Pay for an Expensive Replica Patek?

[ye.zero]

The following is an extremely beautiful replica of a Patek Philippe ... movements, dial, face etc. are 100% Swiss. the leather band, crystal face, crown and hour markers however are genuine Patek watch parts.

Except the price is $1900

Would you pay it?

A Frankenwatch?

[HighDef]

Nope!!!! for that kind of money, I will get a gen GMT II. Red/Black or red/blue.

Here's the real deal:

OUCH!

[takashi]

Quoted:

Our Price: $112,000.00

MY GOSH!

I can buy any kind of watch reps with that kind of money.

[bkatbamna]

Only if it had a real Patek movement in it.

[mysql]

if it was a watch I really wanted, I guess 1900 bucks isn't so bad. Beats getting a mortage on the house for the real thing.

but I don't like that watch, so I wouldn't unless the price was under $300.

[slay]

what kind of movement is that?! and which complications actualy work properly?

[ryyannon]

zero, ye.

[takashi]

Looks like a handwound movement... Like in Omega Speedy.

Are you the kind of person that can afford a Patek Phillipe?

Donald trump can wear a cheap asian replica and people will think it's real.

The value depends on how much you think it is worth, and how bad you want it.

[t]

i can´t belive it

it is a fraud

[Guest TTK]

If it is completely functional....as a perpetual calendar / moonphase / chrono.....and the movement is a replica......I don't believe it..!

I think it's original.....!

[cwai02]

Some pictures from gen for comparison.

[t]

yes it is genuine watch

look this movement... it is impossible to get these movement. Only the price of these movement (without pate philippe brand name) cost nearly 2.000$... indifferent if the perpetual calender not works...

good joke guys

If there are rep manufacturers that are reaching the point of recreating such complicated

movements, I say wait, these will eventually filter down into the more reasonable price levels.

[slay]

the movement is just 2k??? [censored], i get a custom case/dial/hands made and sell that [censored] as a gen for 100k and prolly make 50k at least

I like this part of the auction:

Important: This item requires a charge of $1,021.80 for insurance if shipped within the US, or $1,022.20 if shipped International (Outside the US). Shipments to some distant international countries may incur an additional insurance charge.

Insurance is 40 cents more outside the US, sounds like on hell of a deal!....
