Bring a Loupe: Completely Fake Patek Philippe 1463 In Steel On eBay For Over $25,000 �C Here's How To Tell It's A Fake
Fake watches are scary and plentiful, great original watches are beautiful but scarce – this is why we keep you up to speed in our weekly edition of Bring A Loupe. However, a weekly column isn't enough to flag all the offenders and we see countless bad watches sell each week. Sometimes, however, we see one that is so offensive, and in this case, so expensive, that we just have to dedicate an entire story to it here. A watch listed right here on eBay is supposed to be a rare Patek Philippe. It is, of course, not at all a Patek Philippe, but that doesn't prevent it from having a price of over $18,000 right now, with two more days to go.I will not only expose the parts that make this fake the worst buy you could ever make, but also the general attitude that I recommend having when hunting for a watch. My motto: only the paranoid make good collectors. When It Is Too Good To Be True Finding an amazing watch for a bargain is like looking for water in the desert: th

Event Recap: Harry Winston Celebrates The Ocean Sport Collection At Sunset Beach
The folks over at Harry Winston invited us to a really great event last Friday night at Sunset beach on Shelter Island. The cocktails and dinner (which was served on just an incredible 80 foot long table) was to celebrate the Ocean Sport collection - a casual, summery line of watches perfect for the beachside setting.The event was hosted by Winston CEO Fr��d��ric de Narp, and was attended by a whole bevy of beautiful people (us notwithstanding, of course), including Russell Simmons, Hillary Rhoda, and Andr�� Saraiva, who tagged the step and repeat in front all the guests.? There was also a live performance by the Virgins and just a fantastic mix of interesting people. Oh, and of course, some pretty nice watches, too.Click through for some pics of the scene and check out the collection here. 2 OF 17 3 OF 17 4 OF 17 5 OF 17 6 OF 17 7 OF 17 8 OF 17 9 OF 17 10 OF 17 11 OF 17 12 OF 17 13 OF 17 14 OF 17

The stars alligned in Bangkok...
After two and a half months traveling in Shanghai, Singapore, Bangkok, with ten or so visits to Rolex shops, I'd only seen a few sports/professional models available. On the way to the gate at BKK the King Power Rolex Boutique came in to view. One more walk through a Rolex shop I thought. It looked like a fairly large selection in the shop, but pretty much the usual. On the way out the sales person looked at me and said they just got in a couple professional models. One was a Sea Dweller. At 363,100 baht it seemed a lower price than I would have expected. The wheels started spinning and pretty much had to go for it. I asked if there would be any tax and there was none. Whipped out the CSR visa and the rest is history. Airport shops might be a fairly good place to check as he said they don't keep any lists.
