I must say that if I were brave enough to own this piece there'd be pictures abound.
Have to agree with you, Paul. I don't see all the mystery behind this watch.

Okay, it's a very rare and priceless watch.......but, hell, I always say......if you've got it, flaunt it!!

I'm sorry, I would really love to see the watch! But until you actually show us the pictures, it just seems like your are just pulling our strings Sean.

So sorry to all i have spoken to my lawyer so believe what you want but i know the truth.

Take care and have a great day!
Er, a complete non sequitur there?

The price is about 900.000 euro this is 1.3 million USD

I'm afraid you didn't read deserted's post properly: the man is under legal advice not to show pictures of his 5002P. Sorry, make that "strong" legal advice. I'm sure that the "strong" legal advice will explain the 1999/2002 conundrum.

Thanks JJ

But since a few of you are not convinced yet I did some research

Look at his profile and look at the watch he claims to have

Bruno,
JJ said you know you watches and I believe him. I am not a watch expert so I have to learn from you guys and I think this thread is great for identifying a problem with person who posted it if any.

I'm really struggling to make sense of this...

Maybe one day I too will have enough trusted online and anonymous iFriends to post some stock scans of my watches. Under strong legal advice, I won't show you actual wrist shots, but you'll just have to trust me. I mean, I have to trust you enough even to show stock photos!

I think the person who started this thread on the Patek Sky Moon should put up(the photo of the watch on his wrist for authentic reasons) or shut up and accept a humiliating defeat. Thier is a lot of sharks swimming in this thread and they are looking for the cream filling.

I have sat back and read each and every last post that has been put up on this thread and to tell you the truth i would not believe it either that's just human nature!

I'm going to explain why i would not post the pictures one last time and from here i'm going to leve well enough alone as paul said to keep the peace!


1) I'm not librety to give you information on this timepiece if i choose to do so it will not be on a open forum like this, we just had a guy get scammed here on TRF and after reading some of the post here i'm not to sure if someone may try to do harm to me with the economy being the way it is "please don't hold your breath"

2) it was my mistake to even put a post out here like this with me" being a newbie and all "suddenely your purchasing a watch of this magnitude dosen't sit well with someone who just lost thier job or home or someone who is on the brink of losing both.

Let's face it not to many pepole like myself are very well liked these days!
All that really matters is that i know i own one , and as i stated before i would not believe it either!

And under the advice of my consul i will not be posting pics of the piece.

To all that feel offended , confused and disarrayed i apoligize....

The people who earn enough to buy these ultra complicated , their time is way to expensive and I can't imagine they have enough time to post 500 messages per month ! AND since the Sky moon tourbillon was imo first made in 2002 ... it will be difficult to own a 1999 model ;-)
Not to argue with you, as you're generally right, but as you will recall, "Ludwig" used to post on TZ, as did "Cookie". Also, some of the Singapore/Indonesia/Thailand contingent who (used to) post on Thomas's forum.

I must confess, it was I who sold the Patek to deserted AKA chilvary...

And now having confirmed that his funds have finally cleared, can report that indeed the timepiece is authentic, or at least that is what I was assured when I picked this fantastic timepiece up in a Nigerian market on my infamous worldwide Margarita tour in 2007.

I do not get it first you were going to post pictures of this watch and now you are not. Something is not right. I am not going to post stock photos of a watch and say it mine that is for sure. I have the real thing a Rolex DateJust and Date which is not the cream of the crop but at least they are real.
I just do not get it?
