    Hey Guys :)

    I`m new to this platform and would love to get some more information on this
    watch.

    What are the important things to check on in order to determine whether it´s
    real or not?

    A lot of background information, actually any kind of information would be
    helpful.

    Thanks in advance,

    Tony

    Ok here we go:

    the overall quality of the finishing is bad.

    the hands are to short and lousily finished

    the outer ring with the minute markets is not placed correctly.

    the small second is misplaced ( small movement in a big case)

    case finishing is bad

    crown is like nothing i have seen up until now

    caseback is more etched then engraved

    Buckle not original

    Strap of bad quality

    ans so on.
