LV Tambour XL Diver

Recommended Posts

Ollifl

I received two watches in special circumstances and before putting them up for auction this weekend I need to find out if the Luis Vuitton Tambour is Gen or a fake. If there's any outside tells I would appreciate the input, I don't want to open the watch at this point since those screws are so small I might loose one and then, no auction this weekend.

 

If there's any other angles of photos you want me to post, let me know and I'll add them right away.

 

Watch is not for sale online but at a private auction held in West Palm Beach, Florida.

 

 

- Case diametre 44 mm

 

- Steel case, brown dial

 

- TT Flexible steel bracelet with three rows of satin and polished links

 

- Automatic movement

 

- Diving function: unidirectional turning flange with diving time indicator

 

- Watertight to 300 meters

 

- Sapphire glass

 

- Hands and indexes luminescent in the dark

 

- Date at 3 o'clock with magnifying glass

Frankly I don't know much about LV watch, the only fake I've seen were of poor quality, and I know someone who has a gen that never impressed me either. Nevertheless, this looks like a gen too me, especially that lume shot, finding lume like that on this type of dial in reps is very rare...

Thank you, just what I expected, the lume was the fact that convinced me in the beginning also.

I will buy it, shame on me ? :) luis vuiton, but hey it is diver watch :)

 

 

BTW If he will put exposure for 30 seconds, every lumed watch would look like it is from hell, that is why I always use only 1 second exposure.

That would be too funny, but I doubt it. I do have a CC slip, the price and the AD matches but I have no way of verifying that it is for this particular watch.... Don't want to call either, it being an int'l call.

Not an expert photographer but the shutter went off for less than a second, free hand no tri-pod, put the watch in bathroom sink and left the door half open so I could see something. It is bright lume.

Bob as an uncle, there's a thought that will keep me a wake for many nights grabbing for a gun.

 

It has a two tone gold bracelet I took off for the pics and to see if there was any serials, no such luck. To keep it didn't even cross my mind, not my type at all.

I have Norton Internet Security 2011 and no problems

 

I use that link to see if some reps are available or now. I also like the month option to see the newest reps :D

Just Swedish government censorship, they want to keep citizens uninformed of the rep world.
