Brand new to the boards and still have a lot to learn about watches, but the term "frankenwatch" used by the OP makes me think this one is pieced together.
Looking forward to learning about this one peace hooves- |

I really can't find anything wrong either. So many quick to respond "experts" really quick to yell fake, but never will never follow up when asked.
This is becoming a regular trend in this section. ![]() -Eddie

I think most people who see a nipple dial for the first time think something is off, they are not the usual GMT recipe. Personally I do not really like the look, so based on my first reaction to it, I can see why people who are not aware of this type of dial could think it looks bad and call fake.
But they should have the decency to respond and say why they think its a duffer.

Nothing wrong with that watch other than the very low serial number. I am not sure what year the TT 1675 was launched but other than that everything seems fine.

Emailed the seller. The bezel insert is wrong, probably aftermarket. Looks like the bracelet has been through the garbage disposal and the ebay description is identical to this description for a different watch on a different website.
http://moonwatchtimepieces.com/Site/...p?watch_id=533 Thats why I feel its off. I guess the OP filled you in. Can you guys please lay off now ![]() |
