Re: How to Spot a Fake / Real Vecharon

It is very hard to comment without pictures, but the bands on most (if not all) current VCs are not glossy or shiny (compared to some of Patek's formal watches) and they usually have a matte finish.

Personally, I like VCs matte finished straps (compared to the glossy, enamel sheen of Patek) as it sort of tones down the image of the watch.  If it were a watch to be worn only with tuxedos then the high sheen/glossy finish might be good, but on a less formal watch like the Bi-retro, I think a matte finish would be just right.

Again, I am only guessing that this is what you meant in your post.

As Alex mentioned, check out previous posts and the VC website for photos of the real thing.  It should be easy enough to tell once you see good photos of the backside in particular.


Good luck!
