Raymond Weil FAKE???

Have recently purchased a Raymond Weil Model No: 9631 Ladies Parasifal watch for my partner, from a not so reputable shop (ca** Cons.) As you will know, this watch has standard Roman Numerals on the watch face. However,the numeral X11 (12) is shown as 11X on the watch. Raymond Weil mistake or fake?

Thanks
Morka

It is a very valuable mis-print - probably worth a couple hundred thousand. Hang on to it, dial mistakes are very very rare, especially on a brand like Raymond Weil.





No, just kidding. It's likely a Chinese fake.

Just see if you can attach it at the bottom of the post (manage attachments button). I'm not too proficient in RW's, but I'm sure some of the guys here are. But likely, it's a fake, hate to say it.

6 I can believe, but 12 - never seen.... Probably just a fling

Didn't pay too much for it. However, have a 60 day warranty for the item. Me thinks, a telephone call to Consumer Direct is in order.
