Hi guys, I am sorry if I do something wrong and take your valuable time, but my mother found in an old box the following Watch :

And she is so bad to take photos, I am 99.9 % sure it's not original but, at least you can tell me what kind of fake it is smile
Thank you in advance.

It is indeed a fake.

It's not even a counterfeit of an actual model that has ever existed.

Thank you. I didn't expect that much creativity in counterfeit business : D No chance of being a limited edition or etc. right ?

Not at all I'm afraid.

Not bad looking but it has no Patek DNA.

 
 By: Geo : August 9th, 2022-12:21
The makers created a completely new model, that looks more like a Chopard than a PP. GEO

Ouch!!!

Even to an untrained eye, the shoddy dial should have been a dead giveaway

No gemstones are ever set that way..It's a glue on job and a very bad one at that . Sorry !

The worst 'fake' I think I've ever seen...

...but just to be sure, we should take a look at the movement and count the interior angles : )

LOL!

 
 By: amanico : August 9th, 2022-20:31

Ha! : )

 
 By: mdg : August 9th, 2022-22:51

LOL! But true!

are you implying C is ugly. oops

 
 By: Gelato Monster : August 10th, 2022-07:23

Is C in place of Chopard?

 
 By: patrick_y : August 10th, 2022-18:03
I mostly like Chopard watches. Great movements. Don't always like the dials, some dials look a bit mis-proportioned to me. Numerals too bold sometimes. But great movements. I'd wear that 1860 Chopard. It's a little small for me, but I still like it!

Same here for me.

I kind feel your thought.

Exactly. And sometimes their dials and cases don't go together.

 
 By: patrick_y : August 11th, 2022-23:34
I remember one Chopard L.U.C. with a very thin gold bezel (bezel is part of the case) and a dial with really bold applied gold numerals. The thin bezel made the watch look delicate. Kind of like an IWC Portuguese chronograph has a thin bezel. But then the... 

100% agreed.

You are experts guys, really appreciate your views… I understand the direction. Still, happy to find this nice community , who knows maybe one time with a real watch : D Best Regards..

Not many watches fail to get the 12 at the top and 6 at the bottom

 
 By: cazalea : August 9th, 2022-18:09
This one is truly exceptionally bad

Little Update, cause it makes fun to you too :)

 
 By: yorgun06 : August 10th, 2022-07:14
As some remarked, I asked She to test it and yes, inside body (idk how to call it) , rotating freely. (i.e. 12 is not at north). But there is a small blue fixer, see the updated photos pls..I am far away from home otherwise I would take some macro photos ...  

happy hour mark

regardless it is fake or not.

 
 By: Gelato Monster : August 10th, 2022-07:25
perhaps it belongs to someone in your family thus priceless and filled with family moments. keep it

 
 By: yorgun06 : August 10th, 2022-07:32
thank you very kind words..You are right, She said she knows it over decades with us..I was saying her, I will buy me a watch , she remembered and showed me this one..Not my style, but hey the uniquest fake lol

perhaps it is no longer suitable for daily use due to its age

 
 By: Gelato Monster : August 10th, 2022-07:41
just get something new and fun for your daily use

Impressive watchmaking skills!…

 
 By: pplater : August 11th, 2022-03:16
Your mother may not be able to take great photographs, but she sure knows how to take a watch apart to straighten the dial! With just a little more guidance from this forum, she will make a great counterfeiter! Cheers, pplater.

Please don't be rude!

 
 By: yorgun06 : August 12th, 2022-10:12
She didn't take watch apart. From the feedbacks here she shaked the watch and see its moving..Even if I asked her to open and take a look inside the back cover, She couldn't trust herself, and didnt opened is an old woman..I dont how is in your family bu... 

A long time ago, Yorgun…

This forum agreed that the regular influx of poor photographs of clearly counterfeit watches posted by first-time posters should be given no oxygen whatsoever. The clear intent of those trolls was to get expert advice on how to improve their efforts. Even...
