100% counterfeit. It would have the RSM number if genuine, which it does not have because it is fake.

Yeah, wondering....

I've never seen this type of dealer clock at any US ADs I've visited. Who knows? It could be authentic, perhaps produced for some overseas market....

Um, there is NO 24 hour GMT hand...kinda defeats the whole purpose of saying it's a GMT no?

I've seen a similar clock that had a similar bid pattern. It was an Omega "Snoopy Award" clock.

The bidding pattern and bidders look a bit fishy...who sees a bid of around $300 and instantly bids $600+?...that plus one of the bidders has a single bid placed each day for the past 30 days etc....

Wondering if this is legit and whether there's some shill bidding going on too!

There are plenty of previous posts here on TRF detailing these totally counterfeit wall clocks. They originate in Canada and have been around for quite sometime.

There is no chance that it is genuine. Although they are unique, there are obviously buyers for these counterfeit wall clocks, just as there are buyers for counterfeit watches.
