This site above is a 100% counterfeit site. Everything he makes is a fake and marked as a real. I dont think its a good idea to post this site and the mods should delete it.

I take expectation to your characterization of that particular site as I would NEVER knowingly post a fake site.Only when people become aware that such modifications (mixing newly fabricated parts with some authentic parts supplied by the consignee) are being offered will they become educated and perhaps not get sucked in to buying something that is not 100% as left the factory condition. Mixing original with newly fabricated parts needs to be addressed and outed or the Vintage watch market will become ever more murky and suspect as happened in the Vintage car market.Hiding the reality of these modifications that are happening only serves to help those that are selling them after the fact as 100% Authentic, something that site goes to great lengths to disclose they are not doing.That restomod site expressly discloses what they are doing to a watch and what parts are original and what parts are replicated so as to offer for example a $30K for $6k P.N. Daytona as opposed to a $300 Daytona offered on fake sites. What some potentially unscrupulous re-seller does after they acquire a restomod is another matter and has the potential to destroy the integrity of the Vintage watch market. Knowledge is the best defence in my opinion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_restoration
