Here's the thing for me...
the OP has a consistent MO here on OF (can a single sentence have more abbreviations?).
Post a hype/buzz like title (no harm, many do otherwise what the fυck - maybe no one will read it after all) -- "Finally Got My Grail", "MoonSwatch Movement in A Speedmaster Case" and this latest one.
But this latest one was already a murky swamp of What The fυck from the needle drop ~ he's getting a 3861 but it's gonna be sapphire with a solid caseback, then he more or less disappears with all the confusion and questions from members who know that ain't possible (if it's legit that is)... then the big day comes and the post is a garbled explanation of total horseshit ~ it's now an 1861, seller sent him a closed caseback but with hesalite, yada yada, but he's cool with it (same MO as the jive Rolex/Grail thread ~ and as usual, he's always fine with it). And then the photos... OP, I suspect, put more time into purposefully taking shitty, out of focus, photos - not to mention the crops - than the actual purchase itself.
All to whit I say this (and usually don't say this publicly but)... outside of known assholes and scammers (which usually get the axe speedy quick with our group vigilance and attentive Mods here), new folks who either pop in for "What Do I Have?" type questions & either split or occasionally stay and become regulars, we are a fairly tight knit group... but shit like this irks the piss out of me because it's glib, playing folks off as assholes, stupid childish attention seeking trickery and frankly pure bullshit.
OP either needs to be and admit to being the most naive motherfucker on earth with purchases (which he ain't) or flatout say "Yeah, I buy fakes" (for whatever reason) BUT STOP with the whole posting bullshit and then vaguely answering questions and otherwise going radio silent... it's disingenuous and uncool.
Okay, said my thing -- going back to cologne shopping.
