Have recently purchased a Raymond Weil Model No: 9631 Ladies Parasifal watch for my partner, from a not so reputable shop (ca** Cons.) As you will know, this watch has standard Roman Numerals on the watch face. However,the numeral X11 (12) is shown as 11X on the watch. Raymond Weil mistake or fake?

Thanks
Morka

It is a very valuable mis-print - probably worth a couple hundred thousand. Hang on to it, dial mistakes are very very rare, especially on a brand like Raymond Weil.

No, just kidding. It's likely a Chinese fake.

I live in hope!!! It's not new a new watch, I'm trying to upload a picture with some difficulty.

Just see if you can attach it at the bottom of the post (manage attachments button). I'm not too proficient in RW's, but I'm sure some of the guys here are. But likely, it's a fake, hate to say it.

There is the inverted 6 on the 16520 Daytona sub dial .. you have the inverted 12 on the the R.Weil

Not familiar with the model, but your 6 is also inverted.... I think that's a booger you got there.... Sorry mate.

morka · 18 April 2011, 02:08 AM

If you look at other ones, pictures of the same model the six is usually inverted on this model. I think!!! This is way I'm sooo confused.

Rolex116520 · 18 April 2011, 02:12 AM

How much did you pay for that ? You bought this for your partner .. hmm trying to build a long lasting relation or is this just a fling ??

6 I can believe, but 12 - never seen.... Probably just a fling

This is how it is supposed to look

I searched everywhere for a picture of the Model. Where did you get the picture from?

Link Please!

Didn't pay too much for it. However, have a 60 day warranty for the item. Me thinks, a telephone call to Consumer Direct is in order.
