Sometimes I really wonder what people are thinking: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2742609564...=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

Redial, wrong hands, non original caseback and that for USD 5k

Someone has a dial and hands. Not the first time I’ve seen a parts watch go this high. Particularly for low production pieces.

With only 1 bid it was probably a shill

This is a very interesting one(-off). Late case (to have a numbered movement) and a movement number which I would have expected 400k earlier. True one-off I think

Very nice - all matching - Uweco 22407. But what about the dial. Is it correct or a redial? https://www.antiquewatch-carese.com/mens-watch/OTHER/mt8953.html

I would guess its legit. I dont know Uweco at all but the dial reflective of rest of watch- very well preserved for age.

This is a nice example of a movement transplant: https://www.lux-auction.com/lot/112435/16578677?sort=num&

Serial: 793.312 and ref 12445 suggests a 155k movement (and a 386) but in this case it is a 180k 285. Comparable: https://www.chrono24.nl/universalge...ef-12445-18k-chronograph-1941--id19169508.htm

For posterity ….Why is this a fake?

Without giving too many tips to the manufacturers... One of the clear signs is the poor quality finish and metal used.
The same buckle was sold to the current seller from Italy a few weeks ago:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/324849170527

In general, the fakes started out being made in northern Italy (and are still being made there), but it started some years ago so they've unfortunately dispersed around the world.
This is the main guy who has been churning them out for the last 5+ years in various forms:

Pretty unique Berthoud on C24: https://www.chrono24.nl/universalge...oud-cal351-small-seconds-5180--id21546588.htm

Unique because non chrono. Reference 5180 and serial 698k (which range houses a lot of Berthouds btw)
