Hi there!
I was wondering, is this the real deal or just some junk?
And please explain (if it's a fake) Where it differs from the real thing.

Thanks in advance,

It's garbage.

Date font is wrong, date wheel is sunken too low below the dial and the subdials are incorrect.

Also looks like chrono dials are winding away while chronograph is not activated.

Can't assume that from the picture - could be a 60 minute chrono with counter at 9 o'clock. Of course the movement is garbage too, and unlikely to have a single 60 minute counter, but it's theoretically possible.

Ah, good point. Didn't think about that.

:welcome: and as the others have said, it's a cheap fake.

Re the sub-dials, the 3 sub-dial mirrors the time in 24h mode. Currently shows 20:00.

The two 60 sub-dials at 6 and 9 make me suspect it's quartz.
