at the back of the band, the new medor watch does look different from the older medor watch..
if i recall correctly, the new ones have this H logo with screws, however the older ones are not the same.
the one i have is the older version.
anyhow, i urge you to bring the watch down to hermes store & get it serviced = this is the best way to authenticate your medor watch & get a peace of mind.
Hello bbbochap, thank for your visit and have transcation with you on ebay. According to my experience of the Hermes medor watch.
The Gold medor watch are 99.9% are old version
And they are open from bottom to the top, on the back muct have serial number, round Hermes stamp , water resistance , Swiss. The leather strap are marked "Hermes" and a letter showing the years of produce. But some old version leather strap show the word "Horloger".
And my best and realizable way to check all my watch selling on ebay is as below:
1. Visit the Hermes shop and ask for change battery (in Hong Kong about US$15). Cause Hermes provide international services, their products can have any repair and services in different country. If I buy from USA, I can go to Hong Kong or France Hermes for services.
2. Once they open the cover, they can check the status of the watch and auth. it, if it is fake items, they will not help you to do anything include change the battery.
3. If the watch condition is bad, they will quote the price to me for repair, change the parts and clean the machine inside the watch.
4. So you only use US$15, you can confirm the watch is fake or 100% auth. item.
Also before you place the auction on ebay or any store out of Hermes, you can check the back of the watch. In my experience, the fake medor watch is easy to identify from outlook.
And I want to say sorry to "catalyst81" cause too many people ask me "is this auth.?" "have receipt?" I only can say all the gold medor watch are old, some maybe over 10 years, I think most of the seller on ebay do not have the receipt. And I am 100% sure my items are auth. by checking as the above method.
If still have any question about the Medor watch, I will try to help all to solve. And thx for all support my selling Hermes items on ebay.
