    I apologise but I haven't cracked this new website. The watch that you refer to is Il Destriero Scafusia. It's the ultimate grand complication made in 1993 and a few years afterwards in a series of 125. I have some photos but am unable to post on the new Forum.

    Sorry to tell you this, but the one with this spelling DESHIERO is a cheap and poor fake.

    Thank you. I did make a spelling mistake before... it is " IL DESHIERO SCAFUSIA " One question that bothers is, assuming it is indeed a fake, why can I not find a picture of this watch? And replicas usually are made based on an actually watch, which again I cannot find one even close to this. I do have to say that this " replica " that I have seen is a very good copy. I will forward a picture when I can see it again.

    Hi,
    I am sure it is a fake with all that you wrote. Do you have a price?
    If I remember well (depending an the material) the watch is worth 200,000 USD!
    Compare it with your offer :=)
    Here is a pic for you:

    All the best

    If you are referring to this horror watch please stay away from it. You are wasting your money and are supporting criminals should you ever buy such a product. It is indeed a cheap and very poor fake....
