Find an AD with a watchmaker on staff and pay for an inspection

Er, no.

You are much more likely to get an expert opinion from members here than from an AD, watchmaker or no.

Well, I'm sure AD's differ from location to location mine has a certified Breitling watch person there, he goes to Connecticut once a year for additional training and really knows his stuff. I was talking about asking the cute girl at the front counter

This way they can pop the back, test the time keeping accuracy and pressure test it, can we do that here via a picture

Here's what a fake Navi World looks like. Note the sunken date with wrong font, the bezel rim is slightly thick and brushed caseback
