Too me the bigger clue is the oddly specific description of the watch in a letter from 71.

Lennon’s Hand writing was pretty varied but I concur it’s BS.

 

Hopefully his Patek will surface one day. Perhaps his son wears it.

 

Well, I don't think for a minute that's it's real. The big giveaway for me is that the letter is clearly written with an entirely different pen to the signature.

The letter has a thicker grey ballpoint ink, the signature is with fine pen that's dark black and very thin.

Even if the signature was real, what often happens is people get an autograph at a concert with a blank piece of paper (whatever they could find at the moment) and then the text could be added to it afterwards. so there may be absolutely no connect between the top and the bottom.

The only way to give some vague credence to this is to trawl old archive images to see if he was ever wearing such a watch, if he wore a watch at all.

I really doubt there is any truth to this.

 

To add - the watch looks very well worn at the rear, as in worn out. So logic tells you he would have worn it a lot.
But trawling through a few hundred images on Google, I have yet to see a shot of him wearing a watch at all, period. That in my mind pretty much says it all. (athough I read he had Patek, gifted from Yoko)

 

This seller cant be serious can he?
A quick google search reveals a lot of confirmed hand written letters from John Lennon.
When comparing this its clearly fake.

 

Rats. I was outbid at $25

 

Maybe he can use the proceeds to buy a keyboard that has a caps-lock key that isn't stuck.

 

Something similar, an Omega watch that allegedly belonged to C.G. Schull:

I have an autographed copy of the bible if anyone is interested. I will let it go for a very reasonable rate.

 

Maybe he was high when he signed it?

 

ask paul and ringgo, they are still alive.

 

It's clearly not Lennon's hand writing.

And the way the watch is described, like an advert, is a dead giveaway.

 

Is it autographed by the father, the son, or the holy ghost?

 

Reported it anyway to protect the gullible and the innocent out there.

 

haha
