·Hi there. I purchased this recently as I loved the exposed workings in it. Being completely new to watches, I did a bit of Google search to see if I'd found a little gem. I found two identical watches on etsy, adver
tised as genuine vintage fob watches and got excited to see this was supposedly a genuine vintage piece. On further investigation here, it appears this is fake. I bought this in commemoration of my beloved Dad who passed away some time ago. I have been searching for something "special" to remember him by so the price is kind of irrelevant but I'm sad to think that it is fake as I wanted something unique to remember my Dad by. I would just like confirmation that it is indeed fake. My intention was to get it fixed and attach a chain and clasp that i could get my Dad's name engraved on. I only paid $40 for it but it rips my knickers that the seller sold it to me as a genuine vintage piece that was owned by his grandfather, as I told him my intentions of buying it in memory of Dad and I was so excited to have found that something special i have been searching for, for so long. Apologies for the crappy video and photos, it was difficult to photograph it on my phone with nobody to hold it for me. I wound it up and it goes but only for a few seconds before stopping. Anyway, I would appreciate confirmation that it is indeed a cheap Chinese knock of and not that special piece that I wanted. Many thanks for your thoughts. Beau.
Ps: apologies for the long rant, I could have justed asked "is this fake?" but as you might have guessed I'm rather peeved that my hunt for that special piece for my Dad wasn't special at all.
