    A very valid concern.

    I would not recommend buying any high-end watch over the internet from someone you don't know with only a poor quality picture.

    Is it me, or is this just common sense?

    Yes it's common sense and I would be buying the watch in person. Was asking for insight before I meet with seller and also wanting to do as much homework as I could.

    But hey! thanks for being a smartass about it.

    Well, people usually give us a lot more to go on when asking for help & we also get a lot of inexperienced posters. The more info you can give, the fewer blanks the rest of us have to try to fill in.

    I have never seen such a patek. Reeks of fake to me. Calatrava cross on dial is particularly odorous.

    Patek also typically install a strap that fits the watch correctly as do the owners

    Agree, Guilloche, calatrava cross, fonts all point to fake...

    People are trying to help and their speech may be frank and stark, you're being a little too sensitive.
