Normally I’m quick to jump on these deals. Even a beat up one but this one seemed off.

No serial number on the case (corner). No divers extension.

Am I wrong ?

Movement is very clearly fake. Look at the balance spring attachment😀

My eye is not the most trained but it just seemed wrong. Glad I walked away.

Yeah, the details on the plates are way too sharp. The details on the wheel should be much softer

8800 is not a double barrel movement. Walk away.

1 - balance is wrong

2 - too many barrels

3 - no pivots in the jewels

This is an assembly slapped on top of a cheap movement.

This is a clear and obvious fake.
