Oh, too big pictures, sry.

Right click on picture and then press "Show image" and you'll see them in normal size.

Well, just what I expected :(

Can you tell me how you see that it is a fake? Where and what are the shortcomings you are looking at?

Thanks for the help!

There are many of them, just look at the subdial values.

Just look at real pics side by side and you should have no problem distinguishing the two. Thats probably the worst Skyland fake ive seen.

:welcome:

Start by comparing the sub-dials of the gen and fake.

As BN says, it's a quartz fake.

Why bother with the subs, just look at the numbers lol. They look like they were homemade.

The arabic numerals should be "stenciled." These are not, they have paint or something applied to make them appear (to the legally blind) stenciled.

The sub dials are too large and crowded together.

It is very, very far off from a genuine. Look at the real thing, then look at these pics. Ouch!

The numeral 4 looks like it is also twisted.

one of the most awful Super Avenger fakes that i've ever seen. Look at the crooked numerals. @OP: how could you miss that?! :shock:
