Hello , I'm in communication with the vendor of this Elgin watch , he made me an offer : US $260.00 . Is it worth it ?
Be kind , if it's cool for you , let me buy it !
Here is the link : https://www.ebay.com/itm/186750347119?_trkparms=ni_actn:nav|ni_nt:SellerInitiatedOffer|ni_apos:1|ni_sg:1|ni_pos:1|ni_st:READ|ni_wh:1|ni_nid:691938802584|ni_nsid:186750347119|ni_et:1732721695370|ni_bn:1&_trksid=p2380424.m570.l5997&ul_noapp=true
Its a „Frankensteiner „ watch. Wrong back, wrong markings , wrong crown and maybe also wrong second sweep hand.
If it would have been legit it would not have lasted 1 minute for this price.

You're right , I did my homework and checked on serious sites , yes the back as wtong markings , and about the price I could not believe that was an original . Did not now the "Frankensteiner" term , It sounds appropriate for this type of scam .Thank you Pilot .

For this kind of watch if legit 600/700 Euro is the selling tag and it moves for this figure..
The Sterling Bulova A-11‘s and the central sweep second, with white dial Elgin‘s go for 1200Euro or more in certain countries ( Asia/Gulf Region )…
Anything below and which sits there for longer than a glimpse, like a pimpel on the nose… is suspect.

Thank you Pilot for this wise advice. I'll stick with my Praesidius A11 for a while. And I'll study watches a little more before dreaming of these kinds of fake golden treasures.
