Bargain of the decade? Or obvious fake?

[onesickpuppy]

Gents,

Bid on an A. Lange & Sohne watch on the bay. Crap pics, crap description. Missed it the first time but dropped the seller a message saying that if they got messed about that I'd have it. Have a look and let me know if you think I'll have a potential winner or loser arriving next week!

eBay link.

Umm... Joking right..?

That's 100 quid that could have bought something useful like a tank of fuel.

More like A. Range & Sohne...

Bargain, what could possibly go wrong?

[onesickpuppy]

Well, it's worth a punt with the eBay buyer
protection and all that jazz. If it's fake (yea, I know!) I get a refund. If it's real then...

Well, I'll post some pics when it arrives.

He states 'very heavy', so you should be OK.

I have a Breitling and a Panerie of similar quality, yours for £100 each.

Bloody hell, that's an absolute steal!

Oh, you're actually serious. Then yes, it is a fake; it is not a Lange Tourbillon.

Good luck getting your money back

Amazing photos. I have no idea why the seller didn't take clear pictures of the watch...do you?

Whenever I've sold 'premium' brands on eBay, they also claim that they'll be looking very closely at the item to make sure I'm not trying to sell a fake. Clearly a loads of balls judging by this!

To be crystal clear, this is not an original A.Lange & Sohne.



Nor is it worth £1, let alone £104. Don't waste your time and money with this.

I reckon Dominic doesn't want competition with his bid.

Rumbled!

Well if I was going to try and sell a used watch worth several thousand pounds, I would absolutely follow this seller's model: 3 day auction, blurry pics, line of text, mention that it's "really heavy" then wait for the bids to roll in. And in anticipation of the high value bids, I'd offer postage for a bargain fiver. Good luck with the claim back against ebay/paypal, look forward to your updates on this.

Yea, I know it's going to be a claim - that's not a problem. Guaranteed a paypal refund.

Interested to see what it's actually like though.

So you bought it knowing it's a fake with the full intention of sending it back?

If you want to look at watches to see what they're like, your local high street probably has several shops with watches on display in the window. Just try not to press your face against the glass.

Save yourself the time and hassle of having to send it back, claim a refund and so on. Don't bother, seriously. As soon as you open the parcel, you'll wonder why you bothered....

Sounds like you're a regular buyer !

This probably will win the most embarrassing post of the week !
