    Actually, that's not the first time somebody has tried that particular bullshit line. We've seen it once or twice before here.

    I reported it 1-2 hours ago, that it was a copyright infringement.

    It is a creative way to sell a fake...."movie prop", indeed....lol!....
    While on the subject of fake PO's...I've seen some 2500 caliber Planet Oceans with iron anti-magnetic shields between the caseback and movement, similar to a vintage Railmaster or Rolex Milgauss. Is this correct? Does a proper PO 2500 have an antimagnetic shield?

    Likely BS, but not unknown for movie and TV props to be fakes. On the show Castle, Kate Beckett wore her dad's "Speedmaster" but it was a fake. Finally saw a good enough screenshot of it to determine.

    It's may be a fake, but it is possible it was used as a movie prop. It's actually pretty common for fakes/replicas/etc. to be used as props for TV or movies. You see this when celebrities auction stuff they used in movies, you often see fakes in the offerings.

    There's a somewhat popular GQ video of Robert Downey, Jr., showing off his watch collection (some of which he got working on movies). One of his watches is actually a fake Speedmaster

    Doesn’t matter if it was used or not. It’s fake. The only possible exception is if a fake was sold with certificate of authenticity with the movies name.

    Calling something a prop and dodging its realness and not providing proof of use in a movie/tv show is a BS.
