Hi all, You must have seen this odd 2913 that looked like an amazing deal go for about 2k yesterday: http://www.ebay.com/itm/161972826045?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:ITPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network When I first stumbled upon it, I got really excited, but after careful consideration I decided to pass on it: - the caseback is very suspicious. It references 2914, but that is a rail master reference. The engraving does say "Seamaster" on the back, so I don't know what to think. The only 2914 casebacks I know of with seamaster engraving are the PAF Railmasters - Handset is definitely wrong - Dial looks funny. So, is this a case of an awesome deal that just needed a new set of hands, or is this a complete franken?
Lemon of the year would be more accurate Besides the FAKE caseback and hands, it is redialed, wrong bracelet, crown, bezel inlay - yeah well...movement could be ok
I took one look at it and closed the browser window. Wrong hands (besides the ugly seconds hand, the minute hand is a complete fake IMO), and the caseback should have had the "Certified High-Pressure Waterproof" inscription around Seamaster, no? Nevermind the 2914-2 reference. All in all this one was a complete dog, and whoever paid 2k got ripped off.
