Some more genuine 1680 differences...

[automatico]

After the fake case 1680 fiasco on TZ last week and the posts about it on VRF I have decided some of these 'experts' are full of BS.

For instance...read this carefully then look at the back of the case around the CG in the picture...

Then look at this red 1680 for sale at only $26000.00...

The genuine $26k case has some things that are claimed to be fake in the Orchi post. Also look at how far the CG extend over the crown compared to some other genuines.

 

After looking at this and many other similar posts I am not going to worry very much about modding a replica case to mimic a 'genuine' case because it seems the profile and details of a 'genuine' case are a moving target. 

The more I learn the less I know.

Well said. And the more a watch has been used, the more its shape will change too. Here's my high mileage example, that looks nothing like the pictures online.

Guess I need to check the backside of the cgs when I get home and also the engraved 'E's on the case!
