Hi All,

I'm new here and new to watches in general. Please let me know if I'm posting correctly and in alignment with the rules.
I've done a couple days of research and could really use your feedback and expertise on the watch below, is the watch real or fake?

Things I'd appreciate your help on:
1. Reference Number
2. Inventory Number
3. Movement Authenticity (stamp?)
4. Anything else that catches your eye

Thank you in advance!

Thank you both, this is super helpful. I found an image of a similar watch, might this one be the original or also a redial?
And I guess... what would you expect the price difference to be between the original and the redial?
