Hi fellow watch enthusiasts

I'm planning to add to my collection. Had a hulk briefly last year, then returned it. Meanwhile add plus 3-4k l but it never went out of my mind so I want to get another one.
This seller accepted the price I offered for 15.5k€, but the closer I inspect the pics, the more doubtful I get. The rehaut seems to be off and the bezel insert is also acentric.

Any ideas whether there's sth smelly with that watch?

Waiting for replies
Greetings

Top part of the clasp looks off in my opinion. I'd look for something else, even if it's 1k more. 7 years old as well, would rather pay up that 1-2k more now and getting a newer one that you won't need to service so soon.

It looks like it was polished and they did a terrible job cleaning off the polishing compound.

The numerical indicies are filthy. Was it never cleaned????

Only other time I see them looking like that is if the watch is bad.

The bezel is f’ed, where the pearl is looks sunk in. Run

GGGMT · 3 April 2021, 11:08 AM

Looks like somebody drove a truck over the bezel and squashed it down. There are so many of these watches available from key reliable sellers, why r u doing C24?

The pin in the flip lock is either broken or bent

djdm · 3 April 2021, 01:05 PM

Are the protective plastics still attached in places and perhaps that is the reason for the dirty appearance? Without knowing more I would avoid this watch in this condition at this price.

It is 100% a standard noob fake. Indices are clumsy. Also a 2014 116610LV should have a 300 m dial instead of this standard fake 300m dial.

There are reputable sellers here, not saying chrono is not a secured site but why not ask dealers here or members her instead of chrono. It's better trading here than on chrono.

That one has some issues that’ll cost you more than the discount you negotiated.

I would consider using the TRF sellers who can ship internationally instead of that watch.

I also have reason to believe that this one is not authentic.

I suggest you find some other one to buy.

Rick Deckard · 4 April 2021, 12:53 PM

Since you can read German, read this thread.

Looks like the bezel insert is gouged at 10:30. Pass...

freefly · 4 April 2021, 03:35 PM

No good. Hard pass.

I would never buy anything from chrono24.
