    Wrong dial wrong lollipop, hippocampus completely gone from case back. Numbers on the movement look unusual, hands are incorrect and some bits of the movement are incorrect.

    Saw that and thought it looked good. Will be interesting to see what it goes for.

    The owner tried to shift it back in 2012 on WUS too.

    Not to mention the wrong bezel...the scary part is that the seller claimed everything to be authentic or original.

    He's had enough opportunities, given the number of times it's been beaten up on here and elsewhere..
