If it is in an auction house and listed as a JLC then it should be real and if not then you should get your money back if you bought it , if however it is listed as a "Gents stainless steel watch " or similar then it will be a fake and the auction house know it is and haven't listed it as real.

Also there will be a clue in the estimate

The other thing to bear in mind if it is listed as a JLC in the auction - and the estimate seems low - is that low estimates are often a "come hither" gesture by the auction house. I saw a 1940s Seamaster with an estimate of £200-£300 go for £3,200 recently...

Hi geo, did they only do this model in gold?

The gold watch is a Master Perpetual Triple Date and costs over £10,000. I don't know the answer to your second question.

As I said before study the finest detail and you will see quite a few differences compared to the one you are asking about.

      You could try the "tapping method". Don't put any pressure on the bridge and just tap the side of the movement holder until the pivots find their place. It often works. If there is some kind of click mechanism putting pressure on one of the wheels (like the 8200 has if I remember right), use a bit of rodico to keep the click "open" and remove it later.

      Good news is that the arbour is very hard and the screws are much softer material, so drilling out is a viable option Unfortunately we can't do the alum trick.

      AS 2063 Setting lever puzzle

      By Gruden · Posted

      Hello,   Yes, I'm up against the same dilemma on the AS 2063. I replaced the setting lever spring (which includes gears for actuating the quick-set and winding the mainspring) but have not been able to achieve that "third position" for adjusting the time. The original (broken) setting lever spring does not reveal any modifications. The force required to pull on the crown is formidable; does not seem to be correct. I've added grease without any change in the performance.  Help!   John

      Thanks Ross, yes i remember the broken arbor screw you had to deal with. Dont give up, if i can drill a tiny hole in a bloody hard barrel arbor without breaking the drill bit then you'll get that screw out one day somehow .

      Identifying watch for possible radioactive concern

      By Geotex · Posted

      Isn't it most correct to say that the mixture of radium decay pathway compounds found in old lume will produce both alpha and beta particle radiation as well as gamma rays, so it's over-simplistic to dismiss it all as low-energy particle emission? True, a cheap geiger counter chirping away with a raw CPM count won't specifically give you the relevant biological dose, but it makes it easy to tell the difference between your local background, a watch with a bit of activity, and one that is comparatively quite active. Each person can make their own risk analysis based on their understanding and concern, but there's nothing wrong with using an inexpensive meter to help make the determination.
