Alternatively, I considered naming this thread: How to buy a vintage Compur chronograph, install a Medico-Compax dial, and fake a Hermes signature.

Things were going so well until that accent grave.

(Well, not really.)

And in case you had any doubt that it was a fake signature... they added this charming little detail to the caseback:



The faussaire also went a little too thick in the relume job on the minute hand, and a little too thin on the hour hand. Oh, and always remember to resize your subdial hands when transplanting to a smaller dial. Very sloppy.

Such a waste of a beautiful NOS dial and a transitional pusher case. Shame.

Nice detective work

 

Whoa there 15 bids ... so far. Hmm

 

That'd buy a lot of overpriced silk scarves!

 

Its up to $2300 already !

 

I'm ready for Lou to chime in on this one !

 

It looks quite nice though

 

Girth Brooks thinks she's a fake. Lol they stuffed his jeans...

 

<should have known better>. #NSFW

Dear Children,
Don't 'google' Girth Brooks, naively thinking that it's some joke about the country singer, Garth Brooks. It's not. Just think about it for a second.

Sincerely,

Apropos of!!!!!

Lol "Girth Brooks" is the actor Ben Affleck in a regular SNL sketch. It's totally a goof on Garth Brooks (part of it)

in the above sketch ^^^ he was pitching fake Hermes handbags as "Herman's Handbags" and Herpes Handbags" hahaha



remember - i work nights and have a tv in my office.

 

Will this be reported (the fake watch of course, not Girth Brooks)? Would be a shame to see someone spend a fortune on this franken fake.

 

someone out there got ripped off for this, 4,150 final price on eBay....
