Too good to be true? Thoughts? 1675

I found this seller online with a complete 1675 from 1978 at a very very attractive price . It even has all of its original box, papers, accesories... What are your thoughts? Chinese production? I got some pics from him.

It gets even weirder.

Almost the same hand held pose, but with a different GMT and date, but i think same background

If the price is too good to be true than I would stick to those words.

The complete set is cobbled together with whatever the guy could source. Too bad he couldn't at least put the correct accessories with the watch. Then, of course, you have a late 1960s dial on a late 1970s watch, etc etc.

Why don't you just buy a decent watch from a decent seller and be done with all this nonsense.

Hello friends, this watch and pictures belonged to me I have sold it last year to a fellow here in NYC.
Here is the link to the listing on my website :
http://classicwatchny.com/watch-coll...aster-ref1675/
The watch was sold for $12000 (I never disclose how much stuff sells for but I believe at least it could shed some life on the situation.
Someone is trying to scam you unfortunately.
Thank you
