ACTUALLY I GOT PISSED OFF BECAUSE I SPENT ALOT OF MONEY, THAT I WORK HARD FOR ON SOMETHING THAT HE SAID MAY BE A FAKE OR REPLICA. AND I HAVE BOUGHT MANY WATCHES FROM THE SAME BROKER I ALWAYS HAVE BOUGHT FROM.

Riiiiight, acting like you didn't know now. Is your broker on Canal street?
makes no difference to me if you believe it or not..
why would i post pics of watches that were replicas? this is a BMW forum, would i not think ppl would know...

My "BROKER" is the same guy who makes the jewelry for me. He is a diamond broker in LA..i have bought many rings over the yrs from him, i had "THOUGHT" he was a really reputable guy...maybe i was misled, i dunno but will def be looking into it this nxt week..

When you have them checked out, I encourage you to use an "authorized dealer". Replicas have come a long way...The photo below shows a fake rolex with the back popped out. An untrained jeweler would probably tell you this was legit because the movement is marked "rolex". Someone who knows Rolex movements would know right away it isn't real. That much said, I think some of your watches should be easy to identify as replicas because they have styles that I don't think were ever made and the tourbillons don't appear to be real.
When I have purchased vintage or grey market watches I have had the seller put on the receipt both the serial number of the watch and a statement saying the watch was 100% authentic. That way if there was ever an issue, I was going right back with the watch and the receipt.
I'd love to be a fly on the wall when you revisit your broker! Oh....if you find out their are issues with the watches, I'd question the jewelry/gem stones he sold you.
Good luck!
