I usually don't see suspect watches on watchfinder or other 2nd hand dealers, but surely they couldn't have been taken by something like that? Is there an actual JLC model with the gold hands?

[Argee1977]

Wow, that is an awful fake, the poor date window and handset aside, it's a hometime without the actual GMT hand, which kind of gives it away :lol:

[Daddelvirks]

Auch!

Not good, not good at all..............

Daddel.

I sincerely hope its a fake; otherwise its a very ugly JLC! :shock:

[Mowgli]

I don't know JLC at all but I honestly wouldn't think they would be taken in by a fake.

[spluurfg]

Well, I did buy one of these off the forum for like, £30 a while ago...


The oxidation of the copper plated indices and the tiny date sort of gives it away

I emailed Watchfinder about this and sent them a link to this thread and received this reply from the company director, Matt Bowling:

"Thank you for alerting us to the discussion and presence of this watch on our site. It is, as has been suggested, a fake. We’re looking into how the item managed to get on to the website and I’ll send you a full explanation of this when I have all the facts. Identifying fake watches is something that is of critical importance to us and here we have let our customers and ourselves down.

It is very surprising this slipped through but glad to see it has been dealt with promptly and efficiently. It should still be removed from the archives though!

That could have been very embarrassing !!

I wonder if that piece was on commission rather than something they had bought in ?
