Triple fake: case, dial & movement

 

What gives you the idea it is fake? Can you point out the problems? I do see the dial being wonky but would appreciate more info.

 

Take a closer look at center pinion diameter

 

Let point them out:
- The case: Is 2998-5 our famous Pre-Moon Speedy?
- The movement: Let see the different between fake & genuine:

 

That's great..Thanks

 

Very scary.

So where did the fake movement come from? Somebody went to great lengths to modify a movement, not an inexpensive enterprise.

I have a hard time understanding the math that would lead someone to spend much time and some money fabricating this piece for what sort of profit? Obviously, buying any watch without a movement photo is verboten, unless you know the seller very well.

 

Its possible that very poor countries can do this because of cheap labor.

 

$200 profit is a huge windfall in some places. It doesn't take much margin at all to make faking worthwhile.

 

I have to say, this is one of the best and astonishingly nicest fakes I've seen. That movement would have had me bamboozled without comparing it to the original. The dial being pristine is quite rare as well though.

 

With a talent like that, they should come out with their own brand of watches instead of making copies.
