    Good eye.

    It was just over $100. I thought it was quite well done, and you’re the first to notice.

    My son has worn it every day for the past year or so.

    I realise I never updated the group on my 5524r + accessories story ended… but let’s just say it had a very happy ending. With huge thanks to SoCal to Az and Jo Image Unavailable, Please Login Sta7 for their inspiration and encouragement and to flat_plane_eddie for his knowledge and expert insights. What a great piece. Have had it for a while now and just can’t take it off my wrist…!

    This Patek movement looks very suspect. Notice the screw at the center of the rotor. Also the shock spring for the balance wheel is not correct. There is also a regulator gate which Patek Philippe does not use, it should be a free sprung balance. Picture below is how the movement should look. Image Unavailable, Please Login

    Not only is it “very suspect” but it’s a $100 fake, as I said in post #727 above.

    Sorry, didn’t see that when I was writing my post. Glad to know you weren’t stuck with a fake watch.

    Only one watch stands out with a bespoke movement in your tray. Which one is it?
    love your PP collections!!

    What was the point of posting a picture of your fake Patek in the first place? I don’t get it…

    Not mine; my son’s. He’s worn it daily for the past year. High school, Bus Trip, and college.

    Rather obviously, I was curious to see if it could pass for the real thing. And it did for a surprisingly long time.

    5235G, I believe is the only watch movement in the Patek line-up that is not used in any other model(?).

    I thought he meant a bespoke one off movement made for a customer.
