Hi Guys, I am completely new to this forum and would appreciate help with this one. This is the only decent photo that the seller provided. Claims to have all the boxes, certs and paperworks. He is willing to visit AD together to verify the watch but with the kinds of fakes we can see lately I am not sure that even then I will be at ease. Since it's two hours driving i would like to spare myself if it's not worth it. I know that you will hardly be able to tell much after only one poor photo but hints on what to check when holding the watch, would be of great help as well. Cheers! http://www.flickr.com/photos/47890679@N ... hotostream |

There is a very good fake of this model, and I'm not 100% based on that photo. I would want to see a better photo of the bezel showing the 10 and / or 15 mark. |

Thanks for reply... Here is another one which is a night shot with iphone hence the poor quality. http://www.flickr.com/photos/47890679@N ... otostream/ |

Based on the second photo it looks real. With this model you have to make sure that all of the paperwork matches - same serial on COSC, warranty and watch. |

Is there a typical serial# for this model to be aware of? |

Looks good from the so-so cell phone pic. If all the papers match the serial number, then I'd feel pretty safe with this one. |

I own the same watch, believe it's the gray face, correct? I did a comparison and it looks good, the 1's on the 10 & 15 match. |

If you do meet check the Lume dots, the real should just be slight bumps where the fakes usually are raised and dome like. |

Yes, it is grey dial. Unfortunatelly, the seller suddenly stopped answering to my messages so I think someone else was faster  It would be decent from him to answer that the watch is sold, but ... nothing, not a word. I think this one was not meant to be mine. Thanks all of you. I am in the hunt again... |
