Is this fake?

The pips between the number indices.
And after 30+ years the sticker is still mint on the back?

The whole watch in general is super minty. It's probably been sitting in a humidity controlled safety deposit box for sometime, hence the pristine sticker condition.

Just seemed too good to be true. And WAY over priced.

Hmmm tough one but usually if something seems off it more than likely is. Could of hardly been used but maybe stick to reputable dealer.

Well for $30 grand, he can keep it. I paid $8k for mine in 2005. Funny thing is I've got over $1000 in my franken of the same watch!

Looks to be a nice build.

What was your base watch - a Cartel 1655?

Are you at $1000 including the Ming dial? - or will that be extra?

That dial on the movement - is that the original that came on the watch ?

Over $300 in the watch base maybe $340 with shipping
Yuki dial $118, bracelet @$80, bezel @$99, crystal wasn't much. Hands I don't remember? Gen crown & tube to be determined, MQ dial $380. DWO I don't remember. Payment to modder to be determined. I'm probably missing something. But I'm trying to make an indistinguishable rep.
