Alright guys I'm thinking of getting this sub from local deal with fairly reasonable price, all I want to request is from you expects think whether it looks legit and your suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Here's the pics

I'm crap at judging from photos but looks legit to me.

The dial is either a service replacement or a transitional "Swiss" dial from 97/98.

Bezel insert and assembly is defo gen. Clasp is also gen. Case is probably gen but I can't tell.

What direction do the hands turn when the crown is rotated clockwise?

I would say it's legit too. I would do the hand test like mech recommended. That'll give it away for sure!

Hands test hmm could have a yukki lol.but it looks tottaly gen to me aswell

Thanks guys since I'm in different state from where the seller is atm, I can't really judge which way the crown turns , and yes the seller says it's A serial so it's circa 99 and from what cp looks like in the pics it looks gen but hope it's not Yuki like smoke said lol any more other options guys

Basically I have to let this seller know by the end of this week, what would you guys says if the deal is around USD$4500 for this ??

That's a pretty good deal. Looks to be in pretty good condition. Any box or papers? Deff gen btw. Tell him u want a movement shot.

You need to PM Rudy, Jeff or Rob...IMHO.

Good Luck!

This is what i think also.

 

[tom_cat]

Yes it includes box and papers and from the pics the only issues which I can see is the dial is not aligned with the bezel market that's all

And yes I requested a movement shot and he said if I only really decided to buy this he will provide with the movement pics

It is a little wierd that 9:00 market looks to be dead on but the rest look like the bezel needs to be rotated one click. Has to be the photo playing games. Lol

 

[tom_cat]

Yeah that's what he said when I requested the different pic for dial and here's what he sent me, and from this pics looks straight dead on

Look legit to me and damn it's a nice clean unpolished example. Very little wear I'd say. 4.5k sounds a good deal as well.
To be 100% sure take a drive and meet him at the AD to have it checked out.

That watch is 100% gen and like TB says, basically unpolished with original bevels. With B&P, it's a good deal. If it's been serviced recently, that would be a plus also- it is a 15-16 year old watch.

If that's 4.5k AUD buy it before I do 'cause that's a total steal. Not in BNE is it?

its USD4.5k TB99 not AUD, in AUD it would be around 6k
