The dot on the bezel

Well, thanks for the kind words, but I am just passing on knowledge I have gained in my years of participation on this and other forums.

Now, to the watch. I really had to do a double take on this one. Its pretty good, but the fake serial # was the first problem. Second, the dot in the triangle on the bezel is not in the correct position. It should be dead center. This is a common problem with fakes. Oh, and the crappy photos are a usually an indication of a problem. It really ticks me off that people actually intend to rip people off. Selling a fake is one thing, selling a fake as the real deal is outright theft and I hope this guy gets whats coming to him.

Thanks for participating, and I much enjoy my 2254.50 as well.
