I am not an expert of watches but I have but I have been looking at more Corums. This one just doesnt look right, the bubble is too shallow, the movement is not marked in any way. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280975090625?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649 What do you guys think?

Looks like a poor quality fake or replica to me. I don't think Corum would display a movement on the back that wasn't decorated in some way. It doesn't look like a movement Corum would use either. Printing on the case back is sub-par also. Strap appears to be cracked. Again, not something I would expect from Corum. Compare the one shown on ebay with this pic: Attachment: corum-bubble-18758-098.jpg (Downloaded 27 times)

Why is the story always, "found at an estate sale"?

Another example of what you would expect to see from a Corum exhibition case back: Attachment: IMG_6931.JPG (Downloaded 27 times)
