Hello
I have the opportunity to buy this SS piepan from a dealer in Vietnam.
He was able to give me some references good enough to consider the deal.
But because counterfeits and Frankens are aplenty in south east Asian region, I wanted to run it by you guys.

Case is authentic right?
The asking price is $1900 excluding shipping and customs.
I have seen else were ( but more reliable platform) just the watch head(same model and similar condition) listed for similar amount.
Do you guys see any red flags?

One more pic
Also dealer says the watch was just serviced.
Is it a sensible deal for $1900?

The second "O" in CHRONOMETER is really wonky and I don't like the alignment of the star with the Constellation.

That said, if you are only asking about the bracelet, it looks legit to me.

Five row BOR would not be correct for a dog leg Constellation although the bracelet itself looks OK.

The bracelet looks legit to me also, but as X350 XJR says, it's incorrect for this reference. I'm not that impressed with the case. It's definitely been polished and the lugs are softer than I would like. Just my personal preference, but I'd hold out for a no date pie pan in better condition.

The "wonky O" was discussed a few times before and as far as I remember the consensus was that's it's still legit, but personally it would bug me aesthetically and I would never buy one with such an O.

I didn't even notice that. Thank you for pointing it out. Can't unsee it once noticed.

Yeah definitely will be a bother once noticed even if it's legit.

Damage to crystal at 7 o'clock. Shame as it is a signed one.

What would be the correct bracelet for one of these?
