If I was selling a wacth that rare for that much I would not have a 6 year old take photos of it with a toy camera.

 

[ThumbModds]

You would think for 75,000 that they could at least get some good photos.

WOW One bidder on this.
Crazy.
I wonder if its the real deal?

 

[ThumbModds]

I Would say questionable at best!

Enzo's franken watch vintage projects look better.

 

[rawbarZ7]

He has a boatload of high end watches, but only has feedback from selling $100 motorcycle parts. Kinda sketchy for me. If he hits one of these he can skip out before anyone even knew where to look for him.





...hmmmmm...? :idea:

Questionable at best. Avoid at all costs! It would be at Sotheby's not ebay's auction.

enzo does motorcycles too?

I though the watch from that paricular era that had both Marina Militare and Luminor Panerai text on a dial and small seconds subdial was a prototype, and it came with CG, but than again I could be wrong...what gives ?

This just goes to show how good these reps can get.

Bingo! I'd go to someone like Christies -> their catalogue.

The seller has 18 watches priced from the lowest of $2,100 up to the highest at $203,000.

No prior watch sales and no other watch activity on ebay. Further more the seller only has 7 postive feedback from buyers and they all are from this year, but he has been an ebay member since 2004.


STAY AWAY !!!! ITS A SCAM!!

Look at the this 50th ann. Sub he has listed.............

 

[bigbadbrad]

THE images are a REAL watch, look like they have been done on a flatbed scanner, which is a very cheap way to sell and 80K watch ... even if it isn't a scam, who'd trust this kind of seller?

"Yeah, I tossed your watch in the mail, you should get it soon ... I guess "

So, enzo, looks like a scam :?:

Not the first time he has listed this. It was on a few weeks ago then was withdrawn before the listing ended - I assumed he'd sold it privately - obviously not. It is certainly an Angelus and he is Italian!! I doubt for one moment that it's fake - just not very good with his listings.

@Enzo - nice one for "stealing" that A-240 in Germany the other day from under me, I hear you now want 5 x as much for it!!!

I'm Italian, too - and mine is fake. What does that have to do with it? Maybe that was tongue-in-cheek, though...right? :arrow:

Earlier I accussed OP of rewriting history, well I guess anyone can spread a rumor and make it into gospel.

Just what I was told is all. I was a bit pissed at losing it to you especially as you seem to have all the 240's ever made!!

 

[Perspex Tropic]

Who would buy such A priceless piece of rare Watch history, On account of out-off focus pictures!?
Any serious bidder would demand better Photograps from angles he demanded with A recent news paper Frontpage as backgrounb, At least!

If anyone wan't to get rid off his Fortune..... I can't Delliver A better Replica, Cuase It certainly looks like A genuine, Not sure where he got the scans from, But A rare distinctive watch like this with A aged brown Dial must surely be known by The Vintage Collectors.

I'm Italian, too

No, you're American. There's a difference.

 

[pugwash]

Not sure where he got the scans from

... and for once, the term Scan is used correctly.
