Need help! 16628 or?
They offered hours without documents, but I have a doubt. On gold, copper stains, bezel strange. Tell your opinion of respected connoisseurs. Thank you.
Best regards, Timur |

It may be the pictures, but the gold has a really brassy color

Agree with above posts. Not sure if it's the photos, but the look just seems off. Looks like one of those really crappy plated gold chains. Or possibly someone polished the entire watch with the same wheel/compound. I've seen steel watches that had this done and it gave it that look. Usually some old low grade compound that doesn't really "cut" enough to get rid of the satin.

That watch passes EVERY genuine test "nearly", in every aspect something asks me "are you sure"
I am pretty certain it is OK, but Can you post a photo of the balance wheel? Thanks

Polishing is understandable, facets, slain satin, but why are copper spots ???
Ask for a photograph of the balance wheel. Thank you brothers! |

ok comparing it to my old one id say its legit..... but its either a horrific polishing job including the "brushed" parts that look like they have been done with a angle grinder.... the bezel well thats a mystery piece... its either a poor aftermarket replacement or again very poorly polished and then they have used the same but smaller dodgy angle grinder to get the matt finish in the lower parts
if its all 100% legit then its gonna need some work to take it back to the glory it once was

Tarnish on the gold that's easily removed is pretty normal and looks brassy or even reddish at times add a bad polish job, otherwise looks ok
