Hi guys,

I'm a new member to this great community.
I'm going to buy this watch tomorrow and wanna let you guys review it before i jump into it.
I think it's a 179178 but the price that the owner is offering is so unreal
Please acknowledge me.

MonBK · 29 March 2011, 04:17 AM

Looks fine to me.

moviefreak · 29 March 2011, 04:18 AM

No idea about authenticity... Lets hope it is really a great deal...

MonBK · 29 March 2011, 04:19 AM

What is the "unreal" asking price?

Jason71 · 29 March 2011, 04:20 AM

Looks ok, but take it to have it authenticated if it is such a great deal before you purchase it.

heart82 · 29 March 2011, 04:22 AM

Less than $6000...i wish she can give it away to me for free.

GerardoG · 29 March 2011, 04:22 AM

I apologize, looks ok for a DJ.

Art 1 · 29 March 2011, 04:25 AM

One concern with the 18k watches is the bracelet. There are a number of fakes out there. The head can be good and the bracelet a fake.

MonBK · 29 March 2011, 04:26 AM

It looks like it comes with original papers.

Make sure serial and model #'s match.

Sean.c · 29 March 2011, 04:26 AM

Looks pretty real to me !

GerardoG · 29 March 2011, 04:27 AM

Well, I made a HUGE mistake! This is not a Day-Date, but a Datejust!!!! My points are invalid, I apologize.

The clasp in the picture looks good but need to see a better shot of the scroll and hallmarks.

pawnshopkiller · 29 March 2011, 04:29 AM

This is a plastic crystal watch. Look at it, it's old.

gqllc · 29 March 2011, 04:29 AM

If the price is unreal then I suspect the watch to be unreal to. Very simply put the owner can scrap the watch for Gold prices and do very well IF it is real 18K.So there is zero reason to sell you the watch at an "unreal" price.

Norway · 29 March 2011, 04:30 AM

Hey :)
I'm far from a watch expert, but if there is one thing that I have learnt here on the Forum, listening to others and reading stories, as well as elsewhere in life it is that: If the deal seems too good to be true, then it usually is.

I would definitely get it authenticated before parting with any money, just to be sure.

Good luck"

Unreal has different meaning to different folks.

The OP is watching so it would be nice to know what his/her definition is?

heart82 · 29 March 2011, 04:35 AM

Well...unreal means $5000 she would probably can give it to me...for free

I must be a pessimist as every time I read these threads I think "troll". They ask this question and always seem to take forever to respond. I am sorry but if I was going to ask this kind of question about a 5 figure item I would at least hang out a minute or two to respond to the questions! I know...they could be working..
They always seem to be from someone new (1-2 posts) always about the watch being fake or not and the price is too good to be true...

I thought it looks good too but you know Jeff has been fooled by a few.

Don't worry, keep replying. I'm very new to the forum and one thing I've learned, some people just love to Cry TROLL. Though most on here will try to help.

The case with lug holes paired to a solid link bracelet worries me.

heart82 · 29 March 2011, 05:09 AM

That's about right and approx. the going rate.

heart82 · 29 March 2011, 05:18 AM

So...you guys think the price is about right and the watch looks ok?
I'll go see her tomorrow and have the AD authenticated it before then.
