Just been looking at this on ebay (hope link works)
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VACHERON-CONSTANTINE_W0QQitemZ140301262195QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Jewelery_Watches_Watches_MensWatches_GL?hash=item140301262195&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=66%3A4%7C65%3A10%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318

It's item number 140301262195 in case link doesn't work.

Am I right in thinking the watch is displaying the date as the 33rd??

Regards,

Looks very much like it's Wednesday 33rd! Who was the previous owner, Dr. Who?

A well-known 'feature' of cheap replicas of big date movements, namely their complete failure at managing to replicate it at all...

A friend of mine decided to buy a fake Lange 1 which was awesomely entertaining, you could be a real time lord with that watch at any date from the 00th of the month to the 39th. hehe

Is it *that* hard a complication to copy? After all, the fake industry appear to have managed to replicate Franck Muller's crazy hours complication exactly, though it may be easier (funny shaped cam?)...
