Complete fake imho. It looks like the planes were filled up with foam 😁

Here is a shocker:

While the SARBs have been discontinued, one can find still find a new Alpinist in the $400 to $550 price range.

I have one of these and it is a fine watch.

I think he added an extra 4

But they forgot the required "Rare" and "Highly Sought After"

Whoops I think they added a zero there.

NEVER buy from them! They sold me a Rolex 1601 with a fake Rolex movement in it.. I had it verified a fake and ended up in a war with them! Overpriced.. you think? I loved the color of the dial.. I knew it was refurbished but didn’t care.. but take a look at the pictures of the movements.. it’s all the same generic picture for each watch of the same caliber. Also operates under another username “montres46”. Buyer beware

::facepalm1:: That just takes the cake.


It would not surprise me to find out that 30% of the high dollar transactions on ebay are money laundering of some sort.

I wonder this about the watch business in general - it seems like a simple way to turn cash into something more saleable.

That's low for one of those, looking at others on the market. They are made by Heuer. Can't speak to the condition of that one as compared to others, but $17,000 is the lowest price I see looking at one currently.

Take a look at this:
