Based on? Dont the engravings/text on the rotor look odd? And the color on the subdials?

Based on the fact that it's real.

There's nothing wrong with any of it - it's just 15 years old.

Based on? years of experience :) As Roff said, the watch is correct for a late 1990s Chornomat and there were no accurate looking fakes made in that era. Those subdial rims make it a 'GT' version.

clearly real, a late 90s GT, as ade113 has said.
based on a lot of experience and knowledge, as far as Roff is concerned.
thank you for being so kind to allow us to serve you !

Never seen a rotor so can't comment. The sub-dial circles and Wings logo look odd but I'd put it down to colour balance of the lighting. Everything else looks OK.

Hi again!

Thank you for your answers, I didnt mean to sound rude. My concerns are that the colors on the dial/subdials are uncommon, most I've are blue on the dial and gold on subdials and the engravings on the rotor seems uncommon as well. The b13050.1 rotors I've seen doesnt look like this one.

But you guys have seen this colors / these engravings before?

Another "concern" is the amazing condition of this watch, seeing as it should be from the late 90s

Kindest Regards!

Still real :roll:

If it has recently been serviced I would expect it to look lke that.
