I have found a picture of a watch that looks interesting, but wristwatches are not my cup of tea, and so I don't know anything about: could you kindly give me some hints ? ![]() | |||

Mario - it resembles a Hebdomas style watch with the exposed balance. I can't make out the name on the dial but it looks to be in very nice condition with the raised markers. Those loose "rings" appear to be a border for the balance opening and the calendar. If you turn the large one on its side, it looks like it would fit over the balance. | |||

Sure, Mary Ann, after you said it I have seen it clearly, I wasn't able to imagine what those two "springs" could be. Should be an interesting watch, isn't it ? thanks a lot for your help | ||||

Mario - can you tell what the name is on the dial? I hope you get it. It looks to be a very nice wristwatch. | |||
|
should be Glashutte, but I have found no evidence of such a Glashutte | ||||

Mario - I have very little knowledge of Glashutte watches. In my watch guide there are 3 examples shown but they don't resemble this one. As I said, it does look like a nice one. If it runs and has a reasonable price, I say go for it. If you need more info, I will have to defer to the experts. Whatever you do, good luck! | |||

Mary Ann, that's the question : I like it, but I'm afraid it could be a fake, I have found out that Glashutte has an enormous quantity of "replicas" so I actually do not know what to do. I have 5 more hours to consider the situation ... | ||||

Mario My advice. If there are fakes about and you are not acquaited with these watches you are taking a risk with your money now matter how small the cash sum. If it appears to good to be true it probably is. To many people a fake is an utter waste of money especially if you have bought it on the understanding its authentic. Save your money unless you are sure. | ||||

Clive, as far as I have found, there are about 10.000 fakes for a true Glashutte ... I keep on with my PWs where I ... have already bought all the fakes an average collector can gather in a looong life (I'm kidding there aren't so many fakes around, to tell the truth, and the ones I have seem are really ... fake). I'll keep in mind your advice, be sure. Thanks a lot | ||||
