Well if you haven't paid yet, don't. I actually think that the case may be real - it does look like a 2914, and I have seen similar hands on a 2914. The dial looks like a bad redial - letters above 6 o'clock don't look level, and the movement is not original. |

This is a 100% factory production from whoever in Tianjin is making these. It has the standard dial re-paint and standard caseback model number and movement marking. It's a serial fraud for eBay. You'll note that you can buy these crowns new from sellers in Tianjin. When I asked where the seller got them, he just said his "watchmaker had them." |

Wow, didn't realise that there were a bunch of these coming out - that case actually looks like a good reproduction! |

It is either real or produced in larger quantities. I saw this one on Ebay in 2009 Golden rule: when in doubt...stay away ! (and China, Rumania, Turkey, Italy and South America should raise some doubt) Kind regards, Marco |
