castle4444 Posted December 8, 2017 Report Share Posted December 8, 2017 Hi all, First post on the forum so please take it easy ;0) Just after peoples thoughts of this watch I've recently picked up in a deal. It was refurbished earlier in the year, movement serviced, seals replaced, glass replaced, dial refinished, relumed, hands refinished etc. I've included 2 original picture before the work took place (last two). I know the bezel insert is wrong and of course the re-dial but does everything else look right???? Thanks in advance Adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmg_3 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Should have left all original or purchased a new dial.Would have been worth 2-4k more with original dial / hands but I understand some do not like the worn look.Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dlf Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 Caseback looks dubious, looks laser engraved on the outside, and the inside markings are not the right font. Plus the engravings on midcase are also iffy, E for example is wrong. Movement looks fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pam007 Posted December 9, 2017 Report Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Case is fake (engraving is fake) Case back is fake (engraving is fake) Dial is fake (redone like you said) Hands are fake (seconds hand does not taper) Bezel and insert are both fake. Crown looks gen 703 movement looks gen Edited December 9, 2017 by pam007 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DVNE Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Looks like a off the shelf Phong piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hugop Posted December 20, 2017 Report Share Posted December 20, 2017 737....series serial numbers are a well documented rep flag. This is a later Phong case and back. Movement and crown gen rest is rep.I have an earlier version again 737xxx serial except the one I have is not laser engraved. E' s are wrong on mine too...Still a nice watch just know what you have and enjoy it. I would have left the old dial and hands....Sent from my SM-T587P using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
