Fakes and Franken Watches Currently On The Market

[SteveHarris]

After seeing a real shocker on eBay earlier, I think it'd be great if we could list some of these in one place to help people new to Enicar. Please provide the link and some brief details on what's wrong when posting a new one.

I'll start!

Nothing correct here. Dial is even fake. Looks to be an Interlagos case or similar. I couldn't study it any closer as it was hurting my brain.

I noticed this one as well this morning, Steve.

This should be a good thread. We have a similar themed thread on Gallet watches over at WUS:

Gallet & Co. crosscheck of possible fakes/ frankens

www.watchuseek.com

It's been quite helpful the last couple of years.

There's also a good Excelsior Park thread over there since 2013 for those who may be interested:

In an Instragram post by @hairspringwatches yesterday this "big eye" was discussed.
I don't know how to create a link to the exact post, but it was an interesting discussion!
It went from a newly discovered variation to a modified case.

The first one I posted about is back again with different pics: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/14431915...55-0&campid=5338042427&customid=&toolid=10049

Also listed on C24 for a much lower price. Total fake/franken.

Another one, just offered to a friend at Zurich watch fair. Probably Sherpa Graph Cousins case, like Desoto or Milion, with a Seapearl caseback and a a non Graph movement. Beware!

Saw this in my email feed, but an hour or two later it was gone, hopefully taken down due to a report:

Franken for sure as nothing matches. Dial indices wrong.

Not a fake but a Franken with no movement shot. Case, dial and hands are correct but has wrong bezel, case back and one wrong crown.
