Warning.. Fake Orients for sale on the Net..

A friend purchased this fake Orient off a popular Internet auction site without realising it wasn't the genuine deal.. It is a fake.. The dial is poor imitation of the Orient Mako dial.. The crown is nothing like the one on the genuine Orient beast.. The movement might be a genuine Orient one, but is not the right calibre for the beast and the see through back is such a poor fit that when you tighten it pops off.. Despite this and complaints made to the auction site, they still are being sold..
