Fake !

In Response To: Re: Be careful ! ()

Thanks for your response Steve. If you do a search for ebay item 5050306990 you can see the pictures. the specs are in German but you can see the watch.Anyone have any comments? thanks

Hi Rick , Hi Guys.

The watch is a pure fake. ( The movement is probably OK, though ).

a few tell tale signs.

- On the case back. the "A" in WATERPROOF, should NOT have a pointed top. It should be flat.

- The case ref # is wrong ( Rick pointed this out already )

- The Dial has "stubbies". Look at the luminous hour "blocks". See the small mark between the "block" & the outside of the dial ? ( you can clearly see this on the "9" block ) That is a fake dial.

- look at the date window..... It has simply been cut out of the dial. The number doesn't even fit into the cutout properly.

- the "9" is closed. The loop in the "9" should be open.

here are a couple of pics...

I'd run away from this one :-)
