Is my 5712/1A Real?

There have been some 2019s trading hands at 95k as a point of reference

It looks right to me but exactly this.

Why even mess with people when there is a question?

Nobody needs a deal on a $100k watch, you don’t need the watch in the first place. Not in the market for one of these as I sold mine a long time ago (to DavidSW) so I don’t know what they go for, but I’d just pay the extra and go with a TS if there is a delta and then not worry about it.

With the current market, people don't realize they can potentially park money in equities for 3+ years and buy this watch secondary for free with original principal left over. Prices will trend down (not up) after discontinuation as can be seen with the 5711. Dealers are bending over impatient people at these prices.

From the pictures I cannot tell anything other than it appears to be genuine to me.

I mean I get it, I was trying to figure out what I’d sell or trade for a FPJ I want but full set from a TS not a random where I’d have to wonder what I was getting.

I still think FPJ long term are winners both in terms of enjoying the watch when you’re alive and your estate selling it when you’re dead.

My mistake, apologies, did not realize late model prices have come down that aggressively.
