[QUOTE=springer;7859368]I've had a couple guys ask me to look at this ebay watch being sold by awadwatches in Miami. I have no idea who they are but the watch has a "cobbled together" set of accessories. If this doesn't bother you, then disregard this thread.

The watch was sold in Spain. It has a USA Bufkor box, wrong booklets (some are stamped USA) an Oyster perpetual hang tag which should be GMT embossed and a Datejust style Jubilee bracelet not a GMT Jubilee.

If you are looking for a GMT 16750 set, I would think one would expect the accessories to be correct - some in this listing are not.

The asking price is $13,595.


You Live and Learn, I had purchased this watch not picking up on the red flags in the accessories. I have learned the UV light check trick for tritium. Photo attached is of this watch and the hands look painted or relumed. You can see small spots of lume shining through.

I returned the watch for a full refund and he paid for shipping. I showed him the pic and watch is still on sale.

Anyone have any other thoughts on what's going on with the hands?
