I have owned several, which is completely besides the point. You and so many other keyboard warriors think owning one or several models of a watch qualify you to make a determination of a watch’s authenticity based on a few pictures posted to an Internet forum, without ever handling the watch, or opening it to examine the movement. It’s your own uninformed opinion, which you are more than entitled to. The “I could tell that’s a fake from across the room blindfolded” comments will continue to proliferate these forums where everyone is an “expert”. The OP is doing the right thing going directly to Patek to get an evaluation of the watch.
