As I'm trying to educate myself... Enlighten me here.
I'm missing something. Rehaut looks good. Lighting on bracelet
Isn't great, but it's all there. Fonts too. What am I missing?

Hello. To simply put it, the following areas of the watch doesn't look right:

-sapphire crystal and it's "crown" coronet at the six o'clock position, it should not be that big or visible with the angle and shot of that picture
-the movement is not authentic
-the clasp is fake and has incorrect markings
-there is noticeable extra spacing between the bracelet and lug when fitted
-caseback has wrong markings
-the serial number and reference number engravings between the lugs are too deep

If you spend a considerable amount of time here, and have seen and held the real thing, are a true WIS like most members here and are even owners, you just know. No matter how hard they try, the counterfeiters will NEVER make one good enough to get by us. They might dupe an amateur, but never seasoned professionals that are here on TRF. Only time spent educating yourself on the brand will give you the power.

I agree with providing obvious flaws. We all had to learn in the beginning and continue to learn.

These threads make me so angry. Not Trf but the seller trying to sell a fake. Someone will be out 6k from this. I truly wish more severe consequences would occur than just having the item removed.

I messaged the seller. I told him whoever pawned/sold the watch owes him serious money as the watch is fake. I also told him that he should bring the auction down as well as take the watch to a competent watchmaker to confirm. No actions and replies.

I messaged him telling him it was a fake and that he should remove his post.
No response. He's probably trying to rip someone off.

Reported, again.

I probably would have been better served
Not looking on my iPhone at details. Thanks
For the lists though. Lots of red flags to keep
An eye out for.
