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
