Extremely helpful.

[@landaverdecarlos]

I have one with ISA Swiss Movement.

[@ifratc]

Great video. What size is the red screwdriver: 50, 60, 70, 80? Thank you in advance.

[@Birthyearwatches]

1.2mm

[@ifratc]

@@Birthyearwatches that's what I figured - 120. Is that a proper screwdriver for this screw or can I go smaller? Thank you for answering so quickly. I couldn't find any info online about screw/screwdriver size for this watch (I assume same size for ladies' watches) .

[@Birthyearwatches]

@@ifratc you should use the largest screwdriver possible for all screws. That gives the most torque and is less likely to damage the screw head. I recommend the Horotec ranges but these are professional tools and not cheap.

[@rayw2707]

Yeah. I would destroy a fake one as well.

Very nice video. I just bought one myself and I suspect it is not real. I don't have a small enough screwdriver yet, so I can't be completely sure. But I wanted to ask - does this model (original) have a logo on the crown? My watch does not have it and I thought this might be one of the signs it is fake. Thanks!

[@Birthyearwatches]

The crown could or could not have a logo - you need to see inside to be sure. Fingers crossed for you

[@beeroslava]

@@Birthyearwatches It is original, phew :D The seller was a decent human being. Thank you for the info, I almost returned it, because I thought it might be fake due to the lack of logo.

[@pumasgoya]

I would take it anyway.

[@SandroMagna]

Didn't you ask to see pictures of the movement before committing to a purchase?

[@Birthyearwatches]

It wasn't possible, a face to face transaction with another dealer who was also taken in with the watch

[@marcheathrow8930]

It might well be fake but it was Paul newmans fake watch and was worth £10,000000 😮

[@sergiosaenz8008]

I got one too😏.. So bad.

[@Pensi0nar]

I am sorry for your loss. A good lesson is to avoid watches that don't come with a swiping second hand.

[@shahinsha108]

You lost money in that ?

[@Birthyearwatches]

Yes. But I didn't want to sell it on. The cost of the watch is the price of the lesson.

[@shahinsha108]

@@Birthyearwatches so the original watch features a swiss 6 jewel quartz movement right ?

[@Birthyearwatches]

@@shahinsha108 it should have a Longines 420 movement with thirteen jewels

[@TheBeamingSoul]

@@Birthyearwatches I see that you are a man with integrity.

Frankenwatch

[@Birthyearwatches]

No, a complete fake. Frankenwatches are made up of parts from different watches. This is completely faked from start to finish
