Hi,
first time poster here.I was wondering if anyone could give me there opinion on these 2 recent auction listings 8902383352
8905885568 .I was always under the impression that lecoultre never made a triple date chronograph,at least a vintage one.I just looked at all my lecoultre chronographs and the signature on the chronograph bridge definitely looks different than these do.

They're bogus, Paul. Good quality work, but fake frankenwatches, none the less.

I did a search on "frankenwatches" and that was very informative. Here is another link discussion about these fakes.

Hi Paul, good seeing you here!

They're fakes. I'm pretty sure I know who makes them too. He's a Polish fellow that has cases full of this stuff for sale in the German show circuit.
