatively good on the Asian version, it got worst on the ETA model, the date weal is clearly too deep, also the strap is the sort you can get from Silix for 40$, clear fake, no doubt

Fake. Send a report to Ebay; that's the only way to combat these a**holes...
