actaully no it isn't- the orginal model had the word Milgauss at the bottom of the dial but it is the same model number

Looks a nice addition to any collection - shame about the money though...

It states it is a recase. What does this do to the value?

Nothing good as well as the re-finished dial and replacement hands.

it says original re-case,that means not original!!
it has refinished dial
the bezel insert is most certainly not original.
if you look in the dictionary under frankenstein there is a picture of this thing next to it!!

Here is my report to my E-Bay contact:

Dear *******:

This is the same member that I referred to you about the Paul Newman dial. He lists a lot of positive feedback around him and a bunch of pictures. In the fine print, that you can barely see, he lists all of the stuff that is re-done on the watch which significantly reduces it's value. This one isn't even close to being worth $20,000 as it has the following things re-done:

Stainless steel re-case

refinished black dial with refinished hands

bracelet though does not say it is original so it is probably a reconditioned bracelet that does not even go with the watch. After looking at the bracelet I can say with great certainty that it does not go with this watch as it does not fit correctly.

no box or papers which greatly devalues the watch

This guy is slippery as a greased eel. He needs to be stopped as he is ripping people off greatly.

I am hoping that E-Bay puts a screeching halt to this guy's business practices. I am making it a mission of mine as I hate to see good people get their hard earned money stolen from them.
