Total fake

In Response To: Unusual dial *LINK* ()

: The wave pattern is missing, the 300m/1000ft is
: reversed but other than that it looks good
: to me.

So... other than the several very obvious signs that something it wrong, it looks good to you? Sorry, but you get a grade of "F" in fake detection school today.

Here's the run down on that one:

Wave pattern missing

Depth rating written wrong

"professional" is in all lower case instead of upper case letters

"Seamaster" name in similar, but not correct lettering style

If you look from the back, it is clear the links are five pieces, not nine.

Slots to access the bracelet pins too big

Any one of these alone would be positive proof it is a fake.
