What the heck is this?

This is a ladies 6517 for sale. I've never seen anything like this before.....is that some kind of "cap" over the case?

“What the heck is this?”

A poor fake...

If you found it on eBay, post the link so it can be reported.

The case is not solid. It is sheets of metal that make the case. Wow. Never saw that before

Looks like a 6517 that has been run over by a truck...

Watch is legit, just has had a hard life/polished multiple times.

Its a shadow from the beveled edge. Funny it does create the illusion of being sheet metal.


All work done in the good ol’ U.S. of A.
