Haha in retrospect that should have said if all!

Glad you guys have a better eye than me! Only thing I noticed was that it had taken a beating I've never seen on a patek let alone a 2499.

You have to be so vigilant these days :/

Actually plenty of 2499 took a beating and still sold for record prices. Scratches doesn't really hurt the value if it's a rare watch.

This one went for 2+ million.

Am more embarrassed than anything else, at the time I was able to find very similar dials for sale online and the 'complete package' seemed to tick most of the boxes I was looking for. I am sincerely sorry to everyone for posting the pics before authentication, really was bad form and will update on Monday when I get some closure.

This is already becoming a very long weekend.

Yeah, big thanks indeed.

He was already offering his garbage via PMs but was caught in time.

Guy's, this is what a snake looks like.

Don't be afraid to call out a member if there's something tangible to relate to others.

It's not just mods who can catch these guys out. Just don't throw mud around, keep it specific.

Very bad example, but some good lessons here.
Thanks to the moderators, you have done a great job in handling this case and share the details with us
