Why would anyone go through such trouble to fake a watch but include a genuine movement?

he has speculated on that before and i believe him

My take is this.... you can sell two watches sourced from one. IE put a fake movement in a real case and put a real movement in a fake case.

Anyone suspicious of a fake case can open it up and have their worries alleviated by a real movement. The real case, why open it at all to see the fake movement?

Thats my theory

buy one at retail you are in at 12,400 USD. sell two for 22k each and you still made a lot of money
