DuDro Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 My novice eyes tell me that it's a rep...The "inca-block" ring holding the jewel for the adjustment dagger doesn't look the same to gens that I've seen and compared to. I think some poor schmuck will be taken for a ride...Sad...Truly sad... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The watch's provenance is very dodgy (check out the questions asked & answered section); two months old and no papers. You know there was a Fiddy stolen from a Risti member around two months ago -- it disappeared from the back of a FedEx lorry. IIRC, it wasn't in its box. It was traced to an eBay dealer, and the owner didn't keep others updated so I don't know what happened. I see at least one Risti member asking a question about it, and others even openly trying to buy it OUTSIDE of eBay, which contravenes their rules. Phone number and everything, hooboy, that's desperation. The strap is the butterscotch one, and the case looks like a rep box BUT I think the watch itself is real. This could be that missing Fiddy...or it could be another Fiddy that went missing, like a famous Risti member's 127 that was lifted from the table en pleine GTG in NYC! Check it out: hxxp://www.network54.com/Forum/385842/ "Operation Save the Fiddy". Beautiful. Anyway, Wan, hope this isn't a scam... EDIT: Oh 117? Fake. Looks like an Eddie Lee Special at that. Message to eBay to alert them coming up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegrasser Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 The winner did not pay for a Nautilus that was won previously. So I think everything is going to be OK no matter how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesg Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 No wonder he didn't pay as his history shows he spent $108k on a Patek Moonphase one month earlier!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What joy in that? Somethings just have to be done in person. He has no fear, that is for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PAMman Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Standard rep with an Asian dagger movement, judging by the shock protection system. Looks like a recessed pin too, as well as a fake standard box etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
togad Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 You've got to be pretty stupid to sell a fake to a guy who bought one of these: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...em=150172524442 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegrasser Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I let him know in a round about way. My first message to him was "Let me know if the Panerai turns out to be genuine". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted December 15, 2007 Report Share Posted December 15, 2007 I let him know in a round about way. My first message to him was "Let me know if the Panerai turns out to be genuine". Something occured to me yesterday, but I didn't think it right to cast aspersions on the buyer. Still, I wonder if he really bought an 108k Patek Philippe OR if it is a duplicate account of the guy selling the Fiddy? That way you can leave yourself good feedback on a pricey item for future (larger) scams. -- The one logistical hole is that there were plenty of others who wanted to buy the watch, but maybe the seller got nervous, and decided to bail on his own item. It also presumes a third dupe account, WRT the Patek -- This must happen ALL the time on Fleabay. Ironically, dupe accounts as we have seen daily here for a while..., are immediately removed I presume by targetting the IP of the member trying to cloak himself on RWG. Fancy that, a rep watch forum has more care in protecting its members than the world's largest boot sale. Not to mention its membership are trying to protect others from being scammed. Not Fleabay, that's for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
georgegrasser Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 You are right Victoria. Chrishee only has two feedbacks. I doubt anyone starts out on Ebay buying a 100K Patek! Edit: Or not. They both left neg feedback for each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
