Hi All,

I purchased #1 few days ago thinking NOS. i could not find anything close to the dial, case, bezel, caseback in vintage pictures across google during my research and given the seller has 100% feedback, I went ahead with my bidding.

1.Vintage LEJOUR large solid stainless steel diver chronograph

After few days browsing thru eBay on NOS watch I stumbled on #2 ( a NOS watch case ) from another seller and I started looking on the internet for an old watch with this same case and could not find one. I went ahead and purchased it so I can compare #1 and #2 under loupe. Even the serial numbers match on both Caseback and engravings across the case.

2. New Old Stock NOS Vintage Watch Chronograph Case Diver Chrono 38mm

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...m/192526913253

Now I see this # 3 watch from the same seller as #1. Except the Caseback and dial everything else is as #1, the case, movement, size, NOS and I can not find anything about this watch on the internet also.

3. Vintage WAKMANN (Brietling) diver chronograph oversized solid stainless steel

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?m...m/232835124762

I think none of them are authentic and never sold in 1960 but sold in 2018. Can you please help me with the authenticity?

Thanks
