Hey everyone i need help with authentication. A. The band is starting to fade in unusual spot. B. The dial screws are fading as well. I've attached photos and just wanted to see what the pros think.

Thanks for the help

James

It's completely real, the gold is wearing through because it was never that thick and the watch is getting on for 20 years old.

What's confusing me is whilst the pearl looks to be from a 13050, AFAIK the 5 line script on the dial was only used on the 13356 Evo.

The diamonds don't look like any pic I can find either but could obviously be aftermarket.

Put me down as a "don't know"!

Diamonds obviously aftermarket, and agree that the rider tab is off, but no shock there with an aftermarket bezel. Look at caseback and (genuine) chrono / duog bracelet - totally convinces me.
