I don't know if it's fake or not.

Let me ask this. The guys got 100% feedback and he just decides one day to sell a fake watch? I thought that didn't happen. When I suggested before that reptuable sellers periodically slip fakes in I was flamed.

Maybe he doesn't know it's a fake. And everyone knows ebay isn't the best place to buy gen watches... :?
But: if it has the only one replica serial ever used on th 3717 it is a rep - defenitely

The serial no. def. is fake (it's profiled on King's website!), but the seller possibly received this as a trade.

Oh well, at least the seller guarantees his item, so the buyer won't be out if it is indeed a fake (he claims 100% authenticity guaranteed!)

Check out his date on the date wheel. It looks real and different from the rep offered for sales. Check the number 2 and 5. Just my humble opinion.

simple daywheel-swap. costs about $ 25.

and the watch is now around $ 3000,- :shock:

you know guys... someone out there has to own the real watch with that serial number.... maybe this is the guy? hehehehehehehehehehe.....

but this guy should live somewhere in china and produce some cool watches :wink:

The above 2 examples... again has a different date wheel. I have seen one post somewhere here doing the datewheel switch. But still not the same number look. Could you locate the same datewheel fonts? Sorry, I could not match the serial number...exactly. 6 could be 8 could be 3 could etc.. you know. :lol: Have a nice day you all. :D

I know what you mean on the one numeral... but too much of a coincidence.... and like someone else said, there are other inaccuracies...

As for the datewheel.... you can buy the ETA's from cousins in the uk for like $25

Holy Shyt I just noticed, Those are my pictures. This is the second time some one is using my pictures, A wee bit ago, someone on T.Z used them to sell his 3717 (I had notified the seller there that he is using my pictures, and I will notify him to the admins. http://forums.timezone.com/index.php?t= ... v=&reveal= and now this guy. Thanks guys I don't come often to this side of the forum, But I have notified the buyer that the watch he won might be a fake.
