DOUBLE RED SEA DWELLER...... OR NOT?Saw this on eBay today:Item 110174704708 It's already over $8k. Any experts here have an opinion as to authenticity? |

I would think it would be difficult to authenticate the watch from a picture. The seller says it has a refinished dial and replacement case. When I hear things like that it tends to make me think of frankenwatches.
Here's a link to the watch for anyone with more indepth knowledge than me. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI....ry0%3D%26fvi%3D1#ebayphotohosting |

If Mike comes along, maybe he can help you out with it. If the seller is in the vintage community, he might even be familiar with them. | ||||

Way bad! :x
The dial is very suspect--"L" is way to far over. Replacement case kills the value (if it's even genuine) The insert is not a replacement--it's aftermarket. |

.. :roll:
A refinished dial and a replacement case.... Isn't that like saying "I refinished the dial and made it a double-red"....And I put it in a Sea Dweller case, so now it's a SD... Why not just "refinish" the dial and put Comex on it....Then it would be worth lots more.... |

They probably couldn't spell "Comex". :lol: :lol: :lol: |
