Real or Fake

Seen a new website and they show this as a new acquisition?
is it real? I do not know anything about Patek but this seems wrong. Or maybe just dirty? Big money for a cheap strap?

I'm not an expert but the layout of the movement looks right to me. Watch is obviously used but I don't see anything that looks out of place. Strap is easily replaceable.

Yes, that is real, and it's beautiful .. Replace the strap with a brand new factory PP strap and enjoy

So I found another G reference. Is it normal for the movement to have different size imprints/logos? Sorry for being skeptical. Just trying to buy the seller?

Not that I am buying it. But they have other things for sale and claim ridiculous sales numbers. When a quick google shows they have been operational for less than 1 year.

One on the left is PP seal (after 2009), the right with Geneva Seal (before 2009).

And you got it right, buy the seller, not the watch.

I´m not an AC specialist but wasn´t the 5146 also available with the 315 S in the beginning before they switched to the current 324 S movement?

The remark regarding the PP seal and Geneva seal is definitely right, though.
