This just popped up on eBay today.
I was wondering about this too. Never seen anything like it. Is it real?

Case back is weird. Font too bold for that "patina." Wrong crown. Missing anything?

It's complete rubbish.
so strange- the cost it would take to forge this must be insignificant vs. the payoff I guess, even though the end price still isn't that much.

After a LONG trip (Maryland-Denton-Hawai-SF-Leipzig-Amsterdam) it is finally here! Left 224105 and right 22409

Heart attack for both the seller and me. I asked him what was going on at Fedex for the delivery in Hawai. He said: Fedex? Hawai? It was delivered last week in Ohio...

This was caused by the brilliant Ebay 'is it real' service.... Seller was not aware he was sending to the authentication service!

In a way a bargain: USD 6.950 for this tri-compax: https://www.ebay.nl/itm/334020023190?ul_noapp=true Weird sequence of pics. Pushers missing. Seller had no clue


yah I'm sure a lot of us were tracking this. Assuming someone can get pushers and crown, I think it's pretty good price and I suspect the watch is quite nice in person.

Yes, I was following it too, BUT:
- dial "looks" ok but pics are obviously not clear.
- pushers are missing/wrong/very worn out, I think it's not simple to track original pushers for this ref
- crown is wrong
- for sure watch would need a service

given all these insecurities, price looks nice but not so good, imho. If I remember correctly, Hodinkee (that is quite expensive as seller) recently sold a nice one for 9,9k$?
