Tha hell is going on.

I think i'll setup a website where people can post fakes like this and add explanation why it is so. I have contacts from ebay tech team, so might help them integrate such a service.

If anyone is dumb enough to spend 4k on a watch and not do the research...then they deserve it.

As a noobie...may I ask -

How do you know that this a replica ? Are there significant differences that give that fact away?

I need to learn the 'ins n outs' before I make any purchases...from anyone...including TD's.

As far as I know, the big tell on this piece is the sunken datewheel, caused by the 7750 movement used in these pieces.

 

Compare:

 

Ebay fake on left, gen on right

You can't compare those 2: one is a 3/6/9, the other is 6/9/12. On the 6/9/12 7750 there is no sunken date (neither in gen or in reps!), because the sunken date is caused by the transfer gears added to 7750 to move the subdials from the native 6/9/12 to other locations.

 

Here is the gen:

While no sunken date might not be a synonym of gen, a sunken date is certainly a replica in all cases, isn't it?

 

How do you report these to eBay? I can't find any "report" button...

Oh look, listing ended, no longer available, wonder why?

I'd say that one snuck past them and they are as surprised as anyone.

It's just a log scale on a slide rule. No different than any linear slide rule.

 

The same thing (larger) is the pilots old friend, the E6B circular slide rule. There's a million videos on how to use one for solving just about everything. Google E6B.

 

I still carry one in the jet, as once it's set I can read an infinite number of solutions and can use it one-handed, at arms length.

 

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E6B

 

The area you're interested in is the front of the thing. Go find a Youtube video on them, and find an instruction booklet reprint online. I'm sure there are dozens to choose from.
