Day-Date Real bracelet? Real thing?
Hi!
My friend got a vid of a watch coming for sale. So sorry about no better pics, but until we get more info he asked me to check around.. What do you think ? Real? Fake? I just reacted to that the bracelets fitting into the actual horns looks weird. As in over constructed or something. Its just not as smooth.. Makes me wonder if the actual bracelet is made somewhere else? I have heard all about south american bracelets etc.. Help a first time buyer out please :) Thanks so much for the awesome forum. |

Ok so I think the whole watch is pre 99? and then they changed it for a new bezel with diamonds..
They tried to polish up the top side of the horns so it looks like a 118238 from 2000+ which its not. Correct me if i am wrong, as i dont like to accuse people but this is not factory combo. |

It's not a South American band firstly. Second you need pics of the inside of the endlinks and the clasp, could be aftermarket or fake, btw Taft dial is suspect too, need better pics

The response i got so far is that YES its old..
The clasp does look like the version PRIOR to 118238. The dial, i believe has been switched out for new, as the arrowmarkers are also lum on, which is not the case with the newer ones. Again, i am speculating, i dont know as i am no expert :) Thats why any kind of input is greatly appreciated! thanks for all the help so far! |

Wrong dial for the period of the watch. Endings don't fit the lugs correctly imo.
