<thread deleted>

 

Well I saw the original post and went to my files to see if i could offer some advice. Found some good pics of my watch that's very similar and a heap more info on these variants.

Now see the post is deleted so I'll keep all of the info for next time.

 

And I keep all of my interest for the next time.

Oh, the anticipa

 

I have new powers! I can see deleted! wohoo!

 

Then at least tell us what watch it was

 

Whatever it was must of been serious to delete the thread.

 

Probably realized he had just advertised it to 5 billion people on the web!

 

reminds me of this gem:

 

Was it a fake watch?

 

Did he edit the thread before deleting? The first time I read it I though he said it was identical to the one in this old WUS FS ad.
He asked if it was a franken - and in a way that one is - the bezel is for a GP yachting. The question as was written was confusing though because he described a typical 007 caseback with 001 crossed out. A Yachting caseback would say 176.010.

 

A wild guess. I have never seen a deleted thread before unless it was doubled up.

 

I enjoy this forum, even deleted questions get answered for the good of the group.

 

Thank you for doing this.

 

I got a good laugh from this one! We'll answer ALL questions! LOL!

 

Lol much appreciated guys - yeah I tried to delete the thread because I realised these are somewhat rare and I just advertised it to the whole community of potential purchasers. Couldn't see any way of actually deleting it so I just wrote 'deleted post'. To a mixture of controversy and amusement all around lol

Anyway, I have attached a few pics of the watch from the advertisement including that strange caseback. It's being sold by Casowatches in Italy. From what I read they are a reputable seller, and they are telling me the watch is entirely original.

But it seems some of you disagree. I would be very interested to know. I don't think the bezel is from a GP yachting - the watch essentially looks identical to the Seamaster Yachting 176.010 to me, just with a different colour dial?

And it looks identical to the one previously on sale in Watchuseek as mentioned above.

The advert from Casowatches can be found here:

Would be grateful for anyone's thoughts on whether it's Franken - and ultimately roughly what it is worth.
