automatico Posted January 20, 2022 Report Posted January 20, 2022 There are quite a few stray rep-mutts in my 'collection'. Stray rep-mutts = oddball watches that no one wanted. Here are three I've been feeding for 10 or 12 years... Anyone else feeding stray mutts?
Nanuq Posted January 20, 2022 Report Posted January 20, 2022 My stray mutts came from a far different kennel than yours! Wow, pretty.
automatico Posted January 21, 2022 Author Report Posted January 21, 2022 "Wow, pretty." Thanks! They'd be 'pretty' up north and 'purty' down south. Ha! I forgot to add...they're not genuine, I'll add it up top. I will dig a few more of my greatest hits misses out as time goes by. I kept a lot of it. I do not know why. My wife calls me a hoarder. I told her I stopped runnin' 'round.
Nanuq Posted January 21, 2022 Report Posted January 21, 2022 I brought a genuine Franck Muller like that back from the UK and was walking on eggshells for awhile, those bloody things are EXPENSIVE!!
automatico Posted January 21, 2022 Author Report Posted January 21, 2022 "I brought a genuine Franck Muller like that back from the UK and was walking on eggshells for awhile, those bloody things are EXPENSIVE!!" I guarantee mine to be 100% replicas. Ha! I have gathered up a lot of this stuff over the years and admit to being a 'replica collector' of a sort. FM Watchland was running a high profit scam until they got busted in the early 2000s. For one, they got caught putting fancied up Russian Poljot chronograph movements in some/many of the watches along with various other scams. Most of the info has been taken down in the past 18+ years but some of it can still be found. Here is some FM info posted on The Ripoff Report: Ripoff Report | Montres Franck Muller Review - Geneve, New York A big swiss watch robbery/scam: Arrest of Jaquet S.A. boss stirs Swiss watch business – JCK (jckonline.com) Here is a link to a You Tube video about the Jaquet robbery/scam (I posted about this scam a few years back). It starts around the 3:50 mark and again around the 10:00 mark. Fake Rolex Watches & Stolen Gold: The Jaquet Affair And Watchmaking's Greatest Scandal - Bing video
automatico Posted February 3, 2022 Author Report Posted February 3, 2022 Two more 'Stray Mutts'. Actually, it is only one Stray Mutt... ...with two faces. The 'front' side... The 'back' side... One watch with a dial on each side, two movements, and a 'flip-it-over' two sided strap. The hex crown sets the silver dial and the button crown sets the black dial. All stainless steel, 35mm wide not including crowns by 45mm long lug tip to tip. Remove the screws and the silver dial/movement comes out of the case in one piece to r/r batteries. NOS, 12 or 15 years old. It is very well made and I have never seen one anywhere else. This guy says it best... Lou Christie - Two Faces Have I - YouTube
automatico Posted February 8, 2022 Author Report Posted February 8, 2022 Woof! Had this thing for 15+ years, still 'nos' wrapped in a thin styrofoam strip,.. Blasted stainless steel case, DG auto. Lucien Piccard 'Four Barrel' automatic... This watch came in a watch order with no explanation...100% replica no doubt. Not a very good picture.
