I believe they are asking fir the movement.. meaning whats inside. You have to have it opened and take a picture of the “movement”

I'm about to make the rounds to a couple of jewelry stores. I would appreciate any sincere not snarky advice before I leave in the next 20 minutes.

Thanks again.

OK you need a tool that I don't have to see the backside (pun intended) hopefully one of the dealers will crack open the watch.

bobroberts · 2 February 2018, 03:42 AM

OK....didn't want to put too much number info out since it would give counterfeiters a number to use..mine is f25xxxx

supposedly F series between 2003-2005 looked like this...

https://www.bobswatches.com/pre-owne...num-16622.html

pay attention to the colours and how the lettering is lined up...looks the same to me.

EDIT: I'm gonna leave pretty soon so will find out. hoping for the best.Seems to have been made in 2004 so need to compare similar rather than being shunted to looking at 2009+/11622s are there are some manufacturing variances and whatnot. well...I'm off...wish me luck!

You've posted 28 times and gotten similar responses across the board.

Some are very skeptical that it is authentic based on the pictures and others have said go to watchmaker.

I'd recommend finding one, going, and not thinking about until then.

You mentioned you purchased on a CC - get a report stating it is a fake, and ask for a refund. If the refund isn't issued instantly, dispute the charge and you should be okay.

Good advice, I’m also deleting the other thread, we don’t need two of these going on.

Easily one of the funniest posts I have ever seen on this forum.

NKflyer · 2 February 2018, 06:04 AM

100% FAKE. There are many things wrong that are easy to tell for those who know what they're looking at. I wouldn't waste another minute delaying the return or starting the credit card dispute.

Onikage · 2 February 2018, 06:05 AM

As a pre-owned buyer I'm not ashamed to admit I keep up to date with what the fake factories are churning out. From the pics your bezel in particular the easiest tell is textbook fake factory (Which I won't name). Sorry.

Trazor · 2 February 2018, 06:08 AM

Don't you just love the fact that people with fake watches, are also incapable of taking a picture square on to the dial.

Bigblu10 · 2 February 2018, 06:09 AM

Apparently OP is at an AD getting the watch authenticated. I already called it fugazi.

Seriously, you can tell it's fake without even looking at the dial or bezel lol!

I'll admit, when Mon asked for a picture of the movement and he posted this, I almost spit my drink all over my computer.

With that being said, clearly he isn't a WIS and certainly is loaded with anxiety. He was obviously taken, prob for something around $5-$6k when he thought he was getting a deal. If it was a wire scam, I wouldn't say anything outside of my typical advice, you need to do your DD. In this case, he did put it on his CC, so outside of aggravation, he should be okay.

Hopefully, also a lesson learned for the OP and anyone else buying from a shady source.

Just educating the noobs. The ones who actually want a Rolex and not a watch box full of this garbage.

Typically, I lean towards most of these just being people checking how good their fakes are.

I felt the anxiety coming out of his posts though, he was taken, I feel bad for him and hope it works out.

Source nor price paid were not mentioned. He is in denial the watch is fake. I feel for him, but if you are coming here to the forum seeking authentication, you must be prepared to hear the truth and sometimes that's a hard pill to swallow.

Not sure. If he paid with CC he must have purchased it from a merchant, or through PP. The CC/PP will make sure he doesn't get stiffed. Now if he paid bank wire, that would explain the desperate tone.

socalwatchcollector · 2 February 2018, 06:43 AM

Give the guy a break.. Not everyone is a watch expert for crying out loud.. The member is genuinely concerned he bought a fake so the last thing we should do is make it worse on him. Educate him rather than throwing more logs on the damn fire.

To OP. As MonBK stated. The movement will tell you all you need to know. Now what that won't tell you is if aftermarket parts have been used on the watch. That will take further investigation.

Movement examination is a moot point. Just a visual inspection of the case, dial and bezel will show the watch is a blatant fake. Not even close.

WS9D · 2 February 2018, 07:59 AM

If it’s an older model with no rehalt engraving, it should not have the blue lume as you described in post #8

pwrslider · 2 February 2018, 09:21 AM

Did OP ever come back with his results??

He's around somewhere. His course of action should have been reimbursement ASAP. Sorry guys but a lot of posts here have been more hindrance than help. The YM heads should have got to him sooner.. Myself included. Fingers crossed for the guy.

John DSSD · 2 February 2018, 09:36 AM

He was last online here 3mins ago

nofxatallorelse · 2 February 2018, 09:53 AM

To me it just seems as though he was trying to see if we would notice it was fake, before he wears it out on a date.

All his posts are from within a few minutes this morning. He hits a number of random topics—all non-watch related. He gets to 10 posts then heads over here and all of a sudden he’s got this sense of urgency about his watch.

Also, he used “colours” instead of “colors” but claims to be an American living in NYC who thinks Miller Lite is the best beer ever.

Then he lurks back here and doesn’t provide an update.

He could be telling the truth...
