Hey guys -- another bit of help with this SO Heritage 46 mm

Another question - what does it mean when someone says there are 'undated' warranty papers? Doesn't the AD require a proof of purchase with the papers?

Seller has 294 feedbacks, and all are positive.

I would say there's a 99.5% chance it's legit.

Can't see much from the pic, but think it's a genuine one.
Didn't see any fake SOH's.

Pics are terrible, but watch seems to be good, but I would not give a guarantee on that.

At least I think so.. haven't seen any good fakes of it yet, and it comes with all the proper attire.

FYI, there is now a good replica of the 46mm SOH. Claimed to be made with a Swiss ETA-2824, AR coated sapphire and tested to 10 bar. It looks good enough to fool the casual buyer and, apart from the usual date font problem, maybe even more seasoned observers.

As for this auction, another contender for the who can take the worst watch photo of the year competition! Based on feedback, as opposed to being able to examine the watch, I'd have said real.

Some ADs make favors to their regular customers and date the papers when something is wrong with the watch to prolong the warranty.
