This is on eBay now. It is not a Longines. Looks to be a generic triple date that someone has modified by printing Longines on the dial, and engraving Longines on the movement.

Not even a nice Venus or Valljoux movement.

Really generic.

It is amazing to me - the efforts that people will go through to fake.

Agreed. Is it just big crime-y belly laughs for them all day long? I’d love for someone here to interview a watch scammer - what’s their day like?

Oh, It would be a fun movement to play with. For around 35 bucks.

Sad thing, Is this is a nice generic. Gives a bad rep to what would be a decent watch.

For posterity, the watch sold for $1524.00 USD with 50 bids. Quite a strong result given that the watch is not actually a Longines.

That's insane.

In so many levels. Maybe a thread of “redials and fake Longines on ebay” can be useful?

Lots of zero bidders and a “private” winner? Someone shilled the hell out of this listing.

We’ll see this again.
