Looks like a genuine dial has been modified to fit the Landeron movement.

Dang, would have been interested in both of those watches separately!

The subdial holes are a bit of a giveaway, clearly enlarged and the 3 o'clock one looks off centre.

SOLD! Some poor _____ paid $3900.00 for a fake Patek with a Landeron movement. He outbid 48 other bidders on this auction. I reported it to eBay 3 times - they could care less - they want their cut.

Forgive me for saying it, but those pictures are good enough for anyone with eyes in their head to see it's no PP. Whoever just paid $3900...
well, I can't bring myself to say they deserve it, because no one does, but they just paid for a very expensive lesson.

I agree. No one deserves that. Can't EBay contact the winner? Surely it is in Ebays best interest to raise the matter, their cut to one side. They should charge the seller the loss they have made on not getting their cut as part punishment for trying this one on.
