{*PCTeam*} Fake Alert 127 on the bay

[marlin2284]

FAKE ALERT, this 127 is a fake and the papers are the old EL set. I just reported it let see how long it stays up..Wonder who it is, I have a feeling he is lurking around our flora...

It's a V4 on a 6497-2 movement most obvious parts are the SN shape. MM screw, and SN screws, look at the set lever screw it is blue on the gen it is silver in color

Real keen eye you got there I think the slot where the jewel above the "OFFICINE PANERAI FIRENZE" engravings aren't bevelled enough.

Thanks Marlin~
I found set lever screw, but don't surely judge.
It's not easy to me yet.. more need study.

I wonder what serial number this one is. Looks like it was conveniently placed when photographing there. Then there is a 14 day return chosen and then a 7 day return, so I can see that backfiring on anyone trying to make a return on that one.

This is a pretty darn good rep. The seller could be a used dealer that was fooled. That swan neck is pretty bad though. Aside from that, I think you need to be a member here to know the difference

i know you can buy a rep box, but I've never seen a complete rep package for sale. Stickers, papers, ... everything with matching numbers?
He really made an effort to get everything set up.

There is no replica of Limited Edition/1950 boxes

No, but I have seen sets come up for sale, periodically. They are in heavy demand due to XL size.

The box is gen Vaughn is correct the SE box set is not replicated, but the rest looks like EL's old set of papers.

 

[Vaughn]

where do they get those sets of papers?

oh shoot it was sold @ GBP 9000 = $ 15000 priced like a GEN!!! (the first link given!)

 

[Vaughn]

Oh my God, this is so fake (regarding the last link)
The box is a joke. Not even from LE series. I bet the papers are for Luminor Base and bought along with the box for $70
Look at this:

I did yesterday. eBay at their normal speed of getting around to it when they feel like it. Or else want more people to report first.

Plus it says on segment 1 - printing, bridges and screws perfectly finished. Needs to change to FAIL.
