    Hi All,

    I purchased #1 few days ago thinking NOS.

    1.Vintage LEJOUR large solid stainless steel diver chronograph


    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/232780699948


    After few days I see #2 from another seller and I started looking on the internet for an old watch with this same case and could not find one. I went ahead and purchased it so I can compare them side by side #1 and #2 under loupe. Even the serial numbers match on both Caseback and engravings

    2. New Old Stock NOS Vintage Watch Chronograph Case Diver Chrono 38mm

    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/192526913253


    Now I see this # 3 watch from the same seller. Except the Caseback and dial, the case, movement, size, NOS

    3. Vintage WAKMANN (Brietling) diver chronograph oversized solid stainless steel

    https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/232835124762


    I think none of them are authentic and never sold in 1960 but sold in 2018. Please let me know what you all think.


    Thanks

    1 and 2 are gone. 1 sold for correct money.

    3 is going to go very high.

    Looks like the 3rd one is closed by the seller on eBay. We will not see the price for that anytime soon. 1 and 2 was purchased by me.

    Can someone tell me if I posted in the wrong area? I was hoping that I would get some feedback.

    Be more specific what are your concerns? Helps if you post the pictures so people don’t have to look at multiple pages.

    Thanks for the feedback. My concern is that I can not find anything old about these two watches ( no cases, no movements, no dials ) but I see the same one showed up as NOS without trying much in one month.

    Below are the pics of watch I purchased.

    Pics of the #3 watch on Sale where I started thinking why I am only seeing them as NOS so easily but no reference anywhere
