Spot the obvious giggle

And there was me thinking "I don't know enough about watches, I'll never be able to spot what they're giggling at".
Turns out I'm an expert after all

Watch is easy to spot looks like garbage, but interesting to see a low quality rep like this come with Box and papers......

Is that style card not too new for that box?

Edit: looks like the paper behind ends in ER which would be for a sub?

That the new Lawn Master - 2?

Mowlex?

I have a nice 18 carrot pice at home myself

Not claiming it as real, but the fake IWC in the ad is no-no.

Genuine Rolex "Submainer" anyone?

That is a seller that should be banned.....

Have been offered this this morning by a friend of a friend and apart from knowing Sly likes a panerai
Along with a couple of stalwarts from this parish!

I know next to nothing about them and I don't know why, it might be a rough finish on the movement?
Or it may well just be my imagination?
But something I can't actually put my finger on strikes me as off about this.
I added the pics to my imgbb to be sure they are visible.

Anyone any idea on whether this is real?

FAKE AF

Here is a fake one off internet see no jewel between the P.9011 and the serial number

http://www.nanawatch.cn/panerai-pam1033-44mm-blue-dial-blue-leather-strap-p9011-vsf-super-clone-p-649.html

The real P.9001 movement has a jewel there in every case I can find. Some missing brass cogs, screw placements are different and the movement looks small in the case.

The finish is very rough also with uneven striping on the movement. I dont know panerai but well enough to know they are a quality watch.

Thanks for that Fitz.
I had made my mind to not bother with it before your post.
The balance looks completely different too.

That said I am glad that my Spidey sense tingled, because in hand...
It felt the part, well as much as something could feel the part when one has no experience of a real one can guess.

The backside and the finishing are what put me off but like I said, I know nothing about them.

That's a bit of cash better off in my pocket to throw at #AMC later today :pac:

It is a dangerous world out there for buyers!

Better in a fake panerai than AMC thats a dog of a stock, but I have paper hands. :eek:

Make sure to tell your friend its a dud, hopefully save the next fellow.

Well he isn't my friend, rather a friend of one of one.

I'll break the news to him later today, I hope he takes it ok rather than as a price tactic, because let's be honest.
If one wants to buy a Panerai, that's what they want not a fake Panerai at a near real price.

As for AMC, I'm nicely in profit on it and if I get in and around Friday's closing price I'll be happy to let it ride another little bit.

Well I have a few AMC with a BEP of 19 USD...I will give them to you for 18 each if your interested?....FML

Jesus! You need the squeeze Fitz!

My BEP is $9.20!

Is this some kind of code?

I'm not sure who is grooming who, but I'm worried.

Help! I need an adult here.

AMC is a memestock, one of those ones that some on Reddit at least are convinced will explode in price.
Its AMC theatres, huge worldwide cinema chain.

BEP is break even point, its the price a stock needs to reach for you to get out without a loss.

I usually would not go near a meme stock, but the DD on both GME and AMC is weirdly compelling and I may well be falling victim to the madness of the crowd!

But I have a trailing stop loss and its far more fun than college at the moment :P

Spoke with "Panerai" owner and broke the news that I don't think the watch is the real McCoy.
Had a few more movement photos and comparison shots to show him too, just to not seem cúnty about it.

It wasn't well received news, the guy says he has 6k sunk into the watch and that I'm wrong.
Oh well.
I'd rather be wrong than left with a paperweight.

Oh dear.

I can see how that would come as a shock.

I am used my tame horologist saying 'you've not spent well and could have done better for the price if you'd talked to me', but being told something is simply not genuine would hurt.

Still, better he knows from you rather than someone who might be less diplomatic in their communication.

You wouldn’t know whether to laugh or cry!!

I am reminded of a Flat Earth documentary I saw once. Obviously everyone was taking the piss out of the flat earthers, but one professor made the great point that behind every flat earther is a scientist waiting to break through. They ask questions, make predictions and observations its just they come to the wrong conclusions. I am reminded of this here. Obviously somebody that loves collecting and watches but just decided to go down the rep route and got into it balls deep into this crap. Hopefully is selling to get something worthwhile.

But FFS, he surely could have bought a gen or 3 for the money he laid out?
Esp on the tags.

That’s hardly a collector as such though .I would of thought he’s someone selling sh*t for a profit as opposed to someone who has built a collection over time which just happens to be a collection of tat
