Date mag looks terrible.....

SaddleSC · 29 March 2012, 07:19 AM

The magnification on that cyclops doesn't look quite right...

Agreed. But could be the angle maybe

FNFZ4 · 29 March 2012, 07:22 AM

Yup happened to me. Its the angel i guess.

murphy j · 29 March 2012, 07:22 AM

Definately looks dodgy, but could it be camera angle?

RyanJames · 29 March 2012, 07:24 AM

Seriously over polished lugs too by the look of it..

Springbars poking out all over.

T-Rip · 29 March 2012, 07:27 AM

That looks terrible...

britincali · 29 March 2012, 07:30 AM

I like the "Near mint" description, its been hammered on a polisher multiple times then worn and scratched and dinged up then had the PVD coating done over the scratches lol

mrbill2mrbill2 · 29 March 2012, 07:32 AM

I don't believe it's the angle. The date window doesn't come close to filling the cyclops.

mrbill2mrbill2 · 29 March 2012, 07:35 AM

Look at the right side lugs - the spring bars protrude.

Tony-GB · 29 March 2012, 07:40 AM

I suppose the old saying "buy the seller" comes to mind...

I agree. Also, that cyclops looks totally wrong to me. That watch is an abomination, IMHO. As a truly wonderful community, I think we all need to "watch out" for each other (all puns intended). Since the piece looks suspicious, perhaps the Mods may want to make further inquiry to ensure safety and authenticity for everyone.

nch209 · 29 March 2012, 08:34 AM

hmmmmmmmmmmmmm... odd looking!

Rollie2011 · 29 March 2012, 08:47 AM

Agreed, looks fugazi

GradyPhilpott · 29 March 2012, 08:48 AM

There are several little things wrong.

The date magnification is just wrong and no angle would improve it.

I'm not as down on PVD as some people, but this watch looks worthless to me.

sierra11b · 29 March 2012, 09:01 AM

Waaaayyy too high of price. You could get a like new one for that price and PVD it yourself if you wanted.

77T · 29 March 2012, 12:31 PM

Saw this type of poor cyclops on another watch in a different post in "Watch Out". Could it be a poor aftermarket replacement crystal on a true Expl.II?

britincali · 29 March 2012, 12:36 PM

^^ Thats what I think it is, he should disclose that and not call it "mint" tho.......

pandrew6l · 29 March 2012, 12:51 PM

Finally after 5 months, I see a TRF for sale watch being questioned. Thank you guys from a new member.

J. Alan · 29 March 2012, 05:53 PM

Agree with all the posts concerning this watch. There are to many gray areas and without proper disclosure by the seller in his ad concerning the questions raised, the Mods should PM him and ask him to voluntarily remove it.

bondtoys · 29 March 2012, 07:00 PM

Have you seen that huge bracelet link , the last one from 12'' before the bracelet enters the clasp?

Not sure I understand your post.

All watches on the Forum are scrutinised by our members.

Why would we question genuine watches?

Have you seen some for sale on the Forum that you thought were fake and did you question them?

dalip · 29 March 2012, 08:00 PM

The thread has been removed and the seller sent a PM.

mcjp6 · 29 March 2012, 08:02 PM

Well something is not right, as that thread has been removed.

If counterfeit then thanks to the mods.

Andad · 29 March 2012, 08:17 PM

I reported this thread earlier as I didn't know if earlier posters had done so.

Things seemed to move very quickly - thanks to the mods.
