Definitely fake as it contains a "Top quality Japan Quartz/Automatic" movement. Reported

Edit: As suspected, the description the seller has added to the listing has been copied from a replica site :guns:

Well, to be fair he did say that it was Japanese and all markings are guaranteed to be real markings (of some kind). The only thing deceptive is the actual title of the auction. And the picture...
