New member. Real or fake question

[wotblake]

Hey guys,

I've been reading this forum a lot. I just made my first purchase. I bought from a member on ebay who has sold a few higher end watches. I called the guy on the phone and he seemed legit. All of his ebay feedback has been positive.

Can you take a look at these item and tell if you think it's real?

ebay item #: 280697495667

Any help would be great!

Thanks guys.

I'm no expert that Carrera looks pretty GEN to me based on the 3Dness of the subdials...

I agree it looks genuine.

PS: @Melswatch - I love your sig! Very nice!

Hey Mate,

Definately A Genuine buy, its the older model. (This is the model that is repped, with the numbers on dial lining up to the hour markers, the newest model released by TH has the numbers on the dial off centered a few degrees)

Easy tells are:

Correct Warranty card and booklets for model
Flush datewheel and 3D subdials, Good "TACHYMETRE" Font
Correct Geneva striping
Serial number is unique from reps.

Good luck with your purchase!

Thanks guys! I got the watch today, I'll post some pics later. I plan to start being active on this forum.

What do you guys think of the price? I thought it was fair. I looked at the watch a few days in NYC Macy's. $3600+tax=$3915 out the door.

I ended up getting it for $1750 - $35 ebay bucks.= $1715. I'm pretty happy!

if its in good condition, that is a decent buy, they usually go for around $1500 up.
