Everythingape Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Ok, this one baffled me a little bit.. This is a store with over 2000 sales and good feedback.. I have been watching a Panerai 111h with a long story about how they had the movement changed and all. This Panerai looks real to me, but I am not sure. Panerai Then I see this; An Omega Seamster GMT, a watch I have seen a lot of, and I own a rep of.. Same story with this watch, movement swap and bla bla bla.. But the bezel insert is not aligned, the He-valve is not where it should be and the bezel pearl looks a bit off. Am I being paranoid here, Omegas look like this?

KB Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Ok The GMT is a rep and going on that basis I will guess the Pam is too (I'm not good enough to pick that) I think the catch here is that the seller has built up 2000 feedback through the sale of Pop art (nickle and dime stuff) so now they are well respected they can slip ina few reps and make real money.

mikellem Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 I agree 100% with Ken.. Only because of this inexpensive art he sells. I would bet money they are reps.. Except I am not an expert al all.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythingape Posted November 6, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 Yeah, Kenberg.. I thought about that.. And it seems quite weird with the two stories matching up like that. The crown looks good on the Panerai though.. But we all know how that can be done.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewightstuff Posted November 6, 2006 Report Share Posted November 6, 2006 looks like a recessed cannon pinion to me in the first pic with the panerai. actually the more acute the angle, the more obvious the recessed cannon issue shows up and this is really jumping out. all this is my opinion of course Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OiRogers Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 The same seller had a Orange P/O up a few weeks back with same story of "not keeping good time... replaced the movement with ETA"... It was obvious 4th gen though... nice overall, but the hands were visibly too short... exact match to my 4th gen 42.5mm one. I sent the seller a message asking how much extra to get the original movement included... and he stated they threw the old calibre away as unrepairable... WTF?, outside is flawless new watch but movement is damaged beyond repair?... sent a message back calling him on the fake and never got a reply.
