Pick this watch up on this auction site Grailzee.com or whatever, it's called and supposedly authenticated by a watch house in palm beach. Watch runs excellent as though i'm not an expert..I think the dial is okay.But just wondering everyone's thoughts.I really paid very little for the watch which I was surprised although there is a fee with the auction house of two hundred and fifty dollars, so I probably broke even. Don't have a picture of the movement as yet.I'll post it later once I open the watch

Top of the case seems like it might have gotten a mediocre brushing job based on the texturing, but otherwise it looks about right. Crown, Dial and hands are authentic and I match.

Looks fine to me. I would get it serviced if you will wear it daily.

That mesh bracelet looks brand new. Is that the same "stainless bracelet" mentioned in the certificate, or did it come with a different one?

Looks fine. A $250 fee on an entry-level watch is brutal. Most places charge a percentage.

agree! in total, I paid five hundred and fifty dollars, which isn't too bad.I'm not sure what it's worth.

The caliber 565 date change mechanism is my favourite. You're going to have a lot of fun with that, congrats!

That’s in the right ballpark.
