Vacheron Constantin

Hi,
Can you tell me please if this is fake Vacheron or not?? Watch comes from estate collection and with no papers. Thanks.

It looks hilarious to me!

you can knock me over with a feather!

it is that it is so poorly applied. Also, the steel case back with Overseas logo is a giveaway that this watch isn't correct. Stay away from this watch.

You need to get the back opened and have a look at the inside of the back to see the markings as well as the movement.

Unfortunately I have pictures only so can't open it. I was told the owner probably got them in 1990x or maybe late.
Here's another picture I've got:

which I believe is used exclusively on the Overseas line.  If it is a ship, then I believe this watch is not authentic, as it is not part of the Overseas collection.

My reaction is very unscientific and not based on specific knowledge but this watch just does  not have the VC "look".
The "guilloche'" looks like it is embossed rather than true guilloche.  Also, I don't recognize the design.  Finally, the combination of "large" Roman numerals and the diamonds just don't go together. 
As I said, this is just a visceral reaction.

I just do not see much quality there, even for a ladies watch. Also, how many V&C would have a gold plated top and SS back? I'd take a big pocket knife to the auction and open it up. Although there may not be much to see.

I'd let someone else explore this bargain.

.... keep enough distance ...
Very poor quality ...

just wanted to tell this ... filip

What do you mean by estate collection?  Do you inherit the watch from someone?
