I will, I'm 100% sure this is genuine and it's the only shot I have, do you guys agree that it's the real deal or should I ask for more pictures? The dial looks right, the font, crown and the wings. It all looks good to me. I've been hunting this one for a long time. Any help would be appreciated.

It's real. And beautiful. Really enjoy then Headwind. At 44 and straight lugs it doesn't work for me. :( My AD has had a preowned gold on gold bracelet. If only...

I've seen a couple of cheap fakes of the Headwind. Apart from looking cheap, both easy to spot.

One has a B-1 turbine case back and the other has a flat rather than rounded crown.

This is something I've wondered about for me, as well, since I've never been able to try one on in person. It's such a great watch, I've been tempted a few times to just order a pre-owned one blind. Since we have the same size wrist (I think), I'm glad I held off.

So you finally found one. Congratulations!

JS - the one thing that may make it work for you are the short lugs. For my wrist shape, it sits up high and with a straight case and lugs it just won't work.

Congrats to the OP. Truly one of my favorite Lings.
