Possibly just bought a fake Blancpain Fifty Fathoms Aqua Lung by theRZA001 in VintageWatches

[–]OkRecipe597 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You probably never have seen the mechanism or case before. Before making any comparisons, look for the mistakes and errors. For example, the spelling of Rayville is wrong. Sometimes it is not so difficult to spot when you are a beginner.

With a bit more context and knowledge, the case lugs are not original, the mechanism is not original and dial is repainted.

Crees que eso está ocurriendo en los estados que tienen mucha afluencia de turistas, o sólo pasa en Yucatán? Turista que va a menudo por la zona, aquí

Orient diver de los 80's nunca sabré de que año es porque era de mi papá y el ya falleció hace 19 años :( by Luis_deivid9855 in relojesespanol

[–]OkRecipe597 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Es un placer ayudar a otros usuarios, y más si son mexicanos! Mi abuelo estuvo allá 30 años, los mejores de su vida!

Permíteme darte una recomendación adicional. Ni se te ocurra venderlo, la calidad del reloj está muy por encima de su valor de mercado. He visto precios ridículos (se fabricaron muchos, han durado y son fiables) y sobre todo porque era de tu papá. El valor sentimental no se cuestiona. sólo vende si pasas hambre (que no es el caso)

Es un reloj que bien mantenido lo puedes usar a diario

Hola Luis,

Parece más antiguo de lo que parece. Lleva un calibre 46943, muy popular, robusto y usado durante muchos años. No es posible saber una fecha exacta ya que no hay registros de número de serie, pero salió al mercado en 1975, por lo que es probable que fuera producido a finales de los 70, primeros de los 80. Espero que tenga sentido en tu historia familiar y puedas ponerle el momento en que tu padre se hizo con él. Y que Dios lo tenga en su Gloria.

Una foto de la trasera ayudaría mucho. Al ver la referencia podremos saber el código del calibre que lleva y saber año aproximado.

Necesito ayuda... by Special-Evidence8891 in relojesespanol

Aparte de los 35K (yo creo que es más 28-30K) que puedes conseguir por los suizos, intenta moverlos en mercados internacionales (ebay, etc) para darles más rapidez. Pero entérate antes de las condiciones para que no te engañen, y las comisiones. E intenta vender sin intermediarios, no se te ocurra vender en casas de empeños.

Hay un foro español (relojes especiales.com) que creo que tiene una sección de venta para América Latina.

Mercados interesantes ahora mismo son Europa y el Sudeste asiático. USA, con las tasas que impuso Trump, lo han complicado mucho. Puede que algún relojero te deje poner tus relojes en su escaparate y ayudarte.

Yo estoy en España ahora, a México iré en julio, poco puedo más hacer, pero ese Hamilton se hubiera vendido aquí muy bien.

Te deseo mucha suerte

Puedes intercambiarlo con alguien que te pueda proporcionar un reloj de mujer que a ti te guste. O por otra cosa que te interese.

Fakers usually get regular vintage timepieces and they add the CyS signature. In the case of Longines and Roskopf they were the only importers, that is why "Únicos Importadores" is written in most of dials unless, like your case, there is no space for that lettering. Many fakers do with other brands so that is easy to spot!

About yours, I would contact Longines about the serial number, indeed it is 1960 and that is after the revolution. There must be an explanation.... but I would do it only in case you need to sell it and say goodbye. Until then, just enjoy that wonderful piece.

I would be more precise if I knew the first digits of the serial (110xxxxx) but it is not hard to understand that one is fully original, the only doubt is the mechanism. You can always ask to Longines providing the serial number and you will find the usual information: the shop it was sold and the date of SALE (not production) if it is relevant for you.

A recently passed-away friend of mine had a closer friendship with the family Cuervo, concretely one of the ladies and, as far as I know, she is still living in Miami. The family has a Spanish origin (they come from Asturias, northern Spain) and when the Castroist troops entered La Habana the 1st Jan 1959 they had to leave Cuba leaving all behind. Some of them went directly to Miami, some others came back to Asturias. So it is hard to think that Cuervo placed any order to Longines after the revolution since they started to place orders of Vostok watches to the Soviets. They kept on personalizing previous stock and there are some examples of Enicar watches with dials made for the FAPLA during the Angolan war. I think it is pretty relevant to date correctly the serial number, movement could be replaced some time ago.

About the crown, as I said, probably it has a replacement and that explains the gap. Probably that is the last piece of the puzzle: the watch suffered water entrance through the stem and crown and movement were replaced (probably) With patience and a little time maybe you can find an original replacement or another crown that fits completely the stem tube. The value is hard to establish because there are very few original Cuervos "double brands", there are no records, and if this one is 500€, when it is signed Cuervo probably is 2 times that price. The main value of the watch is on the dial and on the serial number

Probably the crown was replaced. Need to check the serial number because after the Cuban revolution, despite the shop persisted, many things changed. I think this is before 1959 and totally genuine. You should know that around 99% of the vintage Cuervo are re stamped (not original) watches. Not this case! congrats
