Thought I'd share this with the community. A friend of mine was close in pulling the trigger on this and sent me the link for a second opinion. After just a few seconds, it was obvious the hour hand was incorrect and missing lume on hour markers.

No where in the description did it mention the short comings of the watch, and at ~$10K USD, I expected some level of honesty and transparency.

Buyer be aware!

Happy hunting.

It has chrono-creep too......

 

Yes, that hour hand is way off. The hands look relumed to me as well.

 

Oddly no ones calling out B&S for not knowing better on both the oddly not mentioned hands in the description nor picking up on the Chrono creep. If the Hood and done this it would be the start of a jihad.

 

Frankly, replaced hands wouldn't kill the watch for me but would just be a good place to start the negotiations.

 

None of the short comings of the watch would be a dealbreaker for me. My biggest issue is the misrepresentation of the watch.

Specifically states that it was serviced by their watchmaker, which I find highly unlikely at this point.

I’ll stick to their leather bands from here on out, or even go directly to JPM.
