many thanks for brut answers :) :) :)
anyway, I did buy a submariner from the same source that needed a restoration and at the end it was a good deal and i was a happy owner of a sub with a nice story behind it... I was hoping for another story but this one turned to be a joke. :( |

How come you bought from the same source when the first one was fake? Aren't you afraid the sub is also fake?

Well he claimed for the first one that it is real and for the second one also. I was not sure about the second one and that is why I have asked.

second one looks like a fake as well.
You should be more careful with whom you are dealing with. |

movement authentic, but bottom bridge is corroded and the top bridge shows heavy wear from a loose Rotor.
I wouldn't have purchased this watch - no matter for which price

 You definitely shouldn't - I did it and I don't have any regret because I have bought a fantastic watch! :) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
