1892 PP SS Wristwatch

http://www.ebay.com/itm/FANTASTIC-PA...91338026655391

Based on everything I've read and heard since I got into watches, this seems incredible.

Anyone have any knowledge of this watch?

Even though it's way bigger than I prefer, it's a beautiful watch.

Patek apparently saw the big watch trend coming from afar.

1) Case is NOT PP and it is not old, case was made.

2) The claim original dial... I HIGHLY doubt this watch is over 100 years old and dial still looks that good.

That watch was originally a pocket watch so PP did not foresee the big watch trend.

I also am VERY skeptical as why wouldn't they show a picture of the movement....

Looks like an RGM style job on the case.

I know nothing of the authenticity, but the movement is shown.

You just have to scroll down one row to see it.
