    Patek Philippe - eBay

    Thought this was an interesting listing, unsure whether it’s real / fake but at current pricing, could be worth a punt for somebody...

    Strongly believe it to be a fake.

    The photos are rubbish, but certainly no Patek Philippe that I have seen has ever had writing on the casebook like that.

    Ah, the old: “I have no knowledge of this watch all i can tell you is that its movement winding, it came from my late fathers house who collected a complete assortment of vintage/antiques of all kinds”

    I almost took that Baume Mercier on but Automatic on the dial, Autoquartz on the caseback... make your mind up.

    Exactly! Typical faker BS. Presumably a story designed to make the gullible think the seller might not realise the true value.

    The killer is “Dispatched with Royal Mail 2nd Class”!

    Looks like a cleverly worded listing: 'Vintage Patek Philippe Watch Face' indicates to me (at least) that the seller is only indicating that the dial may be authentic & the rest of the watch could be something else.

    He is only selling the watch face. When Patek starts putting “3ATM Water Resist” on their case backs - a “Stainless Steel” no less - I’m leaving.

    Utter junk. eBay is unfortunately littered with these scams. My favourite is the watch 'job lots' which invariably have a dozen unknowns and then hidden-but-actually-really-obvious in the back will be a Rolex clasp poking out or something like that.

    I’ve never had the balls to bid on a watch on eBay - too risky for me and this one smells fishy.
