Hey guys, I found a new scammer... hailing from Shenzhen, China; he is auctioning off "Genuine" Vacheron Constantin Overseas watches, some of the likes of which I have never seen before!


Check out the total LACK of detail on the caseback!

Now this one, is a real trip...not only does he advertise it as a VCO (which it's obviously not), it's also a "quartz"...plus the photos look like they came from several of our trusted dealer's sites, just with a different logo! (FYI it's supposed to be a Malte...but this one is stamped 18K though it's just your everyday average 316L...and that's just ONE of the tells)

And then you have this "VCO" (of course it's not). I don't know where to begin on this one...just tear it apart yourselves, guys...where to start? The case? The exposed 21J POS movement? How about that this guy is trying to market something he knows nothing about?

Just check out the hand placement on this bad boy!

Also stamped 18K, although uses 316L steel...would you trust the 21J chronograph in YOUR watch?

Not a VCO, and with faded Vacheron Constantin print on the leather strap...is VC losing it's touch???
NO! It's just this guy!

All he'll get is a friendly email from Ebay. It will be up the very next minute with a new account.
