Long story short, I received this watch from a friend along with a bunch of other items that fell under the terms of 'garbage' 😳
I believe it to be authentic based on the socioeconomic status of my friend, but would still like to get the advice of people that are completely immersed in this world of collecting. I personally collect things like video games, arcades, bmx bikes and skateboards.. so a $40k watch is just a little outside of my wheel house 😂!

I am planning on taking the watch to a local govbergs jeweler to have it serviced, new band, battery, whatever it needs.. because I have no use for this thing and would like to maximize my profits on it. I will take more pictures of it when I get home, but wanted to get this out there and see what y'all could tell me while I'm bored at work lol! I'm also kinda afraid to even take the back off this thing because I don't want to hurt anything... but I also want to know the internal numbers.. thoughts?

You could surely tell from the weight that this was crap.

I think all this needs is a home in the nearest trash receptacle.

Yeah, assault and battery.

GB-man · 20 July 2017, 10:55 PM

unfortunately your friend was a fraud

lapince · 20 July 2017, 11:30 PM

I loved the battery, but also loved the "friend" giving you a 40k watch along with some other crap, quite a natural thing to do, my friends give me 10-50k watches all the time

I have cool and wealthy friends

Sorry dude, might be worth 20-30 bucks maybe 50 if never worn, and even that I'm not sure
