Real or fake ? Looks legit but I know there are alot of you that are far more knowledgeable than I am. Thanks

I posted pictures, but it didn't seem to work out.

There are no pictures in your post.

Probably ok, but I'm not sure.

I am not sure if it is the angle of the photo, but to me, the rectangular window around the date is crooked on the left side.

That will be the photo, it's not a giveaway on the fake.

There is a very good fake of this model, and I wouldn't want to call it based on those photos. This is a model that really needs to be bought with matching papers.

Very hard to call it.

First, as far as I know there are no SOH 46 with “Swiss Made” on the dial unless a new version of the fake has been released. The pre-2010 SOH genuine did not have “Swiss Made” and the fakes copied that model.

-Secondly, the Superocean and Automatic text seem to be correctly positioned.
-The lume dots are OK from this pic. I need better picture to confirm this 100%
-The serial number spacing is correct (read below)
-There are no decent fakes of the mesh and that one looks legit.

Here are the problems that I see:

- The date window looks funny. Need better pics.
- The spacing of the serial number against the caseback edges is off. The genuine is centered.

The black SOH 46 has the best fake out there, or at least top 5.

As Roff said, unless matching paper with serious seller (buy the seller), I would stay away.

If you can open it, I can tell you for sure.

EDIT: Looking at it a bit more case says week 16/2007. If I'm not mistaken the dial did not have Swiss Made earlier on. Very hard to call this one.

Ok,the verdict is in. I took the watch to the store where the watch was purchased. The paperwork that came with the watch all turned out to be legit. When they punched the serial # into the computer the picture of the watch and purchase date all came up. Thanks for all the help guys.
