Lucien Piccard: Real or Fake?
I've just bought this watch (new) for a steal. Obviously, when you buy a watch for a "steal", you're going to be hesitant about it's quality. As of now, it's running perfectly, and by all means seems genuine. That being said, i'd still like some reassurance. Before you look at the picture, please note that the plastic dust seal is still attatched to the face and back, because at one point I might want to sell it for a bit of profit. Of course, if it turns out to be fake, i'll just keep it for myself :-d.

Exactly. The current LP watches are just another resurrection of a venerable old brand name with no connection whatever to the original company. LP is an old name, not one of the most illustrious, but well worth buying for whatever brand recognition remains - remember that most people of a certain age will remember the brand but not know it is a zombie brand.And the reason is: Doing business with a good (bought) name.
"Oh, goody, get a Lucien Piccard, honey. My granddaddy used to wear one!"
There is some justification for this, since LP is a zombie brand. Whatever reputation was created by the old LP company applied only to the watches they actually made. The new ones have no more relation to the original LP company's watches then the new "Indian" motorcycles have to the legendary bikes from the 40's and 50's.Not as real as mine.
I'm not a purist with much of any consumer goods so most any watch such as LP, Invicta, etc., selling in the $50-150 range is likely 1000 Xs better than the watches I wore for many years that I purchased at Kmart for $10. My current Invicta will likely last at least 10 Xs longer than the last piece of junk I bought for $10 at CVS Pharmacy.. If I'm not mistaken the MSRP for my CVS watch was $1.29. Amazingly it still works and keeps good time.
Hello, So I have two question. How do you know the age of the watches? I have to very old ones still working, but as Atino00 said I cant find the worth. I cant even fine the picture of it. Second question is these watches are suppose to be lifetime warentee how do I find how to contact company to take advantage?It's worth it's weight in Gold, current spot price.
This is not a chuckle, but a major 'knee-slapper'!

It's like asking if your Timex is real or fake. It would probably cost a replica company more to duplicate it than what it sells for.
Once a respected brand 75 years ago, it has become an inexpensive Asian fashion line, with most models selling for between $40 and $80 at WalMart. So congratulations: you saved $10.
What I don't like is your idea of trying to rip someone off by misrepresenting the watch's actual worth at re-sale.

By NOT wearing it, you're ruining it. A mechanical watch needs to be worn occasionally to keep the parts lubricated. Otherwise it will dry out and require possibly expensive servicing.Really? I wasn't aware of that. I myself am an owner of one of his 1930's models, though I wouldnt wear it because I wouldn't want to ruin its pristine condition.
Huh? You're dreaming ...... Warranty on a $40 watch that's worth a dollar now?Hello, So I have two question. How do you know the age of the watches?

My Lucien Piccard listed for $110 and that was in 1962 Dollars; redeemable.
