Hi Gang,
Just been browsing the bay and found a guy from spain selling a panerai watch,looking at the papers he has got with it ,the chrono card he has,has got no numbers on it at all,surely if this is a gen watch it would have or am i wrong, he started it off at 1c and now its on £2.5k !!!!! he also has a hublot watch i suspect this is crap too!!!!

Go to ebay.co.uk item number :270399800773, can`t post the link it aint working

Most people are automatically going to say it's fake here. Ask him to provide proof of purchase. or to meet up at an AD. Only way to be sure.

He also claims it's an automatic, yet is has a transparent back... here's it's plainly evident it's not auto & looking at the movement it looks like a fake.. I'm no expert though - just a beginner finding his feet!! Edit - scratch that about the movement, just looked at a bigger pic & now not so sure - maybe he just doesn't know what he's talking about... like me :shock:

Watcheden's one is better, as it has the same serial number... :mrgreen:

pic.php


@Fakey : seller won't supply any proof, as it's of course a gift...


Man, look at that outer box : the typical chinese pattern. I have never received a good quality outerbox. And that wrap paper...
This seller is an idiot, as if he had a bit of knowledge, he could make the thing look much better and much more real.

Has anyone seen his other sales ? His ridiculous Hublot confirms his PAM is fake... (besides, he's mixing fake and "gen"? pics)
Black Ceramic Sandwich Dial
:twisted:

Who will buy from him ? Because I will !!!!

God this guy is gonna make a killing for a fake watch,his hublot he`s selling looks like a cheap £40 job to me,he also sold a tag heuer the other day for £1500 plus,i know for sure it`s a fake my brother has the same watch :roll: !!!!!

I shopped him to ebay and got the usual "we will look into it"

i suggest somemore people shop him to ebay and maybe they will take notice

GBP 6100 .. a nice boost in the closing seconds of the auction.

Who'd pay that much to someone with only 13 feedbacks?
When you look into those feedbacks, he's sold a couple of used cars ... the last to a now unregistered user ?? Also the private auction method lends itself to shady dealing.

As they say in the classics
A sucker and his money .... were lucky to get together in the first place.

Seems that Ebay has now removed the original item and the Hublot. Does anyone remember the seller's ID?

Looks like they have deleted his dubious watches including the one that "sold" yesterday. His other stuff is still there.

When a seller has been obviously passing counterfeit for the genuine item, his account should be closed immediately, whatever his excuses are.
Ebay won't do that. Their communication about fakes is hypocrisy.

Yep, they canned me in under a hour because I described a strap as 'Panerai style' :cry:
