This looks somewhat legitimate, but I am skeptical, any thoughts? Thanks-

This is a brand new rep so would like confirmation before reporting, but fake for me.

Thanks for taking a look- I'm a bit skittish- I asked for photos of the warranty card, and the S/N. No reply yet. He does have a good seller reputation, but not for watches. However After having traveled to China and other parts of the world, several times, I have a whole different worldview on easy fakes, some of which are shockingly good.

I'd prefer to find this model through a AD who would discount, but not having much luck.

:welcome:

Comparing this to the replica I know of, this looks real. Tells are the shape of the 0 in 20 on the bezel and the gen GMT hand has a silver base whereas the rep's is red. I'll do a side by side when I get a minute.

Not the greatest photo, but does the date font look right to you?

It's real, date font is different.
Replica is not that good (just $138).

Here's a side by side - gen on the left.

Image

Main tells are:-
0 in 20 is the wrong shape
Centre ring on GMT hand red, not silver
Gen 5 on dial is square whereas fake is rectangular

As BN noted, the gen date wheel is thinner than the usual font used.

Hope this helps someone from making an expensive mistake.

Scary for the 1st generation, this could easily become an SOH type fake with later versions.

The lug width are the big giveaway? The real has an integrated bracelet/strap but fakes so far have conventional lugs.
