Verdict on a Fiddy

[Autobahn]

What do you think about this fellow's claim on Paneristi that his Fiddy is a gen for 15K? No box or papers, and 10K below market value?

Hmmmmm?

Oh definitely a rep. Look at that crystal distortion!!! Also the AR is waaaaaaay too blue. Judging by the bad shaped lugs I think this is a standard DSN.

And obviously the owner is not showing the caseback on purpose because that's the biggest tell. I mean come on, if you REALLY had a fiddy you NEED to show that beautiful movement!!!

that's definitely not kosher.

I dunno, looks OK to me, but I'm not a Fiddy expert. There *is* distortion on the real Fiddys when you look through at an angle (like all of those pics), just not much when looking directly down onto it.

Looks rep to me but im no expert. too blue ar, numerals are too white, no movement shot, and no box or papers smells fishy to me but it sold and someone has either got a real good deal or been scammed 15 large.

hm, it has the kind of distortion a 1950 crystal should have. also the cg is a LOT better than dsn, dsn cg doesn't even get close to locking flush, this one actually sits a tiny bit recessed, but again that would be the easiest of mods. then the thing that says good cg to me, is how wide the piece is where the cg pin sits, from the crown and to the side, that is like 1mm wider than dsn too, and who knows of a great " reg. tm " aftermarket 1950 crown guard dealer?? also, even gen AR is blueish, and thedsn AR is like blue-rash... the most rep like to me is the price. and as you said guys, all the things we don't see is also a bit rep alerting, but the parts I do see, however, look pretty good......

the numbers are a crisp white which is bad but that varies, the crystal is bad but again that varies too, the real indicator would have been a mov shot...

As far as I am concerned, If I was selling a watch that expensive, I would have many more pictures than some crappy cell phone wrist shots. Either use a good camera from every angle or have someone do it for you. I wouldn't want to buy a rep with pics like that!! Seems like something is being hidden!!

There's nothing wrong with it.. just bad pics, and bad camera distortion. Blue AR is because of blue sky and bluish computer screens. I wouldn't buy it without box and papers though.
