I can't call this one as I've seen an exceptionally accurate fake of this watch recently. The SA's with both the stencil dial (i.e. this one) and also the baton dial are another two watches I'd now never buy without full B's and P's. |

I don't like that situation. I was wrong before (apparently not many times), but it doesn't look good to me. Lume is not off, but looks bubbly. 15 on a rider tab looks off for a mile, although marks on the bezel are pretty sharp. Could you ask the seller a photo of matching serials on the warranty? If that is a gen, QC wasn't high on that one. Just saw the pearl on the auction photo, it looks good. More opinions? Maybe I should stick to older models reps, I'm not into it as I used to be.  This new V3 replica .  This is older one with easy catch on bigger 60 and 30 in the seconds subdial.

I can't see enough to call it fake, but by the same token, can't see enough to call it genuine either - we definitely need better pictures, and I suspect that they aren't going to be provided because the seller knows what's going on! |

The lume is blobs, isn't that a sign that it's fake? |

Lume doesn't look too bad to me, nowhere near as bad as the fakes that bnewbie posted. |

My first reaction was fake since the lume dots look like blobs to me but the s/n on the case back appears to match the COSC so I guess it is probably real. |
