This Datejust on the Bay doesn't look to good...

Fake box and the dial looks pretty suspicious:

Don't know if this one has been posted here already but anyway...

All ready reported. It wouldn't surprise me that it's an ETA movement inside.

But, Vincent, he took it to a jeweler and got it authenticated!

Seriously, I'm surprised everything is spelled correctly on that miserable dial.

Redial with a worthless box. Rest looks pretty average, sharp bezel, newish crown which can indicate a service at some point, stalwart old 72 jubilee which is short on links but looks ok. It's seen a polish wheel a time or two but it has a starting price of 1499US.

I think the seller is dealing through ignorance rather than chicanery, I'd buy it today for 1499.00. I have a gorgeous black dial (on the right) just waiting for a home. :)

looks like that dial was painted by hand with white out!
